@ Clinton
Here is an updated Background Image Camera
Update
Sequence script
OpenWindow script

Wish it had some restrictions in with which it only loaded supported images, but it seems to be okay (no crash or errors) when you load a recipe for roasted potatoes

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 12 Feb 2021, 03:32

So what's new?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 12 Feb 2021, 03:49

Besides what I already mentioned, this version does not have the Loaded image refresh issue
Updates the Image Size values used for opening a Camera Window

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 12 Feb 2021, 04:37

This image is 800 x 178 and the projection plane does not fit the camera view. The plane should have the same aspect ratio to fit the view.

Here the node Exp aspect has been exposed and the X Size and Y Size have been changed from 640, 480 to 800, 178

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 12 Feb 2021, 05:27

I see but I am not sure how to fix it
I could use your help with that
Also the math in the OpenWindow script for min/max restrictions on the X_Resolutions/Y_Resolutions
There is also an issue when loading image files with numbers at the end of the names
Workaround is you have to scrub the Frames

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 12 Feb 2021, 16:38

Okay, I think I have it the way you want
Hooked up X_Resolution to X_Size & Y_Resolution to Y_Size

If the sequence starts with 0 instead of 1 it's not an issue. Frame determines which image to display. If Frame is 0 but the first image ends in 1 it's not going to display.
You can change the default Frame value to 1, but like before if the sequence starts at 10 or 100 then it won't show until the Frame matches that value.

Is this how the animation panel is supposed to look?
Are all those buttons the same in the 2 rows except for "A" and "SP" buttons?

It looks like a recent change since I have an earlier screenshot with the "SP" button all alone on the bottom right.

That is the Animation panel for tS761 "Full version"
The top rows are for Workspace
The bottom rows are for Model

The Animation panel for tS761 "Standalone" is not suppose to have the bottom rows
Looks like it snuck back in and I need to fix that because it throws errors!
Try this one for tS761 "Standalone
It is missing the SP button, but I will add that on the next release
SP = Sequence Player

@Clinton
Wanting to update a few things in Workspace Layers
I have been debugging the menu Combo Controls using the Command History
Try it first and see all of the activity when using the menu and use the Undo button a few times...

Then add

Code: Select all

RsApp.ClearHistory()

to the reconnectwatchdog script
Could be me but the performance seems to be improved too!
Also eliminates problems if a user were to use the Undo button!!!

Additionally, I want to update the Workspace Layers RMB command so that can be used to open the panel in the Stack/Panels

Code: Select all

if(Node.Exists(Space.CurrentScene() + "/workspacelayers3") 
&& !Node.Exists(Space.CurrentScene() + "/workspacelayers3/Pause Activity") 
|| Node.ConExists(Space.CurrentScene() + "/workspacelayers3", "DeepVisibility")) {
System.Alert("A newer version of Workspace Layers is available!");
UserInterface.OpenToolPanelViewEx2("" , "" , "Scripts/CustomCommands/wsLayersGroup", 3, 0, 0);
}else{
UserInterface.OpenToolPanelViewEx2("" , "" ,Space.CurrentScene() + "/workspacelayers3", 3,0,0);
}

And... the Default Empty Color = 131,125,125

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

Not sure of any unknown but if I add the following 2 lines to the refreshlayers script, it seems to correct this issue.

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"

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

: refreshlayersExportControl In.png (16.88 KiB) Viewed 2960 times

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

: workspacelayers3RunAutomatically.png (5.97 KiB) Viewed 2960 times

This will run the refreshlayers script when the scene loads

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 20 Feb 2021, 17:32

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");

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 20 Feb 2021, 19:42

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

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.

I think the Fix Bad Geometry panel needs a makeover. All the controls are too close together and it looks like the Random Threshold slider goes with the Random Point Weight checkbox. At least it needs some breathing room around the indicated separations.

It selects the floating points.

Yes, the layout makes sense. Now it just needs some separation and grouping so the button is close to the value that controls it and further away from everything else. For instance the Zero Length Edges button is closer to the Area Tolerance than it is to it's own Length Tolerance.

