GeoControl Build 23 /final pre-release

[cajomi]

Hello,

have just uploaded build 23. This is mostly a bugfix.


Fixed the controls for the general forming filters, should now all work as expected.

Fixed a problem with pw and generate. Generate did not contain the pw filter of all levels before the last.

Fixed the problems when deleting a pw filter or a selection.

Fixed problems with 3d view, when selections for shading were used, which were smaller than the final size.

Fixed the selection list problems in the filter and pw filter panel. The list pops up now beside the panel and all selections are selectable.

Fixed: Numerical entrys in the strings fields for the filter values did not work.

Fixed the problems with the second height slider for isolines.

Some minor bug fixes.

Changed:
In the sliders text now the possible values for the sliders are shown.
Sliders at all now work better.

Added:

3D view: option for 1/2 and 1/4 quality. Makes it possible to see the changes when a isoline height is readjusted in realtime 3D. First small step for the planned preview window.

"Auto" for isolines. This only works with "absolute" modus for isolines. With "auto" enabled, the height is taken from the terrain and so is not set with the slider. This is useful in many situations.

When i try to load a terrain settings (built with build 23), seems like GC2 has done nothing. Only after i've clicked Generate button i've discovered that terrain setting has loaded. If i remember, until build 22 GC2 turned into 2D view after that a .gts file was been loaded. Maybe, a message that inform of succesfully loaded terrain setting could be useful.

I had in an earlyer version an autogenerate, after a terrainsettings was loaded. But that has the disavantage, that even a great terrain with many filters load. May be, you know the preset and want to change some things before generating?

So a terrainsetting now loads all control values. To see something, look into the filterlists or push generate. That is the way it should be.

[mauronen]

Yes, i've observed it; but when GC2 save a terrain settings, into status bar appear a message Saving done. Maybe, a message Loading done could be useful, don't you?

[cajomi]

Yes, would not be wrong!

It's getting better all the time!
I particularly like the recent realtime enhancements- OK, it's a compromise, but it's a very good compromise I think. I'm looking forward to the preview window :)

Do you have disabled Image Export / Colour?

[cajomi]

Ups, looks so....
Have to be fixed.

EEk, for some reason I'm no longer getting notifications of new releases. I'm a little behind here. Great to hear you're close to final release. :)

[cajomi]

Hi Kaythe,

the notifications are send to the email adress you have filled in here in the forum.
Sometimes providers are great in protection and filter even important emails. May be that is the reason.
If you do not found any reason there, please send me a mail and the problem will be solved another way.

Btw, not close to final release, but close to pre-release.

I have defined the final release so, that all really needed featues for game developing, film productions or arch viz are included.
Seamless tiling, handdrawn selections and a pw-brush will be missing in the pr-release.

Thanks for the suggestion. It would be ironic as my ISP seems to allow every piece of junk and spam into my mailbox but I've altered the email address anyway to see if I can go back to keeping informed.
