New internal test version

[greebo]

Next bunch of pre-release test builds:

 

Win32: http://www.dramthethief.com/darkmod/files/...-0.9.11pre4.exe

Win64: http://www.dramthethief.com/darkmod/files/....11pre4.x64.exe

 

Please use these for testing, the three bugs discussed above should be fixed now.

Thanks greebo. 3 out of 3 ain't bad. I'll check this out later else tomorrow.

It might just be me, but the "floating" interface seems a lot happier now. Fewer rendering hiccups.

[Fidcal]

OK, re-testing with new version:

 

Pointfile bug now OK.

Shortcut keys now OK.

Surface Inspector now OK.

[Fidcal]

I notice shortcut keys don't work if you focus on the main window. Did they ever? Not sure when this matters except starting with no windows open but the main one.

[greebo]

What do you mean with main window focused? In principle, the shortcuts also work with just the main title bar focused, of course. Can you describe the situation? Is this floating or embedded?

[Fidcal]

Seems to be working now. What I saw a few minutes ago was:

 

Click on Main Title bar to get focus

Press say N for entity inspector. Nothing happened

Press S for surface inspector. Nothing

Click on orthoview.

Press S. Surface inspector toggles correctly.

 

But now it seems to work.

[greebo]

So any other issues been cropping up since the last test version? If not, I'd say we are ready to release.

[Fidcal]

Nothing new here. I now have a workable floating configuration. Best yet. I've settled for smaller default camera and ortho views but I can go full screen easy. I found a smaller but squarer camera or ortho is actually better than a tall or wide larger version strangely where I kept feeling blinkered. (I must get two monitors one day.) Switching between programs is better. Focus switching is better. Often hard to get the focus away from the entity list input field but I don't think that's new to this version. I'd say release it.

[greebo]

Okay, new test versions available, consider these release candidates for the upcoming 0.10.0 release. I'd be happy if people could download these and test things like prefab insertions, entity cloning, copy&pasting etc, with special attention to multiple entities ending up with the same name.

Anyone who is testing these snapshots might also want to test that these features are working correctly.

I installed it today and its looking pretty nice, especially the light rendering.

 

One thing I noticed, entities with lights already tied into them like atdm:torch_gothic_wall

aren't showing up in the renderer. Should I put this on the tracker?

Greebo, do you think it would be acceptable to have some test maps in the main mod SVN for the sole purpose of testing renderer (and other features) in DarkRadiant? For example, a small map with some vertex blended models, a skybox, some projected lights etc.

 

I would be reluctant to add such maps to the DarkRadiant source repository, firstly because of the size implications and also because there would be dependencies on assets from the mod itself which would make the maps useless for outsiders.

[greebo]

Of course it's acceptable. We already have about 180 testmaps in the maps/test/ folder, so there's nothing speaking against having one more for DarkRadiant purposes. Feel free to go ahead!

Project "Test Render" is a go!
