Here's the full change log for s3pe since 2009-12-13:

1001-03-1524
latest rev: 428

VPXY Resource Editor:
Start centred on screen
Use s3pi.DemoPlugins.RunHelper.Run()
Improve a couple of error messages
Don't lose the FTPT TGI Block for modular resources!
Only first BoundingBox field had a value changed handler - fixed
OK Button disabled until (a) the resource changes, (b) there are some TGI blocks and (c) if it's Modular, there a TGI selected for the FTPT
Don't crash if FTPT TGI index is invalid
Remove resource change handler whilst saving, as saving updates the resource, causing a call to the change handler, which then corrupts the save
Get Linked Part entry IDs correct (they start from 1, not zero)
Always add the FTPT TGI to the end of the list, regardless of whether it's in there elsewhere and set the FTPT index to point to it
When renumbering the lists of parts, keep the numbers pointing to the right TGI blocks and keep the Tab order correct
Provide a means to renumber the list of linked parts
Enabled status of move buttons tracks whether they can be used
Common Move Up/Down routines to move entries in the lists of parts
Adding or deleting a linked part renumbers the list of linked parts
Bounding box value changes were handled wrongly (given how the VPXY wrapper is coded) - have to assign an array, rather than indivual elements
The input boxes store Decimal rather than Single/float values, so may round - check whether the float value as a Decimal matches the Decimal, rather than vice versa


OBJK Resource Editor:
Use s3pi.DemoPlugins.RunHelper.Run()
Use TGIBlockCombo

STBL Resource Editor:
Use s3pi.DemoPlugins.RunHelper.Run()

ViewDDS
Rewrite Program.cs to follow RunHelper.cs model.

Grid:

NewGridForm.cs: new Copy button's Enabled state to track the Delete button's.
NewGridForm.cs: new Copy button Click handler (similar to Add button)
NewGridForm.cs: Add button click handler: remove unused "count"
NewGridForm.cs: Add button click handler: select the newly added resource
NewGridForm.cs: Add button click handler: fix display of Exceptions
NewGridForm.cs: Correct link to devel forum
NewGridForm.Designer.cs: New Copy button
S3PIPropertyGrid.cs: Expandable lists should also have [...] button.
S3PIPropertyGrid.cs: IDictionaryCTD: IDictionaryEditor: EditValue: call Add(..) with "bare" constructor arguments (do not create an object)

Here's the complete list of changes to the s3pi library since 2009-12-13.

1001-02-1833
latest rev: 323

TerrainGeometryWaterBrushCatalogResource: Rename Unknown8 to BrushIndex for the field that associates a brush with its pair (really only applies to CTPT rather than CWAT).

DemoPlugins: Add "RunHelper" class and "IRunHelper" interface. RunHelper.Run() accepts a Form/IRunHelper type and a parameter list (of strings). The parameter list is parsed for either /clipboard or a filename. The Form is then invoked with a Stream reference to the clipboard or file data. If Environment.ExitCode is zero, the clipboard or file are then updated with IRunHelper.Result.
DemoPlugins: Oops, didn't quite get the not using clipboard for Plugins change right. Here's "Take 2".
DemoPlugins: Oops: res.Stream.Position is never where you want it; write the whole resource to the file.
Helpers.txt: Pass resources by file ("{}") rather than clipboard to s3pe editors.
Helpers.txt: Put quotes around filenames, too.
Helpers.txt: Add a note about putting quotes around filenames.

The AsBytes tree now lists editable data and the grid will display vpxy bounding box info.

Replace function no longer works, Import from file has to be used instead.
When a child window or context menu is closed, part of it's outline will
continue to be seen in the lower part bottom pane, where the "indexpart", "indexcount", etc. , lines are.
That area is only refesh when the app is minimized/restored or
is covered by another window.

[Raven Shadow]

Rebooting doesn' stop it. It's nothing important, just a graphical glitch that I mentioned with the other bug I'd found.

[Gisu]

When I use the copy button in the materials grid of the OBJD to create a new material, and then change the _IMG instance as explained in the multiple paintings tutorial, the material I copied takes on the texture of the new material. Changing the instance number in the copied material back to what it's supposed to be, results in the new material taking on that instance number as well.

Is pressing the copy button all you have to do to make a new material or is there anything else I need to do to make it seperate from the one I copied from?

ETA: I think I've figured it out. When I change the last digit in the Unknown3 line (see Pic) of the new material to a different number than the already existing materials have there, than it shows up in game as a seperate material.

I copied [0]material and the last digit was 2, then I changed it to 5 (since the other two materials had 3 and 4 there) and now it works.

Of course, by doing that, I could have borked something not readily apparent on the object, but so far it's working.

No, that is how you do it. Guess I could have told you that, huh?

