It must be pretty tiresome to write the script parser for that, I mean which other language is using whitespace as syntax?

 

Don't know about the parser. Should be simple enough. Instead of keeping a counter for the indentation leevl, you just count the whitespaces in front of a statement. Should be simple enough. But it's IMO quite cumbersome for the developers. For small procedures it's quite good, but for bigger programs, I alwas run into problems and you need an editor that knows about that. If you try to edit with a normal editor you easily get into problems as Orb mentioned.

You mean: Language 2.0? :D

...?

I'm not sure why you felt the need. Your misplaced reference puzzles me, sir!

Excellent, yet another victim of the Incredible Reference Misplacer, my plans are working out, har har. Fear my posts!

 

Ok, let's just forget my statement before it gets even more embarrassing...

For some bizarre reason on Linux, about 9 times out of 10 the splash screen shows up as a correctly-sized but empty grey box, without the image. I have investigated with GDB and it seems that the process_gui() line which runs the gtk_main loop is completing, but only an empty window is displayed. Strange.

Any ETA on a new snapshot? No rush, especially if there are blocking issues. I only ask because the last is a couple weeks old, and it's best not to verify and track against an outdated build. Also there has been some discussion (Sorry, I'm a bit behind ATM! :wacko:) of crash issues, and new libraries required, and I wasn't sure what the current state of things is.

I'm about to finish another step of refactoring, so if you're feeling adventurous, I can give you another snapshot tonight or so (i.e. in a few hours).

 

There will be need for some ogg/vorbis/openAL DLLs, but I will package that along with the snapshot.

I guess this might fit here as long as you're talkin splash screens.

 

Do we have any plans of updating/correcting the current splash? The hour hand on the clock says it should be about 11:50, but the minute hand is at 20 minutes.

You're talking about the splash screen of the main mod? This is probably the wrong place for this, but I've noticed it too. There's a forum called Main Menu & GUIs where this belongs.

I uploaded a new snapshot to the known location, link is also on the website.

Take your time. I won't be able to do much progress the next few days, I'm afraid. My last regular exam (the last before my final one) is due on June 6th.

 

Btw: I just removed the legacy Stack container from the libraries. :)

arg! I;ve had DR lock up three times in the last two days while viewing models and once when I reshaped a brush so that it disappeared. The model viewer lock ups occur either while browsing models, or right when the viewer opens.

 

Also sometimes when you use the copy texture you and paste texture, you have to copy it and paste it twice in order to paste the x,y,z,scale attributes.

Does this occur on a particular model? Is there a way for me to reproduce it?

 

Brushes will disappear if they get "degenerate", i.e. it has zero volume. DarkRadiant detects this and completely removes the brush from the map. Was this such a case? If yes, when exactly did it lock up, were you still holding down the mouse button?

 

Regarding the copy&paste texture needing two clicks: I never had that happen on me, could it be that you had some objects hidden and they might have interfered (invisible, but still catching MMB clicks)? That's a bug angua told me a while ago.

This happened to me yesterday too. I was going through all the models too see what was already available before posting on the models wanted thread. I can't recall the exact model it crashed on but I did remember it at the time and noted that when I reloaded DR and started again I skipped through to just before that and continued through it without problem. I eventually got half way through the Doom ones before I started skipping quickly to the end. It wouldn't surprise me if you start at the beginning and try to go through the lot... Haha!

 

BTW I note that it takes quite a while to open the list when first used and it hangs half way through for a few seconds. I just assumed that it was because the list is getting so huge. Maybe it could be broken into sub-lists so there could be divisions in the selector somehow? I don't know how the data is stored but if it were divided into min type-selectors? To the user it would not be much different (edit - any less convenient I mean) to selecting different parts of the tree. Dunno how that might work but just a vague thought..

@jdude: Which type of paste operation did you use? Ctrl-MMB or Shift-MMB? They are doing technically completely different things, that's why I have to know.

 

@jdude & Fidcal: Things happening randomly is not good - I hardly stand a chance of finding that problem. I hope that it happens to me one time so that I can track it down, otherwise I can't really do anything about such problems. It could be anything.

 

The ModelSelector can probably be changed to reload dynamically, I think the VFSTreePopulator can handle that.

 

Could you add these three issues to the bugtracker please?

Do you have Purify available? IOf something crashes randomly, it's usually either because of a thread synchonrization problem (which problably doesn't apply here), or it is a memory corruption somehwere (which I think more likely). Using Purify to analyze it might help in such cases.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      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.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
