Magic mouth bug

« on: 30, August 2010, 11:46:35 »
There seems to be a minor bug in the Editor in the logic that sets direction on magic mouths.

When I set a direction, I get two 'direction 1' (or whatever the direction is) in the map file - these appears in the attributes list in blue and the extra one can be edited out manually, of course.

I cannot reproduce this problem. After reviewing Gridarta's source code, I think it should prevent the editor from adding any duplicate attributes.

Therefore, could you explain the exact steps to help me reproduce the problem? And: which editor version and what archetypes are you using?

Btw: while checking this issue I've discovered a related issue: setting the archetype's default direction did add a redundant "direction" attribute to the game object.

First of all, here is the command window output on startup, which may be useful. I'll post again with more info.

Code: [Select]

c:\Users\Jeff\daimonin_mapmaker-B5>REM *** this should start the editor **

c:\Users\Jeff\daimonin_mapmaker-B5>cd editor

c:\Users\Jeff\daimonin_mapmaker-B5\editor>copy DaimoninEditor.jar.tmp DaimoninEditor.jar
The system cannot find the file specified.

OK. I put the MM on a map. I then set direction to north, and 'direction 1' appeared. I then double-clicked on the object to bring up the dialog. I then entered the message on the message tab. When I clicked OK on the dialog, a second 'direction 1' appeared.

Edit: I checked arch/dev/editor/conf and I have all the up-to-date trunk files.

"build number: 6887" - this version is more than one year old. Many things have changed and fixed since, including this bug. You probably should update to an up-to-date Gridarta release.

"Error: URI=file:/C:/Users/Jeff/daimonin_mapmaker-B5/arch/dev/editor/conf/GameObjectMatchers.xml Line=95: Element type "Env" must be declared." - this too is caused by using an outdated Gridarta version. This version does not understand the (newly introduced) "Env" tags used by recent Daimonin archetypes. Not being able to load GameObjectMatchers.xml might break some features like View or Analyze menu actions or even make inserting or deleting game objects in/from maps work less reliably.

In which case it might be a good idea for the Gridarta maintainers to make a new release available :)

That's not the point. Any upgrade should be available through the Editor Help menu. Why would anyone who has already downloaded everything look at the Dai DL page?

You have to know an update exists, you know.

Edit: I just looked at the DL page and it doesn't say which version of the Editor is included. So how am I to know if it has been updated without downloading the whole Mapmaker package. That's just daft.

I'm buying you a stress ball.

EDIT: Or a picture of the gridarta devs for your dart board ;)

EDIT for the EDIT: No pun intended with griDARTa and dart...

I go to a lot of trouble to announce it in the project news of the home page every time. Sorry if you can't read.

If you want to figure out how to put an update onto daimonin.sourceforge.net/editor so one can update the editor only and then maintain this update so it is always the same as in the latest map maker, go for it. You're a sf admin. You have the same capabilities as me.

Equally, if you want to put extra info on the dl page, do it. You're a site admin. You have the same capabilities as me.

Or to put it another way, your as responsible for any daftness as any other dev.

I am not a Gridarta maintainer, so why if a new version is available, isn't it made available on the Help/Update menu? Every other piece of software I use does this - and most even say "hey, are you aware you are running an old version?"

Edit: OK - I have read the 201006xx Mapmaker announcement now. Since I maintain my own client and server and update everything from SVN, I don't normally bother reading Mapmaker announcements.

In fact the only piece of software I would need to download separately would be the editor jar file if and when it's updated. So it might be a good idea to have this as a separately downloadable item.

Because, rightly or wrongly, Gridarta is a different project to Daimonin. The Gridarta dev(s) don't maintain a specific build of their project for our project and no-one from our project has shown anything but fleeting interest in maintaining such a build.

Anyway, I now have 8557 :)

Can I ask here or should I open a new topic: How do I adjust the position of the panes so that the layout is as it used to be? e.g. like the selected square pane not extending to the top of the window.
