Original Soldat PolyWorks Topic

[VirtualTT]

Is it possible to include simple archive download without installer?

^Konata says "Good Job"^

[xmRipper]

Great work. Thank you
I want to report a bug;

I'm getting this error after pressing "OK" on Preferences window.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit.



---

Preferences Window:

[zakath]

yeah it calles the reset window function so its basically the same bug as resizing the window.

[F4||3N]

It looks like you fixed the bug that happens when you minimize pw, and the toolboxes become separated from the actual app. gj

[DarkCrusade]

This is great, we can use .gif now without other extensions in Polyworks or am I wrong?

[The Geologist]

I've noticed one thing, and it's minor.

Every time I start the program, or minimize and then expand the program, the texture window pops up even though I did not check it.  I find myself closing it out every time, since I generally don't need it after picking a texture for a map.

Other than that, none of the other windows have this issue as far as I can tell.

Edit: Hmm..scratch that.  For some reason it's  not happening now.  I'm not sure what the deal is, but I'll try a few things out and let you know if I see it again.  If not, I was probably just seeing things late at night. 

[F4||3N]

There's still a bug  that makes random invisible squares, and when you touch it, you respawn. When you shoot it, it looks like it's a normal poly. And when you throw a grenade in it, the grenade disappears.

And when I add new polys anywhere on the map, the invisible squares sometimes dissapear. Or sometimes they move elsewhere.

On one of my maps, the thing took up half the screen.

I tried to make a demo of it. But I couldn't figure it out.


I get it on most of my maps.

[The Geologist]

Are you sure you're compiling the map properly?

I ask because I've taken a map that I started with an older version or Polyworks, worked on it in the new version and compiled it, and even added random new polys to try and test this.

Havn't been able to recreate it though.

Solution:
 1 select Poly selection tool
 2 click map at any copletely empty place
 3 regardless of logic you well select some polygon...
 4 press Delete
 5 repeat steps 2-4 untill clicking on empty space won't select anything

The  cause of this are *dot polygons*. If coordinates of all vertices of polygons are the same collision detection is getting screwed in the sector where Dot polygon is located.

New update - v1.5.0.1:

Changes:
- fixed error when switching to/from windowed mode
- moved help button a bit away from minimize button

[homerofgods]

Great! gj.  I use to hit that help button some times

[DarkCrusade]

I would like to see a scenery tool / option. You select any polygons or scenery, use the tool and save it into the scenery folder with background transparency. This would be awesome since you could downgrade the scenery objects rapidly AND you wouldn´t be just able to do scenery of the things that appear on one desktop.

The light tool should be upgraded. It should brighten the polygon sides that are going towards it and shade the ones that are behind the light just as if there was a real light source.

There should be also a upgrade for the polygon selecting tool. You should be able to hold the left mouse button and select everything that you roll over. Same for the vertice tool.

I did not got till now what the Depth Map tool is, include a better description in the help file if possible.

Maybe there should be a tool that is able to create specific objects. You open a menu in wich you can select which kind of geometrical shape you want to have, the size, color, color gradient and such things and then insert the object on a map.

You should be able to open more than one map at one time. In addition there should be a "Copy selection to clipboard" function so that you don´t need to do a prefab to export polygons and scenery from one map to an other.




I hope you might consider about taking some of my suggestions into your project, I ´d like to see some of this stuff in

Also add a function for the sketch tool that lets vertices snap to the edges of a sketch. This will make it a lot easier imo, but just consider this if there is nothing more important

I get a huge black streak across the screen that goes wherever my mouse goes when I'm using the color vertices tool.

Yeah that occurs on my other computer (vista) with the old polyworks version too, so i guess it's not a problem with the update. Looking into it anyways...

[VirtualTT]

It's possible to get rid of this - just check "Disable desktop composition" item in Polyworks.exe properties.
But you will get FPS drop and screen blinking instead.... -_-'

[Viral]

I didnt see invisible poly's frame, when I have got Wireframe "On".

[VirtualTT]

turn Polygons Off - you'll see the wireframe XD

[Viral]

No comment -.-

[Blacksheepboy]

Wew update! I honestly didn't notice until Suo posted the re-direct topic...
