DR ignores .game file settings

[motorsep]

So I decided to replace _default material with caulk and change material folder from "materials" to "materials_v1".

 

.game file has those fields and I assumed that DR uses those dynamically. However, changing those setting yields no results. When new brush is created, it still gets _default material assigned and all materials are read from base/materials/ regardless what folder name I use in the .game file settings.

 

Is my assumption, that DR has all those things hard coded, correct? Thank you.

I created a *.game file and DR doesn't ignore it. maybe some values are hard-coded?

Right. Stuff like what folder it uses materials from, default shader and all that. All that is hard coded for reasons unknown to me :/ I'd like to have caulk as default shader. So that every brush I make new has caulk material. It's impossible :/

It seems the reason for DarkRadiant ignoring these settings is that multiple .game files are present in the games/ folder. All of these are loaded into the internal registry, and since many of the code sections haven't been updated to use the GlobalGameManager() interface it always takes the first value found in the list when searching for a particular settings.

 

The quick workaround is to remove all other .game files but your desired one, the long fix is to update the code sections which are referring to game/ paths in the registry.

The changeset https://github.com/orbweaver/DarkRadiant/commit/255b88f0a666ed986e54413495834a658da350ac should fix this issue above and the settings in the active .game file should be respected.

\o/ thanks. One question though - could you please compile 1.8.1 test build for 64bit Windows (I can compile 32bit here since it's VS2010 compatible) ? Thanks beforehand.

It's here: http://www.dramthethief.com/darkmod/darkradiant/darkradiant-1.8.1pre1-x64.exe

[motorsep]

Will be testing, thanks

 

EDIT: After installing got error: "libxml2-d-vc110.dll" is missing from your computer. Reinstall program to fix." :/ Same for glib-d-vc110.dll, gobject-d-vc110, libsigc++-d-vc110, gdkglextmm-d-vc110 DLLs. Is it like a debug build or something? Cos I see some of those DLLs in 1.8.0 official release, but without -d- in the file names.

 

Oh, weird.. 1.8.0 official release has -v100.dlls, not -vc110.dlls

 

EDIT2: I installed VS2012 x64 redist, still no luck - it won't run, can't find those DLLs

Yup, I've been using VS2012, this here should be a 2010 build: http://www.dramtheth...8.1pre1-x64.exe

[motorsep]

Thanks a bunch! That one worked. I tested custom materials/ folder, World size, and custom default shader - all working now. Great job!

 

I tried compiling 32bit version with MSVC2010Express, and unlike 1.7.4pre (before I was officially released as 1.8.0) it fails building. Here is what I get:

Any idea why?

[greebo]

I fixed this one yesterday, so you probably just need to pull the latest changes.

[motorsep]

Oh, didn't see the update. Updated, compiled 32bit on VS2010Express. Thanks!

 

If anyone needs Win32bit build: https://drive.google.com/#folders/0BwE6dxM0O2PsSUREOEZvNFFQUUk

 

Btw, still can't build 64bit on MSVC2010Express :/
