Problems with the mapeditor

[bluuue]

hello, At the moment i make a map with the DDRace.exe mapeditor (1.12a) It is very big (500x500 Tiles). Today I added a Tileset to my map and then i made some Teleports. After that i had the problem that the gui of the mapeditor didnt react anymore, especially when i zoom out. Is there still a fix for that or could you make one? I can send you the map if you want to test it. I also sent the map to a friend of me and told him to load the map in his ddrace mapeditor and he reported me that he hasnt such huge problems, but the map only lags if he zoomes out completely. But he said that the gui doesnt stop reacting on his computer.

And another problem which i have is that when i use the shift key to make more then one tile in the map, very often it happens that the tiles doesnt appear on the places where i selected them.

Do you experience same problems when opening the map in teeworlds.exe mapeditor?

[bluuue]

no when i try to load the map with the normal mapeditor the program gets closed completely because im using a tele layer and speedup

[bluuue]

btw its the newest 1.12a version which i used. I tried it with the oldest 1.12a now, but i have the same problem. my computer: i7 920, 6gb ram, win xp

[eeeee]

you should post your map to some file uploading service, somebody will check it out then

Hi,

I wanted to signals this editor problem. I actually can't map with the latest windows build because the editors make some weird stuffs that happens randomly :

• The GUI totaly disappears. (see : http://dl.free.fr/oBhexQMT6)
• The GUI partialy disappears. (see : http://dl.free.fr/ep77QZMlw)
• Mouse and keyboard doesn't works sometimes.

An example of map that makes the editor bugs can be downloaded here : http://dl.free.fr/k7CEJqY84

I tested some DDrace builds from DDrace.info and i conclued that those problems probably appears with the version 1.12a. Unfortunatly i could not try on linux for now, but i'll try to test it too.

I have thoses problems on those builds:

    Date : 03-24-2012 08:20:54
    Version : 1.12a
    Hash : 9ed9dbb9
    OS : Windows 7

    Date : 03-20-2012 13:25:26
    Version : 1.12a
    Hash : b560e313
    OS : Windows 7

    Date : 02-07-2012 12:51:55
    Version : 1.12a
    Hash : 7bd9a687
    OS : Windows 7

But not on this build:

    Date : 11-16-2011 13:24:35
    Version : 1.096a 
    Hash : 1837c76a
    OS : Windows 7

I hope those informations will help you to fix those problems :)

If i could reproduce it. Mapped for a good hr or two using everything I see in the editor just to make it reproduce it. No success. Tried it with your maps too it just wouldn't reproduce it. Damn comment and close button...

Hi,

I'm happy to see that this issue is still opened ;D i made a little video where i present a rapid way to make the editor bug : http://dl.free.fr/tKBn8lXvg

Steps are :

• Open the map
• zoom out 5/6 times
• move with Ctrl+mouse (or middle bouton)

Video made on this build :

EDIT : I noticed that the graphical bugs doesn't appears if the game group is hide. But the mouse problem is still there (especially scrolling)

[AdVetter]

The scrolling/mouse problem should be fixed already 8372849cbafb02a58fcf8aa7c706cad5c5f16731

That's great XXLTomate, I didn't see this !

The GUI problem doesn't appear neither in Vanilla Client. But it doesn't allow to make DDrace features.

I try to search what triggers those problems and it looks to be the graphical numbers : tiles info, tele numbers, switch number/delay or speedup strenght. Apparently it doesn't come from the map because it also bugs with ctf5 when tiles info is ON.

Hope it will help you guys.

This is indeed a problem with the threaded graphic engine: U can avoid this by batching stuff and reduce the number of drawcalls. I did a pull request to the main repo for the Show Info stuff, which reduces the number of drawcalls quite much. It doesnt fix the actual 'problem'. (But atm with good batching the gui problem shouldnt appear in 99% of cases (: )
