- OpenFileDialog - custom cursor gets stuck on the button and does not show the hardware cursor (TGB-512)
Removed:
- Resolved compiler error with stripcache on OS X Lion. The code is not being used anywhere, so it has been deprecated (TGB-515)
- D3D mode for the editor. This is rarely used, if at all. No reason to have it, as OpenGL is the default and always works (TGB-509)
- Visual Studio 2005 solution replaced with Visual Studio 2010

1. Open the level in Torsion
2. Press Ctrl+H
3. Search for useSourceRect = "1";
4. Replace with useSourceRect = "0";
This will disable source rect for all the sprites in the scene. If they are using the same value for the source rect, you can repeat the process. Just replace the value with "0 0 0".

@Vlad I - If you use Torsion, there is a quick way.1. Open the level in Torsion
2. Press Ctrl+H
3. Search for useSourceRect = "1";
4. Replace with useSourceRect = "0";
This will disable source rect for all the sprites in the scene. If they are using the same value for the source rect, you can repeat the process. Just replace the value with "0 0 0".

#29

@Vlad - The product is under your studio page. Assign it to yourself and you can download it. Source rectangles allow you to manually set which region of an image will render in the scene.

This is an odd thing that happened when I downloaded the new version of TGB. A game I made for a class I had a bit ago the background images, the boss fish, and some other images are simply, gone. When I play the game, on my start screen the background images are gone as well. The game starts and all but this is a bit weird. When I opened the new version it looked for the last project I had opened and it told me that it was made with an older version do I want to update it to the newer engine. Sure, clicked OK and this is what happened. Now, putting the images in is fine and all but that was a lot of work. Any thoughts on why this happened?

I am tackling the full screen crash. When I have the resolution, I will post a fix directly in this forum.

1.7.5 doesn't work on Lion, so I would like to update to 1.7.6. But it takes a lot of effort as we have to merge all engine files updated by ourselves... Anyway, I need to know, if the full screen issue is already fixed in 1.7.6?

@Petr - I have posted a partial fix for the full screen crash. The post shows how to stop it from crashing, but more code needs to be written to make sure the correct display is used when an app goes fullscreen. This is only a problem on systems with multi-monitor hookups, but it has to be written.

In the Reference > T2D Class Reference section. Why did you take out the expanders (spans) for everything in there ?
I personally found the ability to see a list of Methods, Callbacks, etc. in the left frame to be extremely useful. That's what I've been using to find out what methods are even available in Torque. Fortunately, I still have the 1.7.5 docs, but new people won't.

I have a question concerning the 1.7.6 Documentation. In the Reference > T2D Class Reference section. Why did you take out the expanders (spans) for everything in there ?
