Guppycur Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I've found that if I click a prefab in more than once, the red box stays, but because the marker in the w/e gets removed there isn't another one to remove the first red box. This is not consistent, so I think it's some sort of lag issue. I didn't have any luck waiting, but @hal, the monitor is one of those weird extended ones (25xx by 1980 or something), but both the game and w/e are windowed to keep them on the same screen. Ill try full screen and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL9000 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Damn, lag is one of the hardest things to debug unless it's happening on my system too. I'll have a play around with it. @sorrowthief, restarting the server will remove the red box but I'll see if I can add something to remove all the boxes.

Guppycur Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I got OBS and made a quick video of the prefab insert issue I'm having. I had to choose a large prefab (diersville city block) because I'm pretty sure the smaller ones are off screen (and I can never find them - maybe if they don't show up on the initial screen, the prefab marker doesn't update when I drag to it?). This is at full screen. I've no other monitor to test it on, so maybe it IS an "extra wide" monitor thing?

HAL9000 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Ah yes, it's cause you're zoomed in. The prefabs have problems placing if the top left of the prefab is above the visible part of the map. Unless the same happens when you're zoomed out and within the borders?

Guppycur Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Maybe this'll help explain it better: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HROrw3jDo8&feature=youtu.be[/url] ...I don't really understand what's going on. Note, when I go to the player to insert a prefab, I don't even see the prefab marker until I zoom in, and then the issue starts. In fact, it seems to do this if I go anywhere else on the map other than the "start" position the W/E puts me in. 2nd video for purposes of showing it. I'm in the default start area, can place prefab correctly. I go offscreen, I can't. I go back to default start area, I can. I go offscreen, I can't, and I then demonstrate that it's necessary to zoom in to see the marker. [url]https://youtu.be/1Svbb-9Iqns[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL9000 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Haha wow, what a difference a key's width makes. In the code I'd typed PositionX instead of PositionZ and I was testing in the one place on the map that didn't produce the bug. Do a manual update and have a play with the new version. You should see some of your list in there too. Not all of it's implemented yet though. Thanks for the vids Gup, that helped a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppycur Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I have a mountain prefab, I was going to do a few on my own anyway, but now I wanna check out how the pimps mountains are first. Back on topic: Thanks for the disconnect! It saves me time, for sure. In the Loading process, all those things that come up with "Done" afterwards, could you add a "Completed" as well, so I know when ALL of the processes are done? Thanks!

Sorrowthief Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Since we are on request and if its not already possible I would like to be able to drag a box on map and have it use air to flatten ground. Coppi mod has a pblock p1 where u set the first possition and then pblock p2 air, it will then flatten the whole area down to the players level or you can specify the coords. Would be a nice feature on the world editor to just drag a square and have it flatten and fill with air at the players lvl or let you set the height with the red box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppycur Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I use a 1 block high flat prefab for that, fyi. It's 25x25. [url]https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?38742-Ground-Flattener&highlight=prefab[/url] Stand at the SW corner, look NE, insert at -1 to your y-offset, boom. Flat ground. But yeh, it would be cool in the W/E. How would you determine it's y-offset? THAT BEING SAID, if the W/E did have terraforming tools (flatten, raise, lower, the standard stuff) I would fly to England and marry you, Hal.

Next version will have it. Restarting the server would get rid of the boxes, they are only ever held in memory so once the server exits they disappear.

There's lots of messages you don't see happening in the background like getting the chunks. [QUOTE=Guppycur;474005]I use a 1 block high flat prefab for that, fyi. It's 25x25.

Terraforming is on my todo list (or at least looking at the feasibility of implementing it) but it's something that would probably need to be done in the game rather than the editor which means heading in more of an SDX route than how it is now.

Sorrowthief Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yea that flat prefab works well Guppy thanks. I would love to see see terraforming tools in the editor. So much you can do with this already. I took a rocket launcher and tnt to a big prefab, made some holes and and then stuck half of that plane prefab into it. Really looks like it crashed into it. I love this thing and im building my post apocalyptic world. I always thought the world didnt look beat up enough for a world like this. Now, with this tool Im changing all that a lot easier.

Guppycur Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Rockets make great caves. Valmar has some tools, one of which makes "liquid" blocks... Basically spews out a bunch of say, stone, they fall like water then harden. Haven't used it, but will be to do more mountains. And best, it's just xml.

Guppycur Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I was looking at the heightmap for nav and thought maybe you could build a tool around it... it's greyscale, but I've no clue how they attribute blocks to it... I assume that's in a file somewhere else. [url]http://i.imgur.com/zG81Qbh.jpg[/url] for reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
