Final trueSpace7.61 Beta 8 Std Unofficial Update

[clintonman]

@Clinton
Steps
Delete the Workspace Layers that has been setup from the scene & add another one.
Do you notice the last used menu is blank?
...

Nope, I don't see that at all. Tried with my web page version on older rosetta UU and on the latest full UU. Don't see any blanks as shown.
Maybe you're missing some steps. When you delete and load a fresh layers it doesn't have names like "Cubes", it has names like "layer7"

Is happening for me.
Try saving the scene with Workspace Layers, Load a new scene, and then Load the saved scene
Do not press the Initialize button

Nope, still nothing.

The only way I can get it to work is Copy the refreshlayers script and add the two lines mentioned previously
refreshlayers2 script
Add
//Line 136
if(disp_mode==-1) myenum.SetStringAt(0,"menu");
myenum.SetSelectedString("menu");

Here is a scene from the current Standalone Beta UU.7 with the Workspace Layers' blank menus
Maybe your are testing this different then I am
Note the 3 Torus are in the No layer count
Selecting Refresh does not update the blank menus

Also, if you Export the Control In on the refreshlayers script

And LMB select the titlebar on the workspacelayers3 script, Select Run automatically

This will run the refreshlayers script when the scene loads

[clintonman]

Maybe this will fix it for you.
My guess is that the error may come from middle mouse scrolling in the dropdown or typing while in the dropdown resulting in invalid values.

refreshlayers line 74

Code: Select all

//catch invalid values from mouse scroll wheel
myenum.SetStringAt(0,"menu");
myenum.SetSelectedString("menu");

line 88 add SetSelectedString - this one just looks like a straight up bug

Code: Select all

myenum.SetSelectedString("menu");

That seems to fix the blank menus
What is layer0 for?
The way you have it setup when you first Load > Workspace Layers into your scene, all the objects go into layer1
If you add additional objects and press Refresh, these objects go into layer1
I would suggest that the Refresh script put these objects in layer0
Normally I set up layer1 with the Lights
So when I press Refresh these additional objects get loaded with my Lights
Workaround, I have to select these objects, add them to another layer, and then Empty that layer
If you implemented my suggestion, it would be easier to select these objects using layer0's Select menu, and then add them to another layer
Your probably, going to ask, "Why not add them to a layer first", which makes total sense
Or not use layer1
But this issue is about the Refresh script
I dunno, it seems to me that layer0 and No layer count is a perfect match

layer0 is the same as any other layer (layer1 layer2 layer3...) it's all the same.
When you create a new scene, look at the object render attributes advanced tab for the lights or camera, they all say layer1
Add a primitive object - same thing, it says layer1.
I'm not going to fight the trueSpace default
If you want everything in layer0 then change the object defaults to layer0 for all the objects or however you want them divided by default into the different layers.

Couple of notes: for modelspace scenes lights are created in layer 1 as far as workspace is concerned. Objects are created in the active layer. Workspace layers does not have a corresponding active layer.
In modelspace If you change a light to layer 0, workspace still sees it as layer 1

I see, I did not know about the Layer index

I would like to make a change to the "Flatten selected UV vertices"

If a mesh is made up of only triangles trueSpace crashes when you try to flatten the UVs.

I would like it to call a script that checks for a triangulated mesh before running the command.
