Constructor 1.04 Mac test

#1 Here is what needs to be tested:

1. Does it load and save Map and CSX files OK?
2. Does the internal DIF Exporter work correctly? (there are no changes to the external dif export).
3. Do portals work like expected?
4. Do DTS files look and work right?
5. Is it any faster or any slower?
6. Is something broken now that used to work in 1.03?
7. Is something fixed that was broken in 1.03?

Of course, this is not an exhaustive list, anything else you can think of would be helpful. Thank you for your help!

Jaimi

#2 Fixed link: www.aztica.com/images/Archive.zip

#3 Sorry - And thanks! I fixed the link above.

#4 Oops, had some trouble at first, but it was just unexpected file copy behavior and nothing to do with the app (or I'm tired and accidentally clicked Dont Replace somewhere the first time).

Fixes saving and exporting crash issues I had with 1.03. This is a MacBook Pro (Intel) running 10.5.2.

Will look into it more when I have a chance tomorrow, just wanted to get rid of my big crash post here cuz it was nothing to do with your software.

#5 Jaimi did you get my crash report?
Is this version different from the one I used?

I'm using Constructor on an external Firewire HD, I'll probably give it a try from the main HD.

#6 Here's just a quick run-through.

1. Does it load and save Map and CSX files OK?

-Yes, perfectly.

2. Does the internal DIF Exporter work correctly? (there are no changes to the external dif export).

-Yes.

3. Do portals work like expected?

-Don't know, I don't use portals.

4. Do DTS files look and work right?

-Yes.

5. Is it any faster or any slower?

-Seems faster.

6. Is something broken now that used to work in 1.03?

-No, but it seems to close slower than usual.

7. Is something fixed that was broken in 1.03?

-Yes, fixes saving issues, and weird zooming issues (I believe).

#7 @Stephan - Yes, but I was unable to figure out anything from it. What sort of machine are you running on? Does it support SSE2 or SSE3? Maybe I have a compiler option wrong somewhere...

Can you pull down the version in this thread and try it? It contains an updated lib that the version I sent you was missing.

#8 @PerishingFlames:

Great news! I have an updated coming later this week also, to fix some problems with CSG subtraction.

I should have a simultaneous Windows and Mac release.

#9 @Jaimi:

Thanks for doing this! I just discovered the thread. Will test and post the results. Initial run through looks promising.

#10 I just found this as well (actually was pointed to it) but now Constructor fails to even launch. I think it's important to note I just installed the latest 10.5 stuff though. Would it be worthwhile to have some crash report details? If so, what do you want?

#11 @Joe:

What sort of Mac do you have? What type of CPU? Did you extract it over your existing constructor install?
Did it write out a console.log in the local directory? I'm unsure of why some Macs work, and some don't.

#12 @Jaimi: some positive report and feedback.

It DOES NOT work on an existing version of Constructor. It will ONLY WORK on a fresh unregistered one. In my case anyway.
Which means, I had to re-import some of the textures libraries, I used with the other Constructor application (ok, I'm a liar, because I worked on the Windows version instead ;-) ).

I ran into some problems (already mentionned, some not):
1) texture import fails, if a texture with the same name and non supported extension/filetype is present in the specified folder. I had my Photoshop files in my imported folder, and Constructor failed to import the .jpg ones that were present.

2) For some reason, the .JPG extension is not recognized as a valid one on the Mac. 8/
I personally hate to use uppercase extensions, but well, I had to, so...

Save and export seem to work as they should, and for what I am doing, it is enough. ;-)

Thanks a lot!

Edit: is it me or the Map2dif_plus export is not working anymore? was it working before?

#13 Ok, I was going to try it using a fresh extract of 1.0.3 but I didn't get around to it yet... that's definitely next on the list.

Intel MacBook Pro Core Duo (not the 2 variety)
10.5.2

It did write a console log but nothing of interest to report. It also wrote out a crash report but they're a little large to copy-n-paste here. If all goes well with the fresh extract I'll post an update, otherwise I'll post some crash details.

#14 Ok, looks like another crash for me.

Fresh 1.0.3 (afaik) with a 1.0.4 extracted over top (overwriting files). Here's my crash report with the middle chunk taken out a bit... Let me know if you need more than what I've provided.

#15

Quote:OS Version: Mac OS X 10.5.2 (9C31)

Interesting... I'm only in Mac OS X 10.5.1 (9B18)

I have to upgrade and test.

#16 Ugraded to Mac OS X 10.5.2 (9C31)
My previous install with Jaimi's program is working.

Intel iMac 1.83 Ghz (2006), 1.5 Gb RAM.

#17 Hmm - this appears to be crashing int the Ignition module (which is the one that talks to the GG server). I'm not sure what I can do about that -- I'll email Matt.

#18 Awesome work, thanks for getting out a Mac version. By the way, do portals ever work as expected? ;)

#19 @Rubes: Are they not working for you? What's wrong?

#20 Oh, mostly joking, but we just have some fairly complex interiors and it's turning out to be a real challenge getting them set up properly. But I think a lot of people are having trouble with them in general, given how fussy they tend to be.
