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

}
}
}

}
}

 

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

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.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
