Thats awesome. The dropdowns are now in right place. I still get the riched-error but that doesnt have any influence on my workflow.

Another annotation: I really love that feature for displaying sight/attack range of units - but is it possible to visualize those ranges while placing units?

Weird: Pressing the ctrl key around the same time as I make a selection (drag box, then push ctrl as I release the mouse click) adds the selection instead of making a new one. It wasn't always like this, not sure if this is an intended change.

Bug: Doodad placeability is not shown correctly at any zoom level.



edit: Feature request: Option to cycle cliff and edge tiles, like the ones below.

Mimose: Displaying it for the cursor is somewhere on the list.


Prongo: Right now it checks ctrl + shift state at the end of the selection operation. I may change that in the future, I'm undecided.

You can toggle the cliff and edge tiles using the 'subtile' terrain mode, either for just a single type of terrain or all terrain under the brush.

How do I set the subtile to affect all terrain under the brush? Would be useful for cycling cliff and edge variations to reduce repetition.

Bug: Classic trigger editor occasionally displays briefing-style triggers instead of the correct ones. Not sure what the rhyme or reason is to reproducing this bug, it just happens quite frequently. Closing and reopening the dialog can fix it.



Also, (very) minor nitpick, but the classic trigger editor still says 'STINGRAY CONFIDENTIAL' and the switches still note that 'ALL CHANGES ARE PERMANENT'

edit: some odd shadow rendering (when copy-pasting especially, but even when deleting and re-placing it sometimes happens)

Subtile: You have to press either shift or control, I don't remember which.


Trigedit: I wonder how I managed to break that, I was porting the code to use the new internal string interface and switch renaming data manager.... yay. Should be a trivial fix tonight or tommarow.


I think the shadow bug happens for terran buildings that have a lift off / land animation, sometimes it keeps the offset for floating buildings since it runs the liftoff/land animation when the buildings are created to connect addons.

I have a maybe bit complicated question about terrain editing:
To fizzle the right tiles next to each other so that they fit is sometimes a pain. Is it it anyhow possible to display possible fitting tiles? Im not sure how it works but im pretty sure that there are some conditions to get known of the "right neighbour" tiles (so there is it even possible to use the "isometrical"-brush). I'm not sure how to use the "subtile"-brush (I only get 4x4 black squares displayed in window) - maybe the solution is somewhere hidden there? SI mentioned the subtile brush before but i really dont get how to make use of it...
Hope its clear what im talking about

E: ok I figured out how those subtile is working: clicking on a tile while pressing ctrl gives a palette of subtiles (thx to SI)

Ctrl click in any simple terrain mode will update the terrain brush to use the terrain type under the cursor, not just in subtile mode. In subtile mode it will then display all 16 variations of the active terrain type. Placing terrain will update only that type of terrain, unless you place shift, then it updates all types.



E: classic trigedit bug fixed.

Feature request: Option to preview sounds in classic trigedit when using play wav and transmission trigger actions (apparently a StarEdit feature?)

Bug: Classic briefings use classic trigedit tools (may have been fixed with you fixing the other issue)

Didn't even know you could do that in staredit, but its been years and years since I've used that for serious mapping. Probably wouldn't be that hard to add when I port classic trigedit to Unicode.

Both classic trigedit and briefings had their type randomly set to each other, I'm gonna upload the fixed build in a sec. (And also fixed the doodad terrain display, divided by pixel tile size twice....)

Good work. I'll test it out and let you know if I run into any more problems.

Looking forward to more updates! Thanks again for all your hard work.

Hey SI, not sure if this is user error or a problem with the program, but pure sprites placed in SCMDraft don't appear in-game. Do I have to tick an option or something?

fixed, was my error

Upon saving a new document (or saving a document as a new document), the filepath does not change.

Working on pathfinding data display:

That looks very promising SI! Really good work.

boah... very cool!

Encountered strange issue when creating new trigger in classic trigedit. After choosing the player at Death-Condidtion the content changes to following:

When i start choosing from the right to the left this bug does not occure.
It happens when choosing AllPlayers, Allies, Current Player, Foes, Force 1-4, Neutral Players, Non-Allied Victory PLayer, Unknown 23-25. Player 1-12 and Neutral are the only where it doesnt happen,

That is the EUD trigger autodetection. I will change it to only trigger if you are not using one of the special player groups.
E: Will be fixed in the next version.

E2: Caption update for new maps also fixed.

E3: And hopefully the red lines no longer stay on screen.

E4: Hacked fix for the shadows for now, needs a better fix.

E5: And uploaded !

Ok great to know that this a wanted feature
Now i encountered an issue with the Trigedit+ - plugin:
When I open Trigedit++ is somehow messes up the code:

Some triggers are missing "Trigger {" thats really annoying cause when i change something in the code and want to compile it gives me an error message for each missing stringline.
In 0.8. the triggers are shown correctly:

Issue occurs with Trigedit+ 0.06 and 0.084.1

Trigedit++ isn't from me, it may be some sideeffect of changing compiler version (yay no more 2003 compiler) or updating code. Not sure how easy that will be to figure out. If you can send me a map with as few triggers as possible that causes it it would help/ (Ideally 1-3 triggers)

Trigedit crashdump when changing trigger ownership from multiple players to one player.

Mimose: Is it missing all triggers that have a blank comment? I'll add a hack to return empty strings for those in the version I'm uploading in a bit, let me know if it helps.

E: New version only, includes overlays in the terrain palette, potential fix for the trigedit++ problem (Let me know if it works !), and potential fix for prongo's crash (not really sure about that though)
