Stack View Patch

fixes instability when opening a new stack view and drag/docking it into position.

install - drag into the link editor and press the Run button

Problem Details

sequence of steps:
close the stack view
press the stack view button to open a new stack view
ctrl+drag the new stack view to the original stack view position
result - bad window artifact and unstable/crashy trueSpace

Fix

problem is caused by assigning an owner to the stack view so it does not get covered by the main tS window
so remove the owner assignment
result: upside - no crashes, downside - the main window can cover it up the floating stack view

Edit: Removed attachment. Updated file is below in new post.

Attached is the "original camera plus" widget from uu4clinton 2.0
trueBlue has offered to add it to the UU directly, so no patch installer for this one.

Updated patch

After the floating stack view is open it will automatically dock back into the default position.
This requires that the Info Panel is still in it's original position. If not then the panel remains floating.

Edit: attachment removed because it worked with all layouts except for the Default layout

Great, I will uncheck "Use Intensive Visibility mode" now that the Show and Hide toolbar buttons will work
No longer need to go and get coffee!

Can not remember, I think I added the function; VisibilityMode()
Looks like all references to that can be removed?

I have implemented all your trueSpace 7.61 Unofficial Update Patches except for the Stack View Patch

I added a Restore Stack script to UUCommands
This restores the current layout with one exception, if the current layout is the default_layout.rsl, it will be restored to the Default.rsl which is exactly the same
The UUFunctionSet/function OpenHistoryWindow(),
Runs: Activity.Run('Scripts/UUCommands/Restore Stack')

Code: Select all

// Execute 
// Called to execute the command 
function Execute(params)
{
	var WMS = WindowsManager.GetWindowsManagerNodeName();
	var StackPanelNode = FindStackPanel(WMS);
	var layout = Node.Value("/Project/Windows Manager Space", "LayoutName")
	var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

	if(StackPanelNode) {
		System.Alert('Stack View ia already open')
		return;
	}

	if(!fso.FolderExists(System.GetMainDir() + '\\Rs Main Libraries\\')) {
		System.Alert('Rs Main Libraries folder does not exist\n\nSelect a layout from the top titlebar to restore the Stack View')	
		return
	}

	if(layout == 'default_layout') {
		if(fso.FileExists(System.GetMainDir() + '\\Rs Main Libraries\\Layouts - Configurations\\Default.rsl'))
			WindowsManager.LoadLayout('\\Rs Main Libraries\\Layouts - Configurations\\Default.rsl')
		return
	}

	if(fso.FileExists(System.GetMainDir() + '\\Rs Main Libraries\\Layouts - Configurations\\' + layout + '.rsl')) {
		WindowsManager.LoadLayout('\\Rs Main Libraries\\Layouts - Configurations\\' + layout + '.rsl')
	}

}
function FindStackPanel(currentNode)
{
	if(Node.ShortName(currentNode) == "StackPanelView Node") {
		return currentNode;
	}

	var subObjCount = Node.SubObjectCount(currentNode);

	if(subObjCount == 0) return;

	for(var i=0;i<subObjCount;i++) {
		var subObj = currentNode + "/" + Node.SubObject(currentNode, i);
		var foundval = FindStackPanel(subObj);
		if(foundval) {
			return foundval;
		}
	}
}

Hopefully, in the near future, your Stack View Patch installer will not change the upcoming UUCommands

Freeze Transform

was easier to just change button labels from to "Local" to "Active" instead of replacing with the original check boxes

refined the help, but still not perfect because of the complexity of doing a combination of pivot and mesh manipulation.

changed a problem line of code, primitives where not behaving

Code: Select all

		//only valid for meshes
		//if(Node.IsRenderable(selName))
		if (Node.Exists(selName + "/Editable shape") || Node.Exists(selName + "/Shape"))
			MeshModifiers.FlattenAxes(selName);

Replacement Origin Function Set that won't run on dimension objects

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 05 Oct 2023, 16:13

More reliable Origin Function Set Dimension bypass as suggested

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 05 Oct 2023, 19:11

Mesh Origin scripts need to be adjusted some more to avoid Dimensions
This Linear measurement was attached to the Cube before using Mesh Origin

.
While in Edit Graphic mode is problematic
Origin to PE Selection is problematic
Set Snap Point Widget is problematic

I think the easiest solution would be to add a command to the Mesh Origin panel buttons to avoid Dimension(S)

Code: Select all

if(Node.ConExists('', 'Dimension')) return;

