New Mapping Tool - "SpringMapEdit" - r321

[imbaczek]

Specifying an external dds could indeed work, as I just would have to copy the data, without "understanding" it.

yesplease. i have 2 maps waiting for this.

@Brain Damage:
Whoops, checked for the wrong error. (SWTError inherits from Error, not from Exception...duh)
Should work now (r617)... please test again

[BrainDamage]

now it works, thanks a lot!

Ok, i reinstalled java, and tried the latest version. i still get an error.

[Frostregen]

Ok, then do a search for "java.exe" on your whole system, and post the results. (Maybe you have x64 vista, and there is no system32 folder...)

[overkill]

I do infact have x64 vista. What do I do?

[smoth]

syswow... instead of sys32.

I ran it without playing with system files though

[overkill]

I looked around. i DO have a system32 folder full of fluff, as well as a SysWOW64 folder. i have installed java but search cannot find java.exe. ill try installing again

[Frostregen]

Strange shit...it HAS to be somewhere :)
Maybe search for hidden files/folders too.

[overkill]

tried, nothing. I have unhid everything also.
Checked the java site, it says i have the latest version.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF weird.

[Frostregen]

It should at least find it, where you installed it.

Anyway:
Edit the start_win32_xxx.bat to point directly at your java\bin folder...
For example:
C:\Programs\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe -classpath..........

[overkill]

I tried it. the error changes to: C:\Program is not a recognized operable command, blah blah

[Peet]

use "" around paths with spaces

[overkill]

baww baww, it never ends

error log attached.

Hm,

I had those crashes when I disabled "Threaded optimization" in nvidia control panel. (Which you may have done for spring)

Another thing could be x64/x32 mixture.
From the screenshot it seems you are running x86 jvm.
Maybe you could try the x64 version?

Another idea would be to use the x64 libraries for jogl:
Click

And the x64 libraries for swt:
<I could not find any...search yourself on http://www.eclipse.org/swt/ >

Hope something helps...

[overkill]

It was the multi-thread optimization doohickey. I guess ill have to stop being lazy and give spring its own profile.
-Edit
Ehhh, running really slow. (says 60fps).
Could you post your gfx card settings so i can make SME its own profile and see if it helps? (9500gt 1gig of vram)

[smoth]

damn third party software

[Otherside]

bug or not listed command or something

i lost the settings and toolbar only get the map

and i cant find a way to bring it back :s

[Frostregen]

@overkill:
Disable Aero (3D desktop stuff). it made it slow for another vista user too.
I already included it into the readme under troubleshooting for next release.
(The bug with threaded optimization is listed there too since some time, btw)

@Otherside:
Did you update the SME version in between?
Anyway, copy&paste the contents of the small black window here please.

Small update: r621:
-added proper interpolation for up/down-scaling textures and patterns
-brush and pattern loading is now multithreaded (only GUI...)
-uncompressed quicksaves messed up textures/metalmap/etc... fixed (and faster now)

if you havnt solved this there might be a folder below where 'File' would be called 'compatability files' thats vista hidden folders
