Soldat PolyWorks v1.4.0.17 with source code

[Dolfo]

This is by FAR the best MapMaker out there, even though I don't make maps I'd really LOVE it if MM made all his maps from scratch with this, the detail is beautiful.

@Windows Vista users: If you're getting an error that says one of the components is missing or invalid, you can try registering it like this:

Make sure you have administrative rights.
Go to C:\windows\system32, right click cmd.exe, and click "Run As Administrator."
Type in regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx (or whatever the name of the files is).


edit: With version 1.4.0.16, if you get the error that says:

Direct3D initialization failed
Error creating Direct3D objects
ActiveX component can't create object

do the above procedure with the dx8vb.dll file (search for and download it if it doesn't exist on your computer).

Thanks to Dro on IRC for working with me to fix this.

Also, users running Vista may experience redraw problems with the Depth Map, Colour Vertices, and selection tools, causing your mouse to leave a choppy black trail. To fix this, you need to disable Desktop Composition for Soldat PolyWorks. Right-click on the application, select the properties, go to the Compatibility tab, and then check "Disable Desktop Composition". Just hit apply and you at this point you should be good to go.

what does skecth tool do?

In theory it would let you sketch a map so you can create some ideas then align the polygons to your sketch. Unfortunately, there isn't much options for the sketch tool to make it useful, and it crashes when used after a few seconds. Try to avoid using it, as it's better and safer to sketch and load a compatible image file from some outside paint program.

Hello
I got problem ;/



What i need to do ?

[Magic Odd Effect]

Sorry for another problem, but...

The Display panel went missing, and I can't find it...

It's kind of stupid, but I'm serious about this. The Display panel is G-O-N-E GONE.

Should I reinstall?

Found a bug: When I try to open the newest version of PolyWorks, I get an error message that says, "Error Loading; Error Setting Directories; Bad File Name or Number."  Meanwhile, all that loads is a black background with green borders and sparse text on the bottom, the entire program doesn't respond to anything and cannot be closed except by using the Task Manager.

Coincidentally, I only downloaded the new version because 1.4.0.10 freaked out whenever I attempted to open a particular map of mine.

I think this is because I forgot to clear my settings from the polyworks.ini before I uploaded it
You can try redownloading it (make sure it's not cached) or change the first line in the ini to your Soldat directory and clear the next two lines.

Thanks, that worked.  However, my original problem is still there.  When I try to open this map, I get the error "Error rendering in Direct3D," and under that error is either "D3DERR_INVALID CALL" or "Unknown."

For some reason half the scenery list in that map is blank, and PW wasn't handling it properly. It'll be fixed for the next version. Here's the fixed version of ctf_Mineshaft.
