Totally outstanding work, PhReAk. downloading now !

Download complete and testing, I also seem to have "rename jump node" problem. Here's more interesting problem: I can only see the cockpit (and the pilot) of the Hercules, nothing more

[Black Wolf]

Err... I see the menus, I see the buttons... but I don't see the display window. I used -fredhtl and all - anything else I might be doing wrong?

@WMCoolman :

Thanks for the info, in this case I will wait a little and continue with the old build for the time, but I'm still glad to see some progress here

When we are already at it, I have another strange error, but this one appears since the first HTL-Build of FRED :

"Serious problem loading model "insert name here", XX normals capped to zero".

I'm getting this error with two models sofar (a destroyer with "34 normals" and a highpoly satelliet with "240 normals") , but besides this message when loading and saving, everything is fine (works also without problems ingame, so I'm ignoring it fully) Builds before 3.6.5 seem to ignore this problem.Just thought I mention it

[RandomTiger]

Fantastic work Phreak, thanks very much for that.
I would love to know how you fixed the viewing system problem.

Could anyone looking at the build please update me on any bugs that still need fixing with regard to it moving to OpenGL.

[Blitzerland]

Just fix these bugs and it'll be perfect, right?

*can hardly wait*

[phreak]

Ok here's what i've fixed this afternoon:

1) Dockpoints and paths now draw correctly in HTL.
2) Distances draw correctly in HTL
3) Background bitmaps show up again.

I just need to fix those various jump node problems and we'll call it good. *bashes WMC*

[Solatar]

*gives PhReAk a nice pat on the back*

[StratComm]

Does it recognize animation flags in the tables as it parses yet?  I know it doesn't really need them to operate, but the version I'm using right now stops parsing once it hits one.

All these years of broken FRED, and now PhReAk fixes it so quickly.

[Bobboau]

yeah, he must have found that
broken = true;
line and changed it.

[WMCoolmon]

I knew that -fixbugs command line would come in handy.

I'm in Linux right now, so, uh, it'd be a bit hard to test FRED. Well, I think I do have winex installed...

I'll take a look when I boot to windows.

Edit: And how did you fix the viewing system problem?

[Bobboau]

probly a veiw matrix forgetting to be reset.

[phreak]

or the matrices being set when they weren't supposed to.

just diff fredrender.cpp and take a look


Strattcomm: It has everything as of 3/19 in it.

[phreak]

updated the build as of March 20th (link at top)

1) Dockpoints and paths now draw correctly in HTL.
2) Distances draw correctly in HTL
3) Background bitmaps show up again.
4) Jump nodes can now be renamed!112
5) Jump nodes now don't throw errors if loaded from a mission

rats, i just discovered a minor bug.  If you load a mission with a background, it won't show up until you open the background editor.

[Ferret]

PhReAk, how many of your babies can I have? I want them all! :O

[WMCoolmon]

He can have babies? Phreak, have you been modded?

(Thanks for fixing the jump node bugs btw.)

[phreak]

I'm running retail.

[Cobra]