Here's what I mean. If you remove the labels it's difficult to tell what goes with what based on separation and grouping alone.

Something along these lines.
Related controls are grouped close together with some space between the groups of controls.

Here is a potential Spot light replacement.

It opens the preferences panel by calling a command script instead of using the command directly.

It also does not store a camera on the inside. Instead it creates it on the fly. You'll want to look at this part to see if it's a good idea or not.

Here is a potential replacement for the Background Image Camera.

It adds an image scale value so if the image is large it can be reduced so it won't cover the entire trueSpace window when pressing the Open Camera Window button.
Another change to the Open Camera Window button is removing the clear undo history when the image is smaller than 100x100

The buttons on the Camera and Spotlight for View ( the blue camera icon and the light View button) are confusing because they work in a floating panel but don't work from the link editor or stack panel.

It doesn't seem necessary. The alert was added to the Camera and Spotlight because the button behavior was inconsistent. "It works here but not over there." The toolbar buttons behave the same no matter where they are.

Also check the new Synchronize button to see if Model's View from Object works
Steps
Open a floating Model view
With the main view or another floating 3D View active, press the Synchronize button

If this does not work maybe I need to remove the View icon from the Camera panel.
Or make it work with all opened windows
This would break being able to independently View from floating 3D Views

Attached are updated HideCameraAndLights and ShowCameraAndLights commands.

They don't change any node connections and only set the visibility once so it should be more compatible with the undo system.
The previous version didn't work with selected cameras or spotlights. Just selecting them or being selected prevents hiding them.
During the hiding it will deselect cameras and spotlights, things that contain the Object hider, so they will behave and become invisible.

@Clinton
Never knew that the Show script did not work for original lights

Can we add something like this to the Show script?

Code: Select all

if(Node.IsLight(Sel) && !Node.ConExists(Sel, "RenderAttributes")) {
D3DView.ShowRenderAttribsForObject('', Sel);
ORA_was_created = true;
}

Also with the new ShowCameraAndLights & HideCameraAndLights script, I am getting an error when ran on original lights
Source object: /Scripts/Commands/HideCameraAndLights Error: Microsoft JScript runtime error Description: Invalid procedure call or argument Error code: 0x800a0005 - (null) Line: 44, Char: 3 Script text: Node.Value(curNode + "/Object Render Attributes", "Invisible") = true;

These work with old lights.

These new scripts work without error for original lights
But you will get an error, if you 3D Encapsulate original lights and run D3DView.ShowRenderAttribsForObject('', '');
This included scene has the Night Church lights that have been 3D Encapsulated

Any comment on adding the following to the Show script?

Code: Select all

if(Node.IsLight(Sel) && !Node.ConExists(Sel, "RenderAttributes")) {
D3DView.ShowRenderAttribsForObject('', Sel);
ORA_was_created = true;
}

It's not enough. it also needs the FindOrphanORA code and the part of the code that deletes the orphans. Even then it doesn't work. I think the way groups are handled needs to be completely different. I'm also starting to think that the Object hider node inside the camera and spotlights is not doing anything useful.

This is for the Show script and is added at around line 15
FindOrphanORA is already included in the Show script

example problem with current Hide and Show of Cameras and Lights:
group spotlights of default scene
hide cam and lights will hide them and show cam and lights will show them - good
"hide all" will hide them but then show cam and lights will not show them - bad
show all will bring them back - good
now hide cam and light will not hide them - bad

also if use the Show Object Attributes button on a group of lights then the Hide/Show Lights and Cameras doesn't work

The attached fix the problems described above. It uses techniques similar to the workspace layers 4 show and hide.

The tooltip in the D3D material Editor has an error. It says , "Edit picked material directly", but it should say "Edit DX material in Link Editor". Top image shows the original, bottom is the UU version.
The "Edit picked material directly" is an option in the advanced tab of the material editor.

So it should be "Edit DX material in Link Editor / Current Scene"