Also, again, Origin to PE Selection does not RClick Cancel when there is no PE Selection
Status message is stuck
TODO: Need to check if the widget is still loaded

Radial Modeler

Floating point rounding error when using the Measure Angle

Hexagon shape should give an angle of 60 degrees which translates to 6 sections to add up to 360 degrees

Problem is measurement was giving an angle of 60.0000000000001

Multiply that by 6 and it goes over 360 degrees giving an error if you try to do 6 sides only allowing 5 sides because it adds up to something like 360.0000000003

Select the Scene
Press any of the Mesh Origin's panel buttons

I added:
if(Node.ConExists('', 'Object'))Space.Unselect();
To all of the buttons except for the Set Snap Point Widget button
This needs a return to stop the widget:
if(Node.ConExists('', 'Object'))Space.Unselect();return

Select a Cube_Measurements or Scene_Measurements node and Set Snap Point Widget
The widget starts on a selected node that does not have a mesh, matrix, or any connectors

Fixes:
toggle origin display button - removed dimension restriction
fix bug Origin Function Set where 2D groups were allowed - now only 3D groups are allowed. The Scene is a 2D group.

It does not matter what is selected before the Set Snap Point Widget is run. The only thing that matters is the first object the widget is used on.

Vertex Paint

updated the rsx plugin to prevent a crash and add some checks and messages

http://clintons3d.com/plugins/downloads ... Plugin.rsx

Added a button so that it does not automatically convert the selected object to an editable mesh
The paint works with "Editable shape" and "Shape" nodes. Converting to editable will lose the mesh visualization streams that are not compatible with the Editable shape node.
"Prepare and Start" will do what the original uu9 "Start Painting" did. It will convert the selected object to editable mesh and if it's not an editable mesh it will open a material library with vertex color compatible materials.
"Start Painting" will just start the widget without altering the selected object or opening any libraries.
It should be noted that even if you do start the paint with a specific object selected nothing prevents painting on a different object instead.

I just received a note that some of the UI has changed since the last release. The changes are based on the last release version.

@Clinton
Can you take a peek at this and see if it is okay and or if any improvements need to be made?
I added your Image RGB2Alpha node as an indicator that the Bitmap has an Alpha
This is a big guess on my part
From the looks of it, if it shows all White, there is no Alpha?
Would be great if the Save script could check for an Alpha channel first
The plan is to add this to your Components - Compositing library in the upcoming UU9

is it possible insert that instructions sequence at the end of download page of every UU9 new version where you also explain how to install vray_ts.rsx?

Once you found the toolbar and you tried to open the Import FBX, did you find the process intuitive?
If you installed Vray, there is a VRay ReadMe.rtf file in the trueSpace main directory that explains how to Install and Load the plugin
FBX_2 for trueSpace7.61
http://clintons3d.com/plugins/truespace ... inout.html
Look for the video link:

Hi TrueBlue

in my previous 761Std installation i loaded Clinton's plugins and Vray_ts.rsx together so when opened the imp/exp Clinton toolbar had no message

Now in last new installation with your last upgrade had the messages with instructions as you tell.

Thanks again and excuse me for the useless question.

This is why, I recommend in the instructions to Uninstall and Reinstall trueSpace to a clean directory before running UU9
Your questions are not useless!

Importing and Exporting is not for everyone, which is why I implemented Clinton's Import and Export plugins as Optional
This way, a user can Unload (Not Uninstall) these plugin(s) when not in use, which helps lower trueSpace Resources, Start, and Shutdown times!

Moved the Snap Point Widget down to the related "Origin to Set Point" section. If you end by RClick, it sets the snap point and the "Origin to Set Point" button is the next step. The button could also go just above the dividing line since it can also Ctrl + RClick to do the snap immediately.
Snap Point Widget will set the XYZ value display.

Replace /Scripts/CustomCommands/MeshOrigin

Remove Orphan Materials

Works properly with scene instanced materials
Removes unused scene materials
Fixes issue, steps below:

create object with 3 different colors
point edit select the last 2 color faces and separate them out from the mesh
remove orphans

result is the first material will turn white or if scene instancing is used the object navigation widget will disappear along with part of the 2 color object

replace "Fix Orphan Materials" inside of /Material Editor/Material Editor/D3D Material Converter/Fix Orphan Materials

Requires Clintons3dPlugin.rsx v1638445 (Oct 13 2023) or greater

Replacement object navigation docking controls.

