VXLSE III 2.0 Changelist.
Subject description: Under construction with no release date.
Just to keep you people updated:
2.0 Alpha from 10/07/2006:
- revisions by Banshee
- Added: Surface Generator: You can create hermite and bezier surfaces. (Thanks for my friend Neostrider for helping me with it for a university project )
- Added: Ability to optimize your voxel/new section for land or air unit. The difference is the bounds calculation. When Land is selection, the minimum height is 0, while Air uses the old system.
- Added: Ability to normalize only non-normalized voxels.
- Added: Ability to normalize all sections at once.
- Updated: Undo system is being redone. Now each section will have an independent undo and redo.
- Bug Fix: The program will now load sections with no used voxels instead of giving range check error.
- Bug Fix: Failed to set data for 'Path' message won't appear anymore if you do not have administrative powers on your operational system.
- Bug Fix: When creating new voxels or on the resize operation, the x, y and z you determine will be the x, y and z from your voxel. The order is no longer messed up.
- Bug Fix: Dropper is now the default tool from the program, instead of pencil. This prevents users from accidentally painting the voxels when creating new files or opening existing voxels.
Some of you might be asking.. 'only with these changes, why 2.0'?
The answer behind that is a surprise feature under construction that requires a major rewrite of the engine of the program. It's something 99% (or more) of you wouldn't imagine in a voxel editor.
The other planned features are ability to draw bezier curves, volume generator through curves and simple maths operations. Extrude tool and few other things.
I'll keep you updated with new features and this list will be revised during my progress. The surprise feature will take a long time to be finished, so do not expect the release to be anytime soon. QUICK_EDIT
those last two bug fixes are the most critical ones, IMO, good job. BTW, what about the bug, that when you copy and paste voxels, all "empty" cells will turn into light blue voxels? _________________ QUICK_EDIT

When I try to run VXLSE III 1.2C, it crashes on my non-admin account. It just gives the <insert> "has encountered an error blah blah blah" error.
On an admin account, it works fine. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

AGREE! It,s very anoying bug...
New thig to VOXEL III: copy and past over, insted of deliting, then copying, it ads over what that was there before.
Merge setions into one voxel, that wil be nice
OS hva editor into the VOXEL III is also a "need"
Bigger pre. of the voxel.
EDIT: SORRY;P MAKE IT OPEN SOURCE!!! end of EDIT _________________ Sorry about my english, I am a Norwegian(and proud of it )!

I did resized (not full resize!) a voxel, then after that oddly appeared some sections be filled with currently selected color what came when I pressed "Y:" 'up/down'.
Also Ctrl-Z / Undo made them disappear...
EDIT: Can I be beta-tester when you start testing VXLSE III 2.0 beta with people of PPMSite? QUICK_EDIT

- Resize and New are messed up on 1.2c. X, Y, Z are out of place. I have it fixed here, although I don't know if it would fix this odd sections being filled problem.

- Undo is being redone because it's too much bugged.

1) PPM.
2) No, because it's not ready for beta testing yet. As I said above, important parts of the program are being redone and the program can't be tested without them. QUICK_EDIT
Ill tell you a story. Will the 'Father' of VXLSE created a Voxel Editor and lost the source code to it. He decided to create a new Voxel Editor and this time make it open source, so that if he ever lost the source code he could just download the app off of a site and bang he would have it again.
Ever since then each programmer who has worked on VXLSE (Will, Plasmadroid, Koan, Stucuk and Banshee) has continued the Open Source trend.
The source code is in Delphi(see Borland for more info on Delphi)

@Stu: http://cubic.org/docs/hermite.htm for Hermites. The bezier procedure is similar, except that the h matrix is different and it uses 3 points, instead of 2 points and 2 tangents.
@Gaffel: We need someone to find us the magic formula , so we can make a tool based on it. QUICK_EDIT

Banshee, in the next couple of weeks, I might be messing with FLH and comparing numbers between FLH, 3Ds Max, and the voxel dimensions. Hopefully I'll get you a nice Ratio so you can add an FLH calculator. ^_^ _________________ QUICK_EDIT

IcySony55, there have bean a while snice you posted that, hows it going with it? QUICK_EDIT
Try "importing" some (alot) MSpaint features.
And, if that would have anything to do with it, the GDI -> Nod pallette swap is really bad. It makes units white. QUICK_EDIT

Notice how I said "weeks". Weeks are long amounts of time, and I did use the plural version of the word. When I feel like getting to it. I will.
Note for Banshee. The FLH Calculator should be placed in HVA Builder, and not VXL SE III. Because we want the FLH to work properly with turrets, which we align in HVA Builder. ^_^
Also, using my very own 3DS Max to FLH ratio. I'll be able to give Buildings and Infantry a proper FLH aswell. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Nice idea .
used to exist in VXLSE II v2.1SE as CTRL+L(i think thats the shortcut function)(there were 2 options, copy, paste full, and paste, in VXLSE III, this is broke, and they all remove existing content).
as said(in an old bug report), i want the copy and paste to function as it did in VXLSE II v2.1SE.
a merge VXL would be nice too, in this case i can make several VXLs full of parts correctly positioned to be merged, then merge them up automaticly rather than manaually. (i've only done this once because it was such a PITA to copy every layer twice (normals and colours seperatly))
BTW, a nice option would be a checkbox somewhere, for copy normals with colours on and off. sometimes i want to copy both, but mostly only 1 or the other. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
