3.3.0

[Samapico]

Ok... so what's new in there...

 

-You can now quickly add an image to the LVZ library by right-clicking in there (Deleting images can also be done)

-Double-clicking on a mapobject in the LVZ Manager will center the map on it

-The LVZ tool can now select and move lvz images correctly. When selected, you can change an image's properties in the toolbar.

-The default placement layer and mode now also work (drop down boxes below the LVZ library)

-All known crash sources in the LVZ manager are fixed

 

-The splash screen is shown during startup

-Updated the splash screen

-DCME checks for missing components (dll, ocx) during startup

 

 

I'm probably missing a !@#$%^&*load of other fixes... but that's the main stuff I'd say

 

 

Oh, and don't think I'm an !@#$%^&*hole if I didn't put you in the special thanks... I know I'm forgetting a lot of people in there... Didn't take too much time to fill this

[Sketter]

Impossible.

 

How did you manage to release this INFIDEL!?

 

Now my plans are RUINED!

 

 

 

Woo, another update.

 

EDIT :: Just joking with you.

 

EDIT2 :: After getting the update, DCME complains about not having comct332.ocx.

Could that be because you don't have comct332.ocx?

 

 

3.3.1 already, fixed the splash screen thing

[Samapico]

And wow... that many people downloaded it (and posted about it) already... after every release, I usually get the update myself, and notice a couple of bugs, and overwrite that update a few times before getting it right

But this time, I had to make it 3.3.1 already cause too many people had it :/

Woo, gj ^^

If all the ocx files are available with a permalink on dcme.sscentral, wouldn't it be easy if DCME downloads the required file (UrlDownloadToFile api) to %SYSTEM% and registers it with S!@#$%^&* regsvr32 %SYSTEM%\.....ocx ?

[Samapico]

Probably

Is there a way you can disable the prompts? Because I don't want to download stuff as useless as zlib.dll, just so that an already functional program does nothing with them except waste space on my computer.

My bad, it's not part of continuum.. however, bots and server software use it.

 

You use Vista? Maybe it's built-in or something. I dunno.

 

But it uses these while importing and exporting lvz files:

Private Declare Function compress Lib "zlib.dll" (dest As Any, destLen As Any, src As Any, ByVal srcLen As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function uncompress Lib "zlib.dll" (dest As Any, destLen As Any, src As Any, ByVal srcLen As Long) As Long

Which proves that the library is necessary Now if you need the file or not to have access to these library functions is another question, first time I encounter such thing.

 

Can't find anything about this on Google... hmm... it wouldn't surprise me if it had it as internal library or something, zlib is what the .zip format uses (and the .lvz as well). If Vista can do that without zlib, then I could add a condition there, but I'd like to know exactly why you don't need it first.

Oh, and you wasted more bandwidth complaining about it than if you had downloaded it And you probably have downloaded it already anyway, since it comes in the zip file.

 

The splash screen... hmm didn't think about these. I actually had to fix this same problem for other pop-ups.

And the thing in the LVZ manager, yeah I know about that, couldn't figure out why it wasn't working... Well I figured the problem, mostly, but no real solution. A workaround is when you click on the field and get the drop-down menu, check your taskbar there should be a new window with no name, click it, then you can choose something in the list...

 

Basically, we have to use a little trick to be able to pop such a menu that can be larger than its container. We use the exact same method to drop down the Regions list in the Region tool's toolbar. A normal drop-down list would not be visible past the toolbar's height. But that one works there :/

Anyway, now that the LVZ selector works, I think it more efficient to change them with it (in most cases).

 

 

Edit: just checked to be sure, I use XP and I do need zlib.dll; it doesn't crash, but the import process doesn't work at all.

[Hakaku]

Anyhow, senseless to argue about it; in the end I had been wrong as it wouldn't allow me to save a map using .lvz without the file (it could import though, just loses some information in the process). I suppose it's more important than I had thought, although I don't really use lvz, which would probably explain why I thought it useless

sounds like one of those people who's hard drive has less space then a compact disk.

Congratulations on being oblivious. Should I run Vista, I wouldn't have a hard drive of less than 700MB in space. It's just a matter of preference not to have useless files lying around.

 

Edit: (back on topic)

Opening up a second map seems to want to trigger the splash screen resulting in this error:

oh... right... forgot about that

 

Opening a second map from the explorer, I guess.

 

Gotta fix that...
