Problem With Modelpreview And Skin Chooser [closed]

[angua]

If I open the model preview (even if I don't choose a model), after closing the widget, darkradiant looks like this:

 

camera and xy views are grey, but the map is still there and I can still save or use the entity inspector.

 

The skin chooser doesn't work too. In the entity inspector, I can add the property "skin", but when I want to select a skin by clicking on ..., darkradiant crashes to desktop.

That's almost certainly a run-time environment issue, i.e. problem with GL or GTK installation on Windows. Didn't you have a problem like this before, which was caused by having an incorrect version of one of the DLLs?

I reinstalled the whole thing and it's working now.

Oh well...

I get a crash with the skin chooser (DR 0.8) . I removed all of the old install & I don't get a log about the crash.

What steps does it require to produce this crash? Did you just open it? Did you choose a skin via the Modelselector or via the Entity Inspector?

Entity Inspector through a model.

Reproducible on my system. I'll open a bug and will start looking into it.

 

edit: found the problem, fix is in progress.

Fixed on latest SVN (trunk & overlay_plugin branch). The GlobalModelSkinCacheModuleRef inheritance was missing in SkinChooser.h

 

Edit: I discovered another issue, maybe this is reproducible on your system as well, Orbweaver? I described how to reproduce the problem in the Bugtracker (maze1.map, try to give the AI in the upper left corner a skin).

 

edit2: I seem to be stuck. I left a note on the bugtracker where this error occurs. Maybe you could look into it, Orbweaver?

The crash is now fixed, however the skin chooser does not work for AI (no model is displayed). This is because the model and skin handling for DEF-based entities rather than static meshes is different, and would require special handling.
