Soldat PolyWorks 1.5.0.13

[As de Espada]

I think it would be usefull, one would make poly, other colloring and scenery etc

I think it would be usefull, one would make poly, other colloring and scenery etc

But it's a bad idea to work on shading and sceneries if polygons aren't finished, etc. And if they are finished - there already is a way to have others work on the same map:
You can import/export stuff, so for example when "main" mapper finishes the polygon part - he can send the polygon part to other people. One would work on sceneries, another one on waypoints, etc. Then they can export waypoints, sceneries and polys and merge them all into one thing. It's not hard at all, and coding a whole network system for polyworks won't really improve anything and isn't worth the time and effort. And like I said - more than one person working on a map at the same time is uncommon.

Also, when it comes to sceneries and shading - every mapper has his own artistic point of view and different understanding of what looks good or bad. Soldat map is something that should be done by one person, and only use more people for minor adjustments, testing and sometimes waypointing.

Again, that depends on cooperation, or if all else just plain screwing around.

Option to earn some extra money so that you can choose a location and there will automatically divide the scenery. There will be automatically created a folder called maps of what you're doing.

Wait...

What? o.O

"Option to earn some extra money" if your talking about RPG like games, thats scripted.. Not a feature of the map itself.

Some kind of bug solving: If you receive several errors after using the installer for vista versions, like errors reading the .ini or colors or whatever, try uninstall and reinstall. Don't know why, but it somehow fucked up something in my polyworks folder. Just to let you know... =)

Happy to be able to try out those fancy new polys

Polygon copying was easier before. Just select the s**t and paste with CTRL+V. It also placed the copied polygon(s) next to the last copy, which made grid-copypasting easier.

Now: Not only that you need to CTRL+C first, now you need to drag it from the original copy spot to the spot you want.
It would be okay if the copy would be always placed on the middle of the screen no matter where you are.

I still suggest you put it back like it was in earlier versions.

Uh, the main purpose of new way of copying is not to make it use more hotkeys - it is to allow copying objects from one map to another without using prefabs.
The old Ctrl+V wasn't actually copy/paste - it was dublicate. It just creates a copy of whatever you have selected, so if you select something different - you won't be able to paste what you had selected before.

Both copy/paste and dublicate are very useful, they just need some small changes in the way they work.

suggestion: separate default texture from the others
(like happens to the scenerys)

@smiluu: As I said in one of my previous posts I'm going to change how copy/paste/duplicate works into something similar to what you described. Right now though I'm kinda busy with school so it might take some time to finish.

When I open the PW 1.5.0.6:

When I open the PW 1.5.0.6:

DX is being a dick on your system.. Its Windows XP with the Zune theme eh?

Re-install DX and re-install Polyworks.. Should do the trick

New update - v1.5.0.7

Changes:
- added mouse position label in status bar
- fixed a small copy/paste bug
- added right click menu on selection tools
- changed keyboard shortcuts deselect (escape) and duplicate (ctrl+d)
- fixed the cutting of file names in recent files menu
- selecting a single collider now gets its radius

good to see that this is still going

one day the online version will come out
other good thing about online version is that's eazyer to teach other mappers, or to show something that you liked/disliked in their maps. finally, gives you much more motivation knowing that there's other people working with you

Thanks for the svn. I find that to be very e-hipster of you. All the cool kids use svn. And then all the "cool kids" are stupid and realize that it's.. uncompiled? ok, noob admital being made... Now.

Not sure if this has been suggested already, but I think it would be nice if PW can copy the scenery/texture files of the current map into a given location. Would be good instead of having to pick them out of the soldat folder

Yeah, it would be nice, but not high priority since there already is a decent app for that: http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=8661.0

And this app, but I never tested it and it seems to be rather old: http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=14081.0

I have one very annoying problem.
I have tried Installing version of PW and binary files version. Reinstalled couple times but still fails.
When I load map (A), then load another map (B) then I get Same Texture from map (A) and when saving it changes texture for map (B)

Fix?
