Thanks a lot trueBlue i am one of the downloaders...

i have a question about your frequently .zip updates without start a setup from first step to last each time...tell me if it's a good idea:

I would to install tsp761 on a clean directory (ie:trueSpace761) before your Unofficial.zip file setup step and then rename that folder as "trueSpace761.cln"?

So if one wants install your latest Unoff zip file he can simply uninstalls the "tsp old-UnoffUpdated dir" and then copy the "trueSpace761.cln" removing the .cln extension.

Don't know if my english is quite understandable...all i wont is only to be quickly updated with your latest zip files without all the steps jumping directly to the last

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 03 Jan 2021, 15:26

I can not recommend installing the original trueSpace program (any version) to some other directory other then what the Caligari Developers recommend. Which is the C:\ drive
The biggest reason is, trueSpace (any version) reads and writes to your Registry and installs a Caligari.ini file
So my thought is if you install it somewhere and then rename things, trueSpace's Registry would not know where trueSpace is

The Unofficial Update(s) does not have an installer. It adds new files and overwrites existing files. More importantly it does not remove files.
In the past, I have removed files from the Unofficial Update(s) which is why I recommend that you Uninstall/Reinstall trueSpace to a clean directory before running the Unofficial Update(s) Also there is several files that are dependent on the default install directory that the Unofficial Update(s) uses.

My current goal is, unless there is any reported issues with the current Unofficial Update(s), there will be no more updates for tS7.61 and tS7.61Std

Cellulo · Post by **Cellulo** » 03 Jan 2021, 16:08

The only problem with "Caligari.ini" file, its that this file is always installed in "c:\Windows", because the original script installation setup of trueSpace use always "c:\Windows" location for "caligari.ini" file and it can't detect other drive for Windows installation, but what happen if the users use another drive for Windows installation location, maybe trueSpace don't work. It's a good question.

Actually it is installed to

Cellulo · Post by **Cellulo** » 04 Jan 2021, 09:04

For infomation, i made a test of the "Caligari.ini" file with a fresh installation of trueSpace Modelside with the default installation path on drive C:, but before the installation i deleted everything about trueSpace files, in registry, in Windows folder and "username\appdata etc.." folder.

The result is that the "Caligari.ini" file is created in Username folder when trueSpace is closed for the the first time, it make a copy of the "Caligari.ini" file from Windows folder to Username folder, this will be a windows processus for this type of file.

I found an inconsistent use of color in the object nav widgets.
Default object navigation widgetONW2 is the default widget with colored triangles
Default object navigation widgetONW5 is the same widget plus the cage, but the triangles are white.

I'm planning to focus on documentation updates.
This is a proof of concept modification of one of the quickstart guide pages.

I'm using LibreOffice Draw to edit the original pdf file.

Wow, surprised I can't attach a pdf file.

Nice!

Great job on the View widget image!
Are you going to do the Default Context widget!
Background Widget?
A header (image?) would nice too!

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 17 Jan 2021, 05:49

This is what I have so far. An extra page for some custom widgets and the million shortcuts.
Plan to clean it up then
For the quickguide the only other things I have planned are all on the 3rd page:
to add the missing transfer skinning weights button and cover up the rotation lock label
add the red toolbar button
redo the uv mapping image to match your changes
maybe the le toolbar

After that is looking at the manual chapters to see what can be fixed/changed

Might want to mention i + drag = Opens the widget's Additional Shortcuts Help floating panel for all of the OBJ, PE, ME Inspect, Camera, and View widgets
Background is b + i + drag
I'll see if I can add a d + drag Help for the Default Context widget

Edited the last two post
In the UU(s) there is a tS761 Workspace Shortcut List.rtf file in Scripts directory for the UU shortcuts

Here is the unreleased shortcuts xml & rtf files
Includes the unreleased Shift + L = Loads/Shows Workspace Layers
You will need to reboot tS7 after updating the xml file, Resetting the Default Context does not work

Been wondering if this is up to date and or can undo the current UU updates?

Point Edit Widget questions/comments.

"," is spelled comma no coma

I can't open the Point Edit Widget's Preferences

"Bars, Triangles, Cubes, & Arcs
Ctrl + LMB select opens their Mouse settings
RMB + Drag - Opens the Point Edit Widget's Preferences"

Contradicts "RMB + Drag on Arcs to rotate from the Axis"
RMB drag on cubes is uniform scale
RMB drag on triangles is move perpendicular

I tried RMB drag on everything but no preferences shows
Also tried Ctrl RMB click

I looked inside and it looks like the shortcut is set to open object nav preferences instead of point edit preferences

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 17 Jan 2021, 21:17

Whaaaat? It is not spelled comatose?

Both the Obj & PE help was wrong, it should have been Ctrl + RMB select the Sphere

Sphere
LMB + Drag - Moves selected Face, Edge, or Vertex in X and Y
MMB + Drag - Moves the widget
Alt + LMB select - Opens the Quad Menu
Ctrl + LMB select - Closes the Quad Menu
Ctrl + RMB select - Opens the Point Edit Widget's Preferences

The commands were wrong to, so I change them to:
UserInterface.OpenToolPanelViewEx2("" , "" ,"Widgets/Edit/Point Edit Widgets", 3,0,0)

Thanks!

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 17 Jan 2021, 21:36

Camera Widget

(Side)
"ALT + LMB = Rotate 360 degrees" doesn't work for me and rotating 360 degrees is like not rotating at all. Is it rotate 180 degrees?

