Wings 0.98.16b is OUT !!

Tnx again Bjorn!


From Björn :

  • Switching to the Quick Smoothed Preview or Proxy mode could freeze
    Wings if any object was in vertex mode. (Thanks to sinthetic.)

  • Attempting to delete a vertex that was shared by two faces having
    no edge in common would cause Wings to crash. (With such a vertex
    selected, switching to edge mode will not select all of edges
    connected to the vertex.) Wings does its best to prevent such
    vertices to be created in the first place, but unfortunately
    it still seems to be possible.

Therefore, I have corrected the commands that delete vertices
to properly handle such shared vertices.
Example of commands corrected: Dissolve, Collapse, Loop Cut,
Intrude, and Cleanup.

(Thanks to PuzzledPaul.)

  • If there were any hard edges in an object, hovering over it or
    selecting any edge, ALL hard edges would go to their “selected” width.
    (Problem reported by sinistergfx.)

  • Scale Uniform (LMB) with magnet did not allow setting the influence radius.
    (Problem reported by wasamonkey.)

  • Using the Clone On command (Put On + RMB) would leave a ghost selection.
    (Problem reported by PuzzledPaul.)

  • If an object was unlocked (using the Geometry Graph) while the
    geometry window was in temporary selection mode, the unlocked object
    would disappear until the command was finished.
    (Problem reported by PuzzledPaul.)

  • Windows: The preference file is now a standard Windows text file.
    (Problem reported by OwenR.)

  • OpenGL renderer/Yafray export: The default camera lights will be used
    if no lights are defined in the scene.

  • For developers: Wings can now be build on Windows using only
    free software. New build instructions for Windows and Unix are
    included in the source tar file.

Are you able to set hotkeys for scale now?


#3

mi believe that was fixed with the last update. scale uniform right?


#4

No, I just installed the .98.16a on a friends comp and was unable to assign hotkeys to any of the scale functions.

I don’t currently have another computer that I can try this on, so it might just be a local bug.


#5

Yep Goon! It is able to set hotkeys for scale now! For now, only for scale uniform ! :thumbsup:


#6

All my hotkey assignments that were set up prior to the version when the menus were re-arranged have worked fine - even thro’ recent issues like the ‘scale uniform’ one.

Might it be worth considering installing a previous release, assigning hkeys there - and using those prefs on the latest?
