Soldat PolyWorks 1.5.0.13

Yes I have.
It doesn't matter if I "Open" or do "Open Compiled".

Why the fugg I can't see text written in windows?

[As de Espada]

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?

this happens because you don't have the texture of the map B. Polyworks loads the first texture it can, in that case, the texture of map A. If you try to open map B (that you don't have the texture) directly, as far as I rememeber, polyworks will load the 1st texture alphanumericaly (eg.: ananas.bmp)

It might be a slowpoke responce, but you are probably missing required fonts. Try changing them in colours.ini in the current skin folder (gfx by default) to
Font1=Lucida Console
Font2=Bank Gothic Light BT
Lucida Console and Bank Gothic Light BT are supposed to be provided along with pw.

I think I found a bug. When use the scenery tool, right click it, a list appears.
When you click the up or low arrow, the scenery selected changes, but the scenery that's on your mouse only changes to the new selected one when you move your mouse.

[As de Espada]

when you use ctrl+b (select colors), the "property window" should change to polygon

I can't seem to see any of the texts in the toolbars. This is what i get

[VirtualTT]

DerekTheHair: download latest PW version with installer.
1.4.17 is like 2 years outdated...

Works fine, it was probably just temporary.

New update - v1.5.0.8

Changes:
- added polygon bounciness option for the bouncy polygon type
- added counter for the amount of *different* sceneries in the map
- fixed movement of spawns/objects while zoomed
- fixed texture window now closes properly
- fixed user defined x/y modifying the behavior of fixed texture
- fixed saving of user defined x/y

[VirtualTT]

Yet another small suggestions:
Context menu options for vertex and poly selection tools should also appear in context menu for Transform tool.
Transform texture  works awfully if texture is flipped/rotated. (make a triangle, flip it horizontally, select all vertexes, use Transform texture tool and move mouse to the right -> texture moves to the left :S)

[SoldatFire]

Soldat poly-works is for me the "only" and best map editor 

anyway there is a thing i don't like and that annoys me:
It selects every time the biggest scenery and if you are making a room or something you can't select the small scenery's like box's chair's etc... cause of the big wall or a big cloud... that makes pretty laming when making much maps

You can use draw selection tool...

Yeah, that's what's currently being worked on. Didn't make it in this release because I had to get it out quickly.

It selects every time the biggest scenery and if you are making a room or something you can't select the small scenery's like box's chair's etc... cause of the big wall or a big cloud... that makes pretty laming when making much maps 

Which makes me think about maybe adding a function for locking stuff. Seems like most good editing programs have that possibility.

[VirtualTT]

I think the problem with scenery selection is that PW picks them in back-to-front order.
And one more thing: wireframe(and points) for polygons is visible even if polygons check box is unchecked on display panel.
edit: if "4 points per scenery" option is enabled only one of them can be used to color scenery.

[Fryer]

It looks for stuff with lower IDs first and stuff with lower IDs get drawn before stuff with higher IDs, so it ends up selecting whatever is behind everything else.
I'll make it work the other way around instead to avoid those problems.

bugs discovered in 1.5.0.8:
1. bounciness label isn't styled


2. many vertexes are not displayed, also some weird stuff appear on the left

[Dusty]

Fixed texture is not working.

How exactly do the bouncy polies work? Is the main idea in the bounciness percent or stacking?

I'll release a fix for those as soon as possible.

0% makes it act just like an ice poly, any value over that increases it's bounciness. For the effect to be noticable, use a value somewhere over 150%. The bounciness effect will not be exactly the same every time you hit the poly because of how soldats physics currently work.
