CSE Ghosting Problems

[Arion]

I'm trying to use the CSE but have a MAJOR graphics glitch. When I try to move an object with the properties window along any of the axis I get ghosting of the object. Its so bad that if you drag it far enough ahead you actually have two objects until you click the okay buttong See attached screens

This makes it impossible to do fine detail work aligning things like sidewalks, basement pieces, cave tiles, etc.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I am using the latest OBSE and CSE

[HeyYou]

Does it do the same behavior without CSE?

[Lady_Nerevar]

It's unique to the CSE in my experience. I'd report it to ShadeMe.

[Arthmoor]

I think he's already aware of it but it can't hurt to raise the issue again so it'll be fixed for the next version.

[Arion]

Does it do the same behavior without CSE?

No it does not do this in the regular CS..

Thanks

[Arion]

Thanks Lady_N and Arthmoor.... Appreciate you letting me know.

Fine detailing aligning sidewalks and basement tilesets? Aren't those objects already set to a base2^ grid? You should be able to just turn on snap to grid and they should fit perfectly.

[Arion]

Believe it or not I can't figure out snap to grid.. I do it manually in tight situations and basement pieces I work it out by the numbers for the pattern.

Sad...

Well one way of sorta doing it would be setting the 1.0000 next to the XYZ position coordinates to the scale you want to move them by. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc. Most tilesets are 128x128, so 64x64 allows for decent control.

There should also be an icon on the toolbar of a red circle on top of a grid. Thats the snap to grid. (Default 64)

That could be a feature, not a glitch, so that you can see where you're moving 'from' and 'to'.

I do know you don't see that behaviour if you move an object without the reference window open. So my only suggestion is open it to set your rotation, close it, reposition object to where you want it. Probably not very helpful when you're already in a habit of doing things.

[HeyYou]

I always start my first piece at 0,0,0, so that snap to grid works better..... if you have some odd starting position, the numbers get really weird, and StG doesn't work as advertised.

[Arthmoor]

+1 for starting at 0,0,0. It just makes things so much simpler. Grid snap rarely gets messed up that way and a lot of the tileset pieces have edges that fall on power of 2 values that are easily recognized.

[Arion]

I start at 0,0,0 all the time.. When I couldn't figure out how to use S2G I started looking at the pieces once I lined them up and could see how the numbers on the grid progressed and after that I just plug the numbers in the properties box as soon as I bring the object in the render window. I did my basements and grotto like that..

But the ability to place things when I want in fine detail work without blurring and stretching seems to be a "normal" way to do things.

Just got a response from ShadeMe that this has been fixed in the newest version - soon to be released sometime. YEA !!!! And thank you ShadeMe
