DarkRadiant 2.0.3 released


Recommended Posts

DarkRadiant 2.0.3 is ready for use. This is a bugifx/stabilisation release, people should stop using the 2.0.2 version (or older). There might still be some glitches hidden in this one, but it's still far better than 2.0.2.

Please refer to the github Release Page for downloading a Windows build: https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/tag/2.0.3

Thanks go out to all the pre-release testers!

Moved from the pre-release thread -

 

Bugs

  1. the lines/arrow to any targeted entity disappear in the orthoview window if said entity is not visible - this is a bad bug.
  2. manipulating a model in prefab inspector needs 'always on' free view mode as per 181, currently have to click once to select and click again to release.
  3. prefab inspector is rotating models off-axis compared to 181
  4. animation controls available in the prefab inspector.
  5. scroll movement increments too large in prefab inspector compared to 181.
  6. layers window position not remembered - nuking the prefs file and restarting DR a few times, fixes it but only after a lot of restarts of DR.
  7. entity inspector window divider position not being remembered - the abo
  8. when resizing brushes from the sides, said brushes keep snapping back to original location/size. Holding the LMB for 0.5 - 1 second longer is the work around

Request

  1. Cant create/save custom prefab paths as per DR181, so have to browse to the custom prefab folder every time.
  2. scrolling through model/entity/textures inspectors is still a tad too fast.

Wishlist

  1. have snapshots ticked by default and the autosave interval set to 15mins, in the save section in the prefs.
  2. camera movement speed far to high by default, suggest lowering to 33
  3. have freelook mode unticked by default.

[feature request]

 

Is it possible at all to work with prefabs in the following manner: a prefab would be made in a separate .map file. It can be piece of a level, some building, etc. When imported into "final" map, it would be selected as one entity (so it would be easier to manage scene). If prefab's .map was updated, that prefab would automatically updated in the "final" scene/map .

 

This would allow working on individual components and then assemble/compose final release map from such pieces. Also would be easier collaborate as folks can just work on individual pieces without disturbing final map. Also useful for modular mapping.

 

I know they did it for Prey 2 in Preditor, when Prey 2 was in works using id Tech 4.

 

Is it something achievable in DR and relatively easy to implement?

Happy new year everyone!

 

Coming from 2.0.2 (23.08.2015) the new 2.0.3 version startup DR three time faster on my PC. dmap takes at least half the time as it did before for the same map. Don't know if this is connected to the new DR built. 2.0.3. seam to be a huge improvement to the former version. No crash on my system so far (Win10).

Ok so bad news got my first DR 2.03 crash and it happened un-expectantly like pre5 did. Dump file below.

 

- mega

 

The crashdump you sent me doesn't match the 2.0.3 release version from December 30th. In fact it matches the 2.0.3pre6 pre-release build, so you might want to double-check your DR installation.

 

I still can open the dump using the older PDBs I've got backed up, so I'll see what I can extract from the crashdump.

I can see that the crash is happening while you hit the ESC key during a mouse operation. This is not a problem at all in itself, but perhaps there is some sort of event race going on. Can you recall what kind of operation you performed during that moment?

Regardless what you did, the program should never crash. I'm still trying to figure how the situation I'm seeing in the crashdump came to be. Looking at the code I would have thought that this is not possible at all, but obviously it can happen.

 

When you tried to deselect stuff using ESC, did you use the mouse at the same time? Or were you just hitting the ESC key without doing anything else?

Hi all, think I'm having a bit of a rendering issue with this version of Darkradiant. After a certain distance in camera view, things start disappearing. I don't remember this happening in 2.0.1, which is what I was using previously. Is this a bug? Is there any way to easily fix this?

 

[Edit]: Nevermind, found the issue. "Enable far-clip plane" was checked by default, I've now managed to turn it off. Derp.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
