DarkRadiant 1.5.0 pre-release sanity check

[greebo]

I'm looking for a few adventurous mappers who are willing to help me testing the next DarkRadiant codebase. I've been doing considerable changes to the UI (user-interface) code, and now that the transition is done I need a few helping hands to find as many UI bugs as possible.

 

The task is the following: download one of the release packages linked below and systematically check if the UI and Dialogs are still working. It's best if possible testers coordinate their efforts, as there are quite a few dialogs and inspectors available in DR.

 

This includes:

- All menu options: are these still working, or are some broken or doing nothing?

- All toolbar icons.

- All inspectors and floating tools (light, surface, patch, layers, texture tool, transformation dialog, entity list, etc.)

- All plugins (objectives, S/R, difficulty, conversation, AI head chooser)

- Entity Inspector controls

- XY View and Camera behaviour (mouse clicks all working, for instance?)

- Overall: any crashes

 

Is there anybody interested?

 

Note: this package doesn't hold any fixes or new features over the 1.4.0 released last month, so don't apply hoping that your favourite DR bug might be fixed in that release, it isn't.

new pre4 x86 package

I can test the linux version. Is there a tag in the svn repository and does it build under linux?

And I don't know if i can get to it before next week.

I haven't tested in Linux. I know that OrbWeaver checked in some build fixes in July, but I don't know if they are sufficient for the recent merge.

Awesome stuff, gonna have a look now.

 

Will also try building in windows to double check everything is happy

Make sure you update the w32deps (and w64deps if you're compiling for x64) too, there have been tons of binary and header updates.

They're in the same update job for me, because I'm terrible forgetful like that

 

The x64 version linked here seem to have become corrupt, it moans that all the dll's (shaders/skins... etc) are corrupt during the install. Re-downloaded and the same deal again.

 

Going to try the 32 now...

 

Edit: and it also complains about being damaged, install doesn't even start. Going to try building a 32bit release now.

As per the last couple of revisions I shall check Dr in the few maps I currently working on etc and feedback results

Ok, sounds like something got screwed along the process - I was compiling that installer package on a different machine. I'll double-check that.

 

edit: yes, there's something amiss. I'll re-upload a test package.

[greebo]

Uploaded a new x64 build (pre2). Don't have time to do a x86 compile right now, maybe tomorrow.

[Serpentine]

Sweet, my build completed successfully (32 release). But I'll use the x64 of yours for testing now.

Ok will wait till then, as the current version wouldn't install for me..

[Serpentine]

I've gone through everything that I usually use and more - elements looked the same or close enough not to nice. Looks like a pretty smooth transition, good job.

 

However changing between window layouts did manage to get a crash. When loading a map, a larger progress bar pops up, I assume its the sub-bar.

 

Going to continue messing around later

[greebo]

Ok, after some obstacles the Win32 build is also available in the first post now.

Update:

 

1.5.0pre2 comes up with a program crashed error after its been correctly shut down...

[greebo]

There is a new 1.5.0pre3 package available, including the following fixes:

 

- 0002351: [Map Editing] Light entity wireframes not updated, don't reflect actual entity, after rotation

- 0002349: [GUI] new XY view crash

 

See first post for download links.

I'll have another round with it tonight, any areas in specific you'd like us to check greebo?

[Bikerdude]

Greebs, how gopes it with x86pre4..?

[greebo]

There is no pre4 version yet, I've been away for almost two weeks so no progress has been made. Are you referring to the crash on shutdown?

 

Is it reproducible and if yes, does it also occur when you shut down immediately after starting up (i.e. without doing any mapping)?

[Bikerdude]

Yes, and it only happens after I have loaded a map.

[greebo]

I'll try to reproduce it then. Don't hold your breath though, I've reserved a few days for our own mapping project, so DarkRadiant has to wait.

[Bikerdude]

No worries, as and when chap.

 

If you need another set of hands on yer map etc..

Yes, and it only happens after I have loaded a map.

Doesn't crash on me: I start DR, load Politics.map and then shut it down. Does it crash on any map for you?

 

It's possible that my dev version is slightly more stable than yours (pre3), so I could compile another pre-package for you to check.

[greebo]

Here's a new pre4 32 bit package: http://www.dramthethief.com/darkmod/files/darkradiant/darkradiant-1.5.0pre4.exe

[Bikerdude]

testing..

 

[update]

 

getting a dll error on install...

 

"C:\program files\DarkRadiant\lib\gtk-2.0\modules\libgail.dll"

 

Clicking the ignore button just brings up more errors...
