Update to version 1.03
The most important feature of this update is the image overlay. You can load an image and it is blended with the 2D-view, so you can work now work with an image as templates, when creating a terrain.
The overlay uses the alphachannel to blend the 2D-view. The disadvantage: The image must have an alphachannel. The advantage is, that you are very flexibel, in how the overlay looks like.
Further on the update is mostly a bug fix with some smaller improvements. You find the complete list of changings at the end of this newsletter.
Download the update from
www.cajomi.de/Download/GeoControl_Update1.03.exe (http://www.cajomi.de/Downlaod/GeoControl_Update1.03.exe)
Relaunch of the website
We are nearly done. May be one or two weeks!
Mac version
I am sorry, the Mac-version developement is paused. The compiler, the software, I use, to create GeoControl, is yet not able to compile on and for intel-pcs. The developers have not fixed a date, when the new release will be available and so I am also not able to say a date for the Mac version.
But all great changes in the code to make it ready for the Mac compilation are done. So, the release will be soon after the compiler release.
Complete list of changings in version 1.02 and 1.03
Improvements 1.02 ( only on DVD in "Digital Production")
Overlay-image-funktion added
added r16 import (use the raw 16bit )
When opening a project now the statur bar shows more, of what is actual done
Swedish GUI (Thanks to Peter Kind!)
A bit work on the GUI, so that other lanuages are shown better (with fitting text)
The save chanings confirmation dialog when closing now only appears, if something was changed after the last saving.
Bugfixes 1.02
"Save project" now works
"Save Project as": If there were other files in the projetfolder, they are no more deleted.
"Load Projectpresets": After "cancel" the panels were disabled and GeoControl needed to be restarted.
"Add Projektpreset" causes an error-message.
"Add Terrainpreset" did not work at all, because of an mistake in the language files.
Projectlayer - Values could be smaller than 0 and greater than 1, which causes errors when exporting the terrain.
Splashscreen could frooze GeoControl.
Terrainsize was not adjusted, when importing a terrain.
Improvements 1.03
Added new color schemes.
The user can add own color schemes.
Added " Dunes" Terrainpreset, you find it in the "Hills" terrain presets category.
Bugfixes 1.03
Error after opening a project and switch to terrain panel.
After switching from the project to the terrain panel, changing the brushsize caused an error message, when the selected layer was not the last.
"Protect Terrain" now can be set to the acutal size of the terrain, so there is no more loose of details when encreasing the size and increasing the size now also works.
When iImporting a Ter, raw or r32 Dateien, the terrainsize was not set.
When using the brush, the overlay image was not displayed correctly.
Cut now also cuts the overlay image.
The overlay image is now resized, when the terrain size changes..