Switch button will cycle the docking position of the widget among "Left down corner", "Nearest corner", "Nearest silhouette corner", "Anchor origin" and "BBox center"

Setup:

"CycleObjectNavigationWidget" replaces /Widgets/WidgetScripts/CycleObjectNavigationWidget

"ObjectNavigationWidgets" (no spaces) replaces Widgets/WidgetScripts/ObjectNavigationWidgets

"Object Navigation Widgets" replaces /Widgets/Select/Object Navigation Widgets

UGH, just noticed you changed the ONW XYZ colors

Oops.

I'll upload a replacement.

No new upload was needed. Skip the replacement of the "ObjectNavigationWidgets" (no spaces) replaces Widgets/WidgetScripts/ObjectNavigationWidgets. I also removed that attachment from the post.

new steps are

"CycleObjectNavigationWidget" replaces /Widgets/WidgetScripts/CycleObjectNavigationWidget

"Object Navigation Widgets" replaces /Widgets/Select/Object Navigation Widgets

That's the opposite of what it does. If an unused material, an orphan, exists it removes it. It doesn't add or create missing materials.

UUFunctionSet Copy and Delete

This is a combination rsx plugin and script update that allows running the original trueSpace copy and delete without using script buffers.
The plugin has new commands added:
GetNodeValueInt will work like Node.Value for integers, but it will work inside toolbar buttons and function sets
GetNodeValueFloat for number values is the same - works in toolbar buttons and function sets
GetnodeValueString for text values will also read color values as text and matrix values as text

The GetNodeValueInt is used inside the UUFunctionSet to make running old style Copy and Delete. This was the motivation for these changes. I was following a tutorial and needed to record a macro using the copy, but it didn't record properly because the copy was run via a script buffer which is the only way to read node values in a functions set. The plugin function can be run inside the function set directly and so it can run the Delete directly. And this is compatible with the macro recorder.

The new required rsx plugin can be found here:
http://clintons3d.com/plugins/truespace ... index.html

new UUFunctionSet node with Copy and Delete changes is attached

Material Converter

ui change:
label "D3D Compiled -> D3D Shader" changed to "D3D Base -> D3D Compound"
see manual chapter 2, section 2.8.4 Creating and Editing objects in the Link Editor

bug:

create cube with default material
material converter
D3D Compiled -> D3D Shader
D3D Material -> Instancing
error line 18 SetActiveMaterial

problem is Name value is null not ""
no node to set default value so needed a try catch when reading the name

This has gone through some changes and has not been released yet
Can you add your updates to this one?

There is a new Scene aspect too

Not so sure about the label change
If you read Chapter 5, they use Shaders through out the document
Not seeing Compound

around line 117 it will add 3d groups to the delete list. so if you have nested 3D groups they will get deleted

replace the nodes inside "/Scripts/UUCommands/Encapsulate"

replace the nodes inside "/Scripts/UUCommands/Encapsulate"

Where in these scripts can you add the following:
Space.RemEulerTrans(str)

Objects like the following will throw an error:

		} else {
			if(!Node.ConExists(currentChild, "Matrix")) {
				Space.RemEulerTrans(currentChild);
			}
			childMatrix = Node.Value(currentChild, "Matrix");//add 3 lines above this one

fix it just before the error line

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 21 Dec 2023, 00:33

That area looks like it is for NURBS

How about line 18?
3D Unencapsulate

Code: Select all

	for (var i = 0; i < numSelected; i++)
	{
		var currentEncapsed = Node.SelectionGetAt(sel, i);
Space.RemEulerTrans(currentEncapsed)
		if(Node.IsCamera(currentEncapsed)) continue;
		if(Node.IsLight(currentEncapsed)) continue;
		if(Node.SubObjectCount(currentEncapsed) == 0) continue;
		if(Node.IsRenderable(currentEncapsed)) continue;
		if(isaNURBS(currentEncapsed)) continue;

		CleanRenderAttr(currentEncapsed)
		UnEncaps(currentEncapsed);
		unencapsHappened = true;
	}

Not having much luck adding it to the other encaps scripts except the 3D Unencapsulate LE which is the same as above

Current UU 10
Not sure why, I have 3 objects that are 3D Grouped
I applied Hair to one of the objects
I select the 3D Group, use Zoom to Selection, and get an error
I select the object with Hair, use Zoom to Selection, and get an error

Here is the fix for Zoom to Selection and Zoom to All when hair has too many vertices for the GetCenter command to work(tS bug).
It was fixed by using the bounding box to calculate the center when the GetCenter command fails.
