3.1.10

[Drake7707]

• 3.1.10
  • made PicToMap form a bit larger, changed "Browse" to "Browse..."
    
  • added IsBusy during pictomap and resize operations
    
  • Fixed issue with displaying big log files
    
  • No more crash when opening a map by double-clicking it while DCME is minimized. Plus, the focus is given to DCME correctly
    
  • drawing of special objects fixed
    
  • fixed resizing during testmap would cause the last row/column of tiles to glitch
    
  • added button to toggle top/bottom alignment of map tabs
    
  • fixed applyselection that dropped all tiles regardless of if it should
    
  • force lvz transparency option (not only moving)
    
  • Changed some more minor autosave stuff
    
  • un!@#$%^&*led maps do not get autosaved to avoid having hundreds of empty levels in the autosaves folder. Plus, the countdown is reseted when the map is saved. Also removed the copy of the log file that was done with every map... wasn't very useful
    
  • MsInet 'Request Timed Out' error is now handled
    
  • Fixed crash when zooming out in tile editor
    

now jump around like a happy bunny

fixed applyselection that dropped all tiles regardless of if it should

Note that this one isn't included yet... Fix for this should be available soon

I cleaned up the latest build thread... we had 2 replies of changes, merged that correctly, and I added some stuff in the suggestions/todo post

[Drake7707]

the fix for applyselection is included (that was the shouldbedropped i forgot)

 

There is a similar bug however when removing a part of a selection, that doesn't check that and that isn't up yet

[Russky]

I think my glitch was fixed too, thank you!

This new update fixed an update glitch for me in Vista.

That was it, right? Totally and very fixed, indeed

 

This new update fixed an update glitch for me in Vista.

What was it exactly? I don't recall volonteerly fixing such a bug ô.o

[RiiStar]

Every time i close DCME in vista it brings up a Windows Error saying the program stopped responding...

Gonna update to this version and see if that stops.

 

Edit: Still same thing when DCME closes.

 

If i goto Edit > Preferences i get Error 339: MSCOMCT2.OCX isn't registered properly

But i think this happens with alot of older stuff with Vista. Havn't looked for a fix.

When I double click a .lvl file it sometimes stops responding when it opens it!

That OCX must be the UpDown control we use to set the autosave delay... We should just make a custom control to replace it, it would remove that dependency. Same for the Update form's progress bar, we should just make a custom one... Just having that control in our project adds a not-so-needed dependency too.

Plus if we want to add progressbars to some operations that can take a while (save, open, switch/replace, picturetomap...), we'll have more freedom with a custom-made progressbar

 

Can you even register these kind of files with Vista?

[Drake7707]

progress bar is part of vb6 runtime components, as is tabs and listview. And the latter we use pretty frequently.

 

Have you tried running the DCME setup ?

[RiiStar]

Acutally no i havnt Drake.

I will try that.

 

It seems to be something to do with vb6 and vista.

Happens with anything made using these related files...

 

Im gonna research into what others have done to register these files with vista.

I think i tried once to register these files manually to no apparent avail.

 

----------

Edit: Used the setup, same problems still, both the Preferences one and

when DCME shuts down (it closes but windows thinks something is wrong and says its unresponsive)

I also autoupdated...

Yeah, I mentioned the shutting down error thing in the last update. It's nothing big, since everything still works & saves, it's just when closing the program you get a message saying "Drake Continuum Map Editor has stopped working" etc. 'close program'. But I don't have Riistar's 2nd problem.

 

(oh, and I'm running Vista also)

Hmmm I wonder... When we close DCME, we Unload the general form, then we 'End' just to make sure everything unloads... But 'End' is like killing the process, so maybe Vista sees this as an 'anormal' ending...
