Reflex Editor - Digital Earthworks v0.8.2.13 Release - with splines, water.....

[mcm2boys]

ok thnx, i understand it's the best you can do since the tab changes on you. Back to some more thinking..

[mcm2boys]

A couple more questions, again when you load the first track in DE:

- Are there any trees in the track - looks like an sx so i'm guessing not?

- If you have the Scene tab open, do the rollouts load and fill with data in there when the error message pops up?

- Does the terrain Tab have any of the tire model data in the rollout when the error message pops up - ds19 seems to show just 1?

Thanx for your patience..

[Monster704]

1) No, there are no trees in the track. (It was created before the eco system got introduced)
2) The scene tab will just stay plain white (in the scene settings area). Just the rotation and pitch of the sun shows up.
3) When I click through the radio buttons at the terrain area in the terrain tab, I can see the stock textures for each of the 4 bump maps. But in the bump models area just underneath I also just have the caterpillar bump model to load (just like ds19)

Thank you so much for your effort to help us out

[mcm2boys]

i think i'm nearly there now:

- if you click on the load bump model for the Caterpillar tracks does the file extension filter show 'Reflex surface(*.surface)' ?

- Does the text at the of the window say 'Digital Earthworks v0.8.2.17[NameOfYourTrack]' before the error message pops up?

[Monster704]

1) yes, the filter shows  'Reflex surface(*.surface)'
2) Do you mean the window of DE itself?

[mcm2boys]

Yes i mean the title of the DE window?

[Monster704]

Alright.
When I start DE it says 'Digital Earthworks v0.8.2.17'. When I load the track it stays the same and right when the error appears it changes to just 'Digital Earthworks' and stays like that when I click the pop up away.

[mcm2boys]

Great that tells me what i wanted to know..

[mcm2boys]

Ok, i've uploaded a new version in 1st post. It's a shot in the dark since i can't repro the error, however the fix is right in the place that it breaks for you guys and is related to where the error message says it breaks so fingers crossed - let me know how it goes..

[Monster704]

Oh my god..I can't thank you enough for this!! 
Everything seems to work now, I can create a new track or load existing ones.
Also all 4 bump models now show up.
I hope I can contact you again if anything goes wrong but I think we're good now.
Thank you!


Edit: So I just found another bug. As soon as I'm placing an object the object positioning controls disappear (the 3 elements with the green arrows to rotate and stuff).

[mcm2boys]

You should still be able to use the keyboard controls to move objects, but i'll take a look today and see if i can find what's wrong..

[Monster704]

I'm so used to the buttons, that I forgot about the keyboard controls.
I'm really sorry to annoy you again but ds19 just sent me a .surface file to test the bump models. Apparently they are not working. I tried all 4 options (tractor, sand rut, etc.), none of them seems to work.
The .surface file is ok as ds19 already used it in another track without problems.

[mcm2boys]

Just in time, i was about to release an update but if the bump models are not working then i can fix that 1st.

Can you send or link me to the surface file so i can use it in testing. Not sure how that broke, but i'd like to check it out.

..and you're not bugging me, i don't have a big test team to run DE until it breaks, and i have to choose to either spend time testin or coding (with some testing ) so i welcome all the feedback you can give me.. i can't promise to fix it all but it will go on the todo list if i can't..

[mcm2boys]

Hope you haven't found anything else, cos here is another update, object controls and bump models are working again..

..thanks for your help and patience hopefully this is the last of the major bugs..

Thanks everything works fine.. already loaded a few of my tracks in to check if everything was working correctly. I have to say that there were no problems. Also bump models work (also changing them ) so yea..

Thanks for all the "extra work" you put into this. now it's a AWESOME update for everyone.

[mcm2boys]

Thanks for letting me know and good to hear it is all working and your help (Monster704 too).

I think there are now a lot of possibilities with DE (helped along by JamieT's surface creator) maybe not everything - but most things are now possible so there shouldn't be too much getting in the way of all that track design creativity.


Like i said before this will probably be the last update for a while, so i wanted to just add these bits and pieces.

[Darkslides19]

i dont really wanna tell you but.. we (monster and me) got a problem..:

pretty sure you can fix that in a few mins tho

[mcm2boys]

back to the drawing board then..

[mcm2boys]

New version, fixed group objects and trees that also weren't working. Link in the 1st page - let me know if you find any other issues.

[Monster704]

You're a true hero
