Darkradiant 0.5.0 Bugs And Suggestions

[New Horizon]

Post bugs and suggestions here.

[OrbWeaver]

Some known issues:

 

* Changing a property on an entity (such as the colour of a light) does not update the "Map modified" property, so you can't save until you have changed something else (to be fixed in next point release).

* Dragging static meshes does not update the position until the drag has finished. The "Translate" button on the toolbar activates the translation manipulator, which makes this a bit easier until it is properly fixed. Under investigation.

* Quite a lot of models and geometry show up as "shader not found" in the preview even though they work in game. Under investigation.

* There is not yet a model selector, so don't bother looking for one. You add a model by adding a func_static entity and selecting a LWO/ASE file in the filestructure. The addition of a proper model selector with preview is a priority for the 0.6 release.

Dynamic Link Library MSVCR71.dll could not be found in the specified path, c:\program files\darkradiant, or something similar? That's what I get when I try it under windows 2000.

 

I downloaded the dll and DarkRadiant starts to load, but then I get a message that the .exe has caused an error and needs to be restarted. I'm told that a log is being generated, but where do I find that log?

 

Oh for heavens sake. I can't uplaod a .log file? I'm just going to paste the whole thing in.

Processing .xlink file 'C:/Program Files/DarkRadiant/global.xlink'

[OrbWeaver]

The global.xlink is an XML file containing what appears to be web links to GtkRadiant resources. This looks like some kind of binary incompatibility - maybe the version of libxml2.dll that I provided in the installer only works on Windows XP.

 

I can remove the global.xlink as we are not using it, but we do need libxml2 for the entity categories.

Yeah, I just removed it and Dark Radiant starts up now. Still needed that dll though.

[OrbWeaver]

Yeah, I just removed it and Dark Radiant starts up now. Still needed that dll though.

 

I was hoping that was the case, there is some ghastly spaghetti code in the xlink processing bit, which my EntityInspector code does not attempt to imitate. I'll get rid of the function and file altogether.

 

I'm not sure what to do about msvcrt71.dll, we could just tell Win2k users to download it, or we could package it in the installer assuming it is legal to do so.

[ascottk]

Yay! DR works now after removing the global.xlink file. As for the msvcrt71.dll, I've had it it my system directory for a while now. Time to check it out . . .

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do about that. Seems to be legal enough though, the file is available free for download.

[ascottk]

Another option is to give a URL for the download in the installer.

* Changing a property on an entity (such as the colour of a light) does not update the "Map modified" property, so you can't save until you have changed something else (to be fixed in next point release).

 

This is now fixed in trunk, ready for next release.

[OrbWeaver]

* Quite a lot of models and geometry show up as "shader not found" in the preview even though they work in game. Under investigation.

 

One cause of this problem has been identified (it may not be the only one). DarkRadiant is incorrectly attempting to use the *MATERIAL_NAME rather than *BITMAP to identify the Doom 3 shader to use for an ASE model. As a temporary workaround you can make an ASE model render correctly by editing the *MATERIAL_NAME to specify the Doom 3 shader.

[OrbWeaver]

ASE model/shader not found issue now fixed in trunk. Trees are textured correctly in tavern.map.

[New Horizon]

Bug:

 

ambientlightnfo and ambientlight_nofall do not render in the darkradiant preview. Everything is completely black.

[OrbWeaver]

Bug:

 

ambientlightnfo and ambientlight_nofall do not render in the darkradiant preview. Everything is completely black.

 

Funny, I was just thinking about posting this bug yesterday. In fact the preview window completely ignores light textures as far as I can tell, and assumes a simple spherical falloff in all cases.

[OrbWeaver]

* Dragging static meshes does not update the position until the drag has finished. The "Translate" button on the toolbar activates the translation manipulator, which makes this a bit easier until it is properly fixed. Under investigation.

 

Fixed upstream in GtkRadiant, merged into trunk.
