Quick popup toolbars for point edit, view, point edit widgets and object navigation widget controls. The system replaces the older slower Quad Toolbar.
The point edit toolbar will hide itself instead of closing which makes it's operation much faster.
The new toolbars are mostly a collection of buttons for functions that only exist as shortcuts in the Unofficial Updates and adds zoom buttons that effect all open windows.
Quad Toolbar and Quad Menu buttons are named Point Edit and Point Edit 2 toolbars in the new buttons.

The main reason for it's creation was because the old Quad toolbars were too slow and because there are too many shortcut exclusive functions in the Unofficial Updates for me to memorize and use effectively.

Update Aug 31

undo friendly code
buttons closer in content to UU popup buttons
replaces pe end edit node with original - no auto close of toolbar when exit pe mode
restrictions on when panels can open added
will start pe mode for pe widget menu
will exit pe mode for obj nav widget menu
removes quad toolbar buttons and scripts
fixed quad toolbar size definition - get rid of extra blank line
set toolbar frame owner to the active window so they will be covered by other windows and less likely to show when tS is minimized

Dev Notes:
Restrictions loosely based on UU restrictions but doesn't allow selections like script nodes.
Point Edit Toolbars 1 and 2

Code: Select all

	if(!Node.IsRenderable(Node.FirstSelected())) return;

Point Edit Widget

Code: Select all

	var firstSel = Node.FirstSelected();

	if(!Node.IsRenderable(firstSel) || Node.IsCamera(firstSel) || Node.IsLight(firstSel)) return;

	if(!Node.ConExists(firstSel, "Selection")) {
		MeshModifiers.ActivatePointEditWidget('','','Default');
	}

Object Nav Widget

Code: Select all

	var firstSel = Node.FirstSelected();

	if(!Node.IsRenderable(firstSel) || Node.IsCamera(firstSel) || Node.IsLight(firstSel)) return;

	Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()

Update Sept 7 2021

additions to make it closer to the UU version and to add support for the upcoming point edit and object nav widget update which is a stripped down version of the UU widgets.

Update October 14, 2021

bug fix for incompatibility with the quadrify by normals tools

The quad by normals script alters the definition of what an array is. What I didn't know is that it does it globally for the current tS session and the change in quadrify was breaking the popup toolbars. Only way to get rid of the error was to restart truespace.
To see the error before installing the fix you can run quadrify on an object, start point edit mode and try to use the point edit popup toolbar.

script change is 1 line at line 21 of the OpenToolbars script

Code: Select all

		//if(i == "indexOf") continue;
		if(!tbs[i].toolbar) continue;

I am finding several toolbar commands that are not compatible with your NURBS!

Including the WorkspaceNav Toolbar

June 28 2023
Added Light toolbar
add camera options - just panel to add/remove a nav widget to the camera

forgot to mentions...

March 2023 - added material node toolbars

February - added unofficial update widget functions

Found that the latest Unofficial Updates will stop all installations from being permanent.

The plan is to create a script to unlock UU9 and allow installations again.

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 28 Jun 2023, 21:39

Installation on the Unofficial Updates v9 now requires running a UU9 Unlock script first.
Once the script is run all the installers on the website will work again.
Script is attached below for reference. It works by stopping the toolbars from being overwritten every time truespace is started.

This is totally inaccurate!

The Restore Widgets and Toolbars script looks for a few fundamental objects in Widgets and Toolbars that are needed in the Unofficial Update version 9
Maybe you should not be DELETING these few objects because the Unofficial Update version 9 needs these objects to run correctly!
Toolbars:
WorkspaceNavBAK
PEModelingToolbar
LENavigatorBar/Encapsulate

Widgets/WidgetScripts:
PE Navigation Widget
CamLightExtras
Navigation Widget
Light Navigation Widget

Preferences
AnimPref

These are your installers that I have identified and have asked you SEVERAL times in get inSync:
http://clintons3d.com/plugins/truespace ... index.html "[Widget Scripts] not compatible with UU9"
http://clintons3d.com/plugins/truespace ... inton.html "[UU4Clinton for trueSpace7.61] not compatible with UU9"

http://clintons3d.com/plugins/truespace ... tokey.html "[Animation Preference panel] is not compatible with UU9"

On top of all of the above, your installers that overwrite the Toolbars do not include the ToolbarsBACKUP that is required for your Toolbar Manager
This means, once a user uses your Toolbar Manager to Restore, all of your installer's modifications are gone

It's only deleting the Restore Widgets and Toolbars script.
How does that translate to deleting all those objects?

You list 8 objects that should not be delete. The unlock script is not deleting any of them. How can deleting the one object delete the other 8?

I did look at the Restore Widgets and Toolbars script and it doesn't look necessary, so I delete it with my script.
"It is so simple!", good. So you can easily tell me why the Restore Widgets and Toolbars exists so I can write a warning for the UU9 Unlock script stating the disadvantage of removing it. If you tell my about it maybe I'll see the what it's all about and do a complete 180.

