[B3 Bugs] Editor do not fit and resize properly

by elvince · in Torque 3D Professional · 06/25/2009 (12:59 am) · 5 replies

If you open your GUI editor in full screen, the property editor (in right down) is not correctly resize. This cause to have a "blank" between the right side of this editor and the right border of the screen.
You also have a blank between the inspector (I think this is the name for the gui that show all the item of the GUI) and the property editor.

Gui resizing in general is not the best in Torque. If you keep resizing your app in the editor, the gui elements will have their coordinates recreated. Since they are integers, all the rounding that takes place will slowly totally mess up positioning. If you save your gui after a few resizes, your controls might have already wandered off 1 or 2 pixels. More resizes add to that.
Position should be stored as a Point2F instead of a Point2I.

Do you still see this in the latest beta?

In fullscreen? The editors don't support running in fullscreen due to the menu code.

I think a better way would be to have a layout system that stores design time geometries and parameters and then dynamically re-layouts based on this information. This way there is no accumulation of arithmetic operations at all and the layout is always a single-step operation from the original geometry to the changed geometry using the giving parameters about how the layout should adapt.

Gui Editor is working well in B5.

Mission Editor: When you play in Full screeen (1680-1050) + press F11. The 2 right panels are not move/size correctly. When you resize to be in the original loading size (like 1024*768), they appear to be at the right place.

I hope I'm clear and this will help.

When you play in Full screen and press F11, you should get a box saying that you need to switch to windowed mode to access the editors.

But yeah, the movement/resizing of the panels needs improvement.

There is no messagebox when I pressed F11 and I'm in full screen.

Maybe I was not clear on my "full screen", I should have say I maximized the screen. SO I'm still in window mode and not full screen mode with nothing else than the game.

Sorry for the confusion.