Edit: never mind I see 360 degrees means tilt up down and spin left right

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 17 Jan 2021, 21:58

It works just like the View widget's Green Encircle without anything selected
So really rotating in 360 % is not correct either
So what should it be called?
omnidirectionally
Look around

Edit the button script and remove

Press the Save Settings button

clintonman wrote: 19 Jan 2021, 03:25 OK I think I got that figured out. Now what does the Display Toolbars button do? I press it and the toolbars all seem to just flash and the checkbox next to it does not seem to do anything.

Steps
Check Display Toolbars
LB click in the 3D View
LB click in the Link Editor
Repeat

Uncheck Display Toolbars
LB click in the 3D View

The unchecked Display Toobars checkbox is not working

@ Clinton
Thinking about changing the shortcut in your Centered Obj NAV widget(s)
Currently it is using:
Sphere
P + LB click opens Mesh Origin panel
I would like to change it to:
O + LB click opens Mesh Origin panel

The reason for this change is all of the other OBJ NAV widgets use:
P + LB click opens the Axis widget 'Toggles On/Off'
More importantly, I want to add:
O + LB click opens Mesh Origin panel
to all of the other OBJ NAV widgets

Synchronize Scene & Synchronize Scene2 scripts
Updated
Fixed a multiple selection bug

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 09 Mar 2021, 06:07

I see a synchronize button as before, but I don't see any Synchronize Scene & Synchronize Scene2. What's the difference between them and where are they found?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 09 Mar 2021, 11:54

Synchronize Scene & Synchronize Scene2 are scripts inside the Synchronize node

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 09 Mar 2021, 15:45

Does the link editor have to be open for the Synchronize to work?
If I change the LE to an animation view, the model view stops following things that I move around. Scrubbing the timeline does show motion in modelspace. If I have both LE and Anim views then I can move things around and scrub the timeline and model follows along.

Confirmed that the crazy name bug is fixed.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 09 Mar 2021, 15:57

Confirmed
There is loss of movement until you use the View widget
I'll test adding a Synchronize script to the Object Navigation Widget(s) and Point Edit Widget(s)

Found another issue
Selecting the Sync from Workspace button before selecting the Activate button starts the process without Protection!
Edit: I think that having a Link Edit view in the layout is going to have to be a requirement.
I have ran out of solutions
tSBridge.SynchronizeObject(Node.FirstSelected())
tSBridge.SynchronizeObject(Node.Selection())
tSBridge.SynchronizeObject(Space.CurrentScene())
All of the above causes problems with multiple selected objects
Unless you have any other ideas

I don't see, "Selecting the Sync from Workspace button before selecting the Activate button starts the process without Protection!"
Can you give steps and what to look for?

Are you planning to open a LE view to the scene as part of the process?

Select the Sync from Workspace button

I was thinking about a Synchronize layout

@Clinton
This is a very rough different version of Synchronize on how I think it should work
I have only tested the Workspace aspect Activate/Deactivate portion
Three new scripts, Dock, Open LE, and Close
Close is called from the Workspace aspect Activate/Deactivate button script

After selecting the Activate button

What does the Synchronize Camera button do?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 14 Mar 2021, 00:00

Node.Select(System.ThisOwner())
D3DView.SetActiveCamera('', '')
tSBridge.SuggestTSStateByAlias("SV_VIEW_VIEW_CAMERA")

Been noticing that the Camera can lose focus at times
Also when you switch to Perspective, and or any other views, the camera loses focus and is no longer synching Workspace with Model

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 14 Mar 2021, 00:15

Doesn't work well with multiple runs on the Default aspect. Ended up with several 3D views

Side by side also removes the possibility of using multiple monitors, so I think the old way still needs to be an option.

Is there any advantage to the side by side window runs?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 14 Mar 2021, 00:28

As said I only tested this using the Workspace aspect
As we have discussed the recommended why to use Synchronize is to have a Model view in the main view
This side by side should be the same except that they are docked
I have run out of ideas
The layout idea is not working out

I also tested in Workspace aspect, didn't see any problems there.
So from what you said above I assume that the code is changing the main view to Model and then opening a new Workspace 3D view docked next to it.
If side by side is an option that can be turned off and on, I have no objection to it.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 14 Mar 2021, 00:42

Nope, it opens the floating Model view and docks with the Main view
If Model is already open, Activate does nothing, so that is an issue

One question would be is a floating model view that's been docked as reliable as or the same thing as the main 3D window switched to Model view. That will take some testing to see if it's true.

I guess you could close any open model views first. I don't know off the top of my head if we can do that or not though.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 14 Mar 2021, 01:58

Yep, need to test to see if it is the same
Makes sense that it is
More importantly, the Workspace view is open before Protection runs and then Model opens
Your code checks for a Model view, but I did not add anything to it, and I would not know how to use it

Did some testing rendering a Workspace animation from Model
Docking the floating Model view into the main 3D view is NOT going to work! UGH

What happened? Did it crash?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 14 Mar 2021, 16:10

No crash, syncing was not working sometimes and trueSpace became unstable
Noticed the Mouse Listener not working too
Hard to pinpoint any one thing because it is not apparent when trueSpace becomes unstable
Are you able to play avi files in Win10?

Yes, I can play avi files in Win10.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 14 Mar 2021, 16:34

Maybe I should have asked, can you play avi files created from trueSpace?
If so, are you using a 3rd party software or codecs?

I'll have to get back to you on that. I never render to video formats only image sequences.
I use videolan vlc to play videos.