[pljones]

Hi the "Jones", I'm really getting confused with these version numbers. Is this ver. s3pe_1002-07-1313 the same as the s3pe.exe in the folder "s3pe-1001-16-1638" that I unzipped yesterday? Cheers CarlosThe reason for the numbers being different is that they represent different versions. If they represented the same version, the numbers would be the same.

[Inge Jones]

Carlos, assuming you are installing manually, best to just wipe out the folder, and download from fresh. That way you will know for sure you got the latest of everything.

[Gisu]

No, that is how you do it. Guess I could have told you that, huh?

Nah, this way, I get to feel all smart and accomplished for figuring it out myself...

But it is good to get confirmation that this isn't gonna make my game and/or computer go booom!

Edit: Found another bug

Using the vpxy resource editor to add an ftpt reference
via the TGI Blocks... button.
The new entry was not added to the editors parts list and the
editors save button remained disabled. (the TGI window's save button was enabled correctly)

[Inge Jones]

I don't think Peter fixed the VPXY editor, it's probably still broken since the thread we advised using Delphy's for now (or the grid as that's meant to be fixed in this release).

[Raven Shadow]

I found that there is a sequence that seems to work.
1) Add to the TGI list 1st
2) Use parts list Add button and select the item (from the drop down) added to the tgi
3) Save button becomes enabled.

[pljones]

Adding a TGIBlock to the TGIBlockList only does that. You also need to decide how to use that TGIBlock - I'm not aware of any way to guess. (For example, there are two places a FTPT could be used.) Given the way the editor works, there's no point it allowing a save until you've referenced the TGIBlock, it wouldn't store it anyway.

The nasty crashbug is annoying because I know it's going to take ages to fix and I'll probably break something else...

[Inge Jones]

Yeah but I think Raven is just saying that's a way to unlock the Save button, not that the new TGI block needs to be user - perhaps it can just sit there having served its purpose :D

[Raven Shadow]

Ok, I think I should mention something then.
A couple days ago I cloned a rug to see if I could make it function as a school
rabbit hole.
One of the things I did was to add a 2nd ftpt to the vpxy's tgi block, but I forgot
to add it to the parts list. I don't know if the game is using the 2nd ftpt or not, 'cause
of that, but I know that the rug now thinks it's a rabbit hole.

If you select the VPXY, does the preview pane show the extra FTPT? If so, it's been added. However, I can't imagine the game is using it if nothing is telling it to. Oh, sorry... I'm being stupid: this is EA and what I just said was logical... :rofl:

[Raven Shadow]

lol
I added it by using S3PE's edit button.
The new ftpt only showed up in the the vpxy editor's TGI BLocks ... child window,
not in the parts list in the editor's main window.

I've since added it to the parts list.

I have quoted your whole post as it was a long way back in the thread...

Ok, testing this, I can use Replace to replace a DDS image, using right-click, Replace on the listed resource. Did you mean Replace is only broken on specific resource types? Or am I misunderstanding which type of Replace you meant?

[pljones]

When editing the vpxy ( via the edit button )
I clicked the add part button, then changed my mind and clicked the delete button
and got this error:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of
the collection
Parameter name: indexOK, found it. Should be fixed in the next version.

Remember, the "line numbers" aren't line numbers, they're entry numbers and include the "linked parts". So where you see a "gap", you know there's a linked part.

It's a bug if moving stuff up and down crashes... I just can't reproduce it.

So if you could answer Inge's question above and also give me a "step-by-step" on the up/down/crash, please! :D

[Raven Shadow]

alrighty, Inge first then.

If I remember correctly I was trying to replace the RSLT of Object A
with one from Object B, and then load Object A into the game to verify the change.
I'm working on rabbit holes, so what I should have seen was, sims would stand right
in front of Object A ( a rug) and vanish.
But the RSLT wasn'tt replaced so they were instead using approach slots that were farther away.

I tried to replace 3 times before using the import function instead.

PLJones:
USing S3OC clone the RugCountryRound2x2 and open the package in S3PE (v1002-07-1313).
Highlight the VPXY and click External:Edit
Click Add Part
Click Delete Part
and there's your crash dialogue ..

I just tested and can say the crash only happens if the entry created by the Add
button is left empty.
If you select something in the new drop down, then delete, no crash occures.

[Inge Jones]

I don't think you can just swap Scene files like that - they have references inside that need to match what they're replacing. So probably the Replace happened, but failed to give the results you wanted.

[pljones]

and there's your crash dialogue ..That's not what I asked. I asked about the moving Up/Down crash. I think I've fixed the add/delete one in the next build.

[Inge Jones]

Up/down is working fine for me anyway. We'll assume this got fixed at the same time unless we hear again in the thread for the next version.

Time to close this as I think we have it ready now?
