| 16:26 | SKITCH2: | Can sombody tell me where i have gone wrong in glue please? sniff |
| 16:26 | ali: | Of course, skitch |
| 16:26 | ali: | Where the problem? |
| 16:26 | SKITCH2: | right I have this mirror thing nailed |
| 16:26 | ali: | Don't *sniff*, we're here to help you. |
| 16:27 | SKITCH2: | but my use of the transparency is crap |
| 16:28 | SKITCH2: | I have a prm called floor.prm |
| 16:28 | SKITCH2: | i am typing alsorts into my command text |
| 16:29 | SKITCH2: | and it doesnt seem to become transparent |
| 16:29 | ali: | Paste the command file in here |
| 16:29 | SKITCH2: | k |
| 16:30 | SKITCH2: | nhood1.w( |
| 16:30 | SKITCH2: | tedelete(floor rwall lamp carimg box) |
| 16:30 | SKITCH2: | ) |
| 16:30 | SKITCH2: | nhood1.fin (floor.prm |
| 16:30 | SKITCH2: | (transparency(10) ) |
| 16:31 | SKITCH2: | any good? |
| 16:31 | ali: | simple |
| 16:31 | ali: | change "floor.prm" to "floor" |
| 16:31 | SKITCH2: | tried that |
| 16:31 | ali: | transparency 10 isn't distinguishable from invisibilty, btw |
| 16:32 | ali: | hm. |
| 16:32 | SKITCH2: | i have gone all the way through :-) |
| 16:32 | ali: | oh - the first line you didn't pase is "create(nhood1)" I guess |
| 16:33 | SKITCH2: | probably me done sommit silly |
| 16:33 | SKITCH2: | yes i have tht in there |
| 16:33 | SKITCH2: | that |
| 16:33 | ali: | Well, that's one common trap |
| 16:33 | SKITCH2: | hehe |
| 16:33 | SKITCH2: | i will go over it again |
| 16:33 | ali: | 2. The program works, but the more I use it the longer the files get. |
| 16:33 | ali: | You are probably reading and writing the same file. If your command file looks like |
| 16:33 | ali: | create( nhood1 ) |
| 16:33 | ali: | nhood1.w |
| 16:33 | ali: | then you are successive enlarging one file by what you are merging into it. Use different files for input and output. |
| 16:34 | ali: | That means: |
| 16:34 | ali: | each time you run glue, it reads nhood1.w, nhood1.fin and floor.prm and create a new nhood1.w from all those |
| 16:35 | SKITCH2: | i see |
| 16:35 | ali: | So, now you have floor.prm in your track multiple times at the exactly same position - looks like it's there only once, but is there lots of times. |
| 16:35 | SKITCH2: | hehe got ya |
| 16:35 | SKITCH2: | dir silly me |
| 16:35 | ali: | Having 5000 nearly invisible things in one place and 1 fully opaque looks opaque |
| 16:35 | SKITCH2: | i wondered why my fps dropped lol |
| (time passes...) | ||
| 17:40 | SKITCH2: | it has been run once |
| 17:40 | ali: | On a *fresh* nhood1.w? |
| 17:40 | SKITCH2: | yep |
| 17:41 | SKITCH2: | started from scratch |
| 17:41 | ali: | Hahaha |
| 17:41 | ali: | Solution: |
| 17:41 | SKITCH2: | what? |
| 17:42 | SKITCH2: | :-) |
| 17:42 | ali: | You still have the instance *two* times: One time from the .w and one time from the .fin |
| 17:42 | SKITCH2: | ahh |
| 17:42 | SKITCH2: | can i delete the .fin? |
| 17:43 | ali: | So deleting/moving/renaming nhood1.fin (and deleting the .fi-) should solve it |
| 17:43 | SKITCH2: | ok cheers |
| 17:43 | ali: | Yeah, you can delete it (and floor.ptm, too), unless you want to modify the instance. So better keep a backup |
| 17:43 | SKITCH2: | will try again |
| 17:43 | SKITCH2: | ok |
