Just updated my DR to 3.0.0, and began aligning my textures, when I noticed that it stepped from whole numbers, to very slightly off numbers, like for example:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3.0000000000000004 - 4 - 5 - 6.000000000000001 - 7.000000000000001 - 8.
These numbers are consistent when using both the horizontal and vertical shift buttons. Even when I try to manually type in "6", it adjusts it to "6.000000000000001".

I'm afraid to texture things now, because I want textures to be in whole numbers.

...and it's consistent too: I just started a whole new map, and made a single brush, and no texture, and it still steps in these increments. :S

It's just the representation in the editor. The map file itself is identical.

2.14:

Version 2
// entity 0
{
"classname" "worldspawn"
// primitive 0
{
brushDef3
{
( 0 0 1 -64 ) ( ( 0.0625 0 0 ) ( 0 0.0625 0 ) ) "_default" 0 0 0
( 0 1 0 -7.5 ) ( ( 0.0625 0 0 ) ( 0 0.0625 0 ) ) "_default" 0 0 0
( 1 0 0 -7.5 ) ( ( 0.0625 0 0 ) ( 0 0.0625 0 ) ) "_default" 0 0 0
( 0 0 -1 -64 ) ( ( 0.0625 0 0 ) ( 0 0.0625 0 ) ) "_default" 0 0 0
( 0 -1 0 -8 ) ( ( 0.0625 0 0 ) ( 0 0.0625 0 ) ) "_default" 0 0 0

}
}
}

}
}

 

No extra 0's with a 1 on the end.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Oh. So it's just "extra precision" then. ...but without actually having extra precision. It's still a bug, but not as disastrous as I thought.

No harmful behaviour here, it's just a formatting issue, the underlying value doesn't differ.

The difference between 2.14 and 3.0 is the fmtlib version DR is using. It appears that the fmtlib update to version 8.1.1 introduced a change in formatting behaviour when omitting the format specifier. Explicitly setting the format specifier to "g" removes the rounding of the rightmost digits:

fmt::format("{0:g}", value)

And @Nort, I'd appreciate you editing your status update to clarify the situation, to not needlessly get people scared about map corruption.

Sure. I'll do that. Just understand that I was actually pretty scared there for a moment.

Since this bug also affects the rotation step value, you actually lose the ability to enter such a value completely, and have to rely on direct input, or only rotate in 90 degrees, in order to rotate textures.

Hopefully solving this, will also solve the nasty effects I sometimes get when I use "Fit" with certain values, and the texture just becomes some kind of smear.

      Starting a playthrough of the whole Dark Mod, from oldest mission to newest. I've knocked over the first few already and about to start Living Expenses. Only ~170 missions to go!

      I'm back! Happy new years, TDM folks!
      I brought with me a quick update for my first FM that fixes up a lot of small issues that didn't get caught in beta testing. I didn't exactly expect it to take me nearly 9 months to release a patch, but it's been a wild year to say the least. Teaching, finishing up my Master's of Education, and all manner of other events forced me to drop out of the anniversary FM contest and ate up all my time, but I'm back again in a comfortable position to start catching up on all the new FMs. I may even start work on another spooky project of greater length and difficulty in the coming year.
      Thanks again for the warm welcome to the community and have a happy new year!

      I got myself the apple tv trial subscription. I have to say, “Foundation” (season 1) is very exciting. Shall I read the books as well?
