TGEA 1.7.0 Beta 2 Bug - T3D Demo - Select Model

#1 I was just about to report this

#2 I'm not able to reproduce this =(

Can you give me more detail? Anything that will help us recreate this bug reliably?

#3 I got it reproduced.
Started the T3D demo, directly went to the game, jumped a couple of time, a couple of shoots. Exited from mission and pressed "Select model".
Inside GuiObjectView I see the grass texture.
Changing the model on menu does not update GuiObjectView.

Restart.

Went directly to model selection - all seems ok.
Loaded game, back to the menu - GuiObjectView again garbaged.
If I change resolution (windowed mode here) by double clicking on title-bar to maximize window and back - every time the GuiObjectView displays different kind of "garbage". The "garbage" is similar to what Bill posted.

#6 TGEA 1.7.0 Beta 1 is without this error.

#7 ...

#8 Ok...got it recreated on my end...definitely something related to DRL.

I'll log it and get it fixed.

#9 There is still some odd states in the DRL code that need looking at but for now the easiest way to fix this is to go into source\lightingSystem\synapseGaming\sgSun.cpp and add:

virtual void onRemove();

just below

virtual bool onAdd();

Than go down and add:

void sgSun::onRemove()
{
   sgLightManager::sgSetAllowDynamicRangeLighting(false);
   sgLightManager::sgSetAllowHighDynamicRangeLighting(false);
   sgLightManager::sgSetAllowDRLBloom(false);
   sgLightManager::sgSetAllowDRLToneMapping(false);

   // And let the rest of cleanup happen.
   Parent::onRemove();
}

just after

bool sgSun::onAdd()
{
   if (!Parent::onAdd())
      return false;

   if ((!mSgLight) || (!mSgRegisteredLight))
      return false;

   mSgLight->sgDoubleSidedAmbient = true;
   mSgLight->sgUseNormals = true;
   mSgLight->sgZone[0] = 0;

   return true;
}

That should be enough to get the Player Picker back into working shape after you exit a mission.

#10 Yes this works. It is fixed.

#11 I have the above code in place, but my guiObjectViewer still gets very upset when DRL is turned on. Does a sort of Picture-In-Picture effect I've seen described elsewhere.

#12 Has anyone gotten guiObjectViewer to not have this error while in game? (Works fine in Unified Shell menu)

#13 Fixed this bug in TGEA 1.71. In guiTSControl comment out this line:

gClientSceneGraph->getLightManager()->hdrPrepare(updateRect.point, updateRect.extent);

That's it. Now it won't try to prepare hdr lighting, which you don't really need in a gui control anyway...

#14 I don't think this was ever fixed in TGEA 1.8 or 1.8.1 because I had to implement Dante's fix.

#15 Yup, good to know. Fixed a bug i didnt know i had...