Nowhere on your website mentions deleting these toolbars that are included in the Unofficial Update

Thanks for testing. Think I know what the problem is, won't know for sure until I check it out later. Download has been deactivated on the page.

Also, your installer replaces my Point Edit Toolbar's End edit gesture with the same command that is included in the Unofficial Update 9
Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()

Looks like your installer did not save the Widgets so, really do not understand why the above is necessary

This is exactly why I added the Restore Widgets and Toolbars script to the Unofficial Update 9
It restored my Toolbars but now I have to Reinstall the Unofficial Update 9 to get my Shortcuts back

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 30 Jun 2023, 19:32

Final note, I spent a lot of time Fixing the commands in the Point Edit Toolbars and Point Edit Toolbars 2 so that they did not destroy your NURBS in the Unofficial Update 9
So, unless you are fixing any of these commands that may be wrong and unknown to me, you really should not be Deleting them!

According to your website notes:
June 28, 2023
add camera options to the view toolbar
add new light toolbar

Seems like you should be able to add the needed items to the existing toolbars verses Deleting and Replacing
These have been added to the UU9(S) on 6/29/2023
Also, your Light Toolbar commands are using a Widget Function Set that does not exist in the UU9(S)
Also, removing Shortcuts should be optional

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 30 Jun 2023, 21:00

Yep, problem is what I thought. The installer has 2 modes of operation, Unofficial Update and No Unofficial Update. It was not updated from UU8 to UU9, so the No Unofficial Update version would be installed.

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 01 Jul 2023, 17:30

Popup link has been reactivated.
The current version will not install to the Unofficial Updates, if you try it will only reset your toolbars and waste your time.

Changes:
toolbars are specific to the non-UU truespace installation, so no dummy non-functioning buttons
point edit toolbar changed the grow, shrink and smooth selection buttons to no longer auto close the toolbar
added a Prerequisites batch installer to the site because the popup toolbars need 12 extra scripts installed to fully use it

I ran your Popup installer in my trueSpace7.61Beta with the current Unofficial Update version 9 WITHOUT using your instructions shown above
The Unofficial Update version 9 Restore Widgets and Toolbars script was PRESENT as well
After running your Popup installer, I closed and restarted trueSpace

The Unofficial Update version 9 Restore Widgets and Toolbars script DID NOT Restore the backup Toolbars or Widgets because you did not Delete the PEModelingToolbar in the Toolbar Prototypes Encapsulator

Testing all of the changes and all of the Popup toolbar(s) are WORKING including the Shortcuts
So I do not understand the above requirements/instructions
As I said previously, if a user uses your Toolbar Manager's Restore, all of the above SAVED changes will be Lost

Exactly, I have tried well over two years to get you insync with your installers and the UU
As soon as you released your new additions to your Popups, I incorporated them into the UU9
Now you are sabotaging these Popups in the UU9
For instance, your WidgetScript installer Deletes the ZoomToAll script and adds an Outdated ZoomToAll script, now it no longer restores the Selection
Your PENavObjNavWidgetAutoload script Deletes the widget(s) Help object and adds and Outdated Help object
Not cool!

move the params.ConValue("Selection") at line 11 below the if statement as shown

Code: Select all

In the UU9, the CyclePointEditNavigationWidget script has 106 lines
The Cycle button:
Activity.Run("/Widgets/Edit/Point edit widget/Widget Switch/CyclePEWidget");
The PEW:
Activity.Run("Widgets/WidgetScripts/CyclePointEditNavigationWidget");

Seems it would be easier to fix the Cycle button

Looks like an error. There's no Specular Reflection either.

Update April 18 2024

Disconnecting a link in a complex material. This is how it looks before trueSpace hangs and then finally crashes.

This has been giving me trouble for a long time now. For some things I had to just give up because there were just too many crashes while editing materials.

This update adds a new button to the DX Components popup toolbar that can be used to disconnect a material link without crashing. It's only needed when a shader has too many nodes(I think...)
After pressing the button a panel will appear near the mouse position with a list of connected input links. Choose one of the options to disconnect the corresponding input connection.

This update uses an updated rsx plugin, v1638451 and the newest floating panel script.

July Update:

2 changes to the disconnect script in the dx components popup
- fixed to work with the Material node input/output bug
- added new option to disconnect all inputs

tS Bug: The Material node inside the sample materials has several "input" connectors that are flagged as "output" connectors. This bug does not stop the node from working properly. The Material.RsMat file found in the "Components - Inputs and compilers" library has the correct input flag applied to the connectors.
I also noticed that the connector names don't match between the two nodes, so there could be a some other scripts where the name mismatch may stop them from working properly when the "good" Material node is used.
