Itches, Glitches & Anything Else...


Recommended Posts

I'm getting random crashes to desktop when cloning patches. It doesn't always happen either, which is kinda annoying so I have to save before every single clone operation.

 

Also after I create a bevel, I hit Ctrl+S to bring up the Patch Inspector window and everything is greyed out until I deselect the patch and reslect it.

I'm cleaning the SVN solution and recompiling, maybe the issue with crashing after cloning patches will go away.

I ran the editor from VS2008, I got this stack error:

EDIT: I tried debug mode, just got this that's different:

Interesting, because there's an implicit deselect when cloning. And I've been getting unpredictable crashes when deselecting patches.

 

Looks like Greebo fixed the random crash bug when cloning patches, at least it's marked as resolved.

EDIT: And the other bug report is also fixed.

 

Either recompile or wait for the snapshot builds.

May be a glitch with setting mod fs game in prefs. I kept setting it but on exit and relaunch it was gone. Yet I remembered doing it yesterday successfully. Then I set it, OK, then I checked back in prefs before exiting. It was still there. Exit, relaunch. Now it's there OK. But I'm wondering if it will 'stick' because I haven't changed it since yesterday when it worked.

 

I can get round it with a custom shortcut but I have several of those for FMs I'm working on regularly but temporary ones I don't bother.

No, it disappeared again after one short session. Now it won't even 'stick' at all. If I enter 'patently_dangerous' then click OK. Then go back to prefs - it's gone. I'll add this to tracker if someone can confirm.

 

btw this is V1 64-bit but the version just before the release.

DR 1.0 64 bit. Imported startmap and tried to move it but there's a lot of debris left behind and some of it seems scattered and moves in other ways. I think this might be known but thought I'd just post it. How did Goldchocobo merge his maps together I wonder? Maybe they didn't need moving.

This sounds like an issue I fixed already - I just tried to import startmap.map and move the stuff around right after import (when it's still highlighted), everything went along.

I'm just too lazy to update. Also I need to look up that fix for disabling text input on target and others; it hangs badly. I think I had to do a clean install sometime and lost that. It seems to me a lot of people won't know about that. Still, nobody's complaining.

At some stage recently the colors in grid view have changed I think in my install. So I'm seeing AI, moveables, and the selected item, all the same bright red. So I cannot tell which item is selected (see image.) How do I change the color of the AI and the moveables? Done this before long ago but don't know where to start looking.

The entity colour is defined by the "editor_color" spawnargs in the def files. And there's one "Entity (default)" colour setting in the Colour Scheme Editor.

Thanks. Maybe a glitch but unsure if it's local to my setup. An internal search for editor_color through all the def folder finds none of the ai def files listed except the rat and steambot lantern. So I'd expect most AI to be the default. In my color scheme I have magenta set for default entities. The other color schemes have a bright orange which may be what I'm seeing in grid view. If I change that in say the default color scheme it has no effect on the AI color so that must be defined elsewhere but I can't find it.

 

Similarly, the moveable barrel is also this bright orange. No editor_color set in its def or where it inherited from.

 

If I change the 'selected brush' it has no effect on the color of the selected brush which remains bright orange.

 

Anybody else seeing the above?

OK, as a workaround I can change to bright yellow for the selector (btw that 'selected brush' should read 'selection' or 'selected item' as it seems to affect everything. But it is still strange that I can't find the editor_color for AI and moveable barrels (or even why moveable barrels are so special. ;))

What do think, is it a good idea to set it in our own moveable barrel to override that? For instance to be like other moveables? Then only AI are bright red orange. I'd rather tone that down so our default bright red orange (slightly different shade I think) does not confuse. Can anyone else spot the selected item in my screenshot?

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
