Title: GUI Error!
Post by: dhavalmistry on November 16, 2007, 10:46:26 PM
I have a cloud layer and a lake and some models on the scene and a default terrain...

I was editing some cloud settings and then I switched over to water to change water shader settings and I get the error you see in the pic....

Note the blue highlight on the cloud color selection box...it means that they were accessible even in water tab.....

any ideas??...

I have the very same problem. It happens if I use Terragen for a long time without quiting.

Did the control actually allow you to access it, or was it more like a "ghost image"?

Hi,

I suspect what's happened here is "just" a drawing issue. The cloud controls aren't really there and will have been destroyed, I guessing you couldn't interact with them. They just weren't overdrawn properly when you switched param views, leaving what Oshyan calls a "ghost image". I haven't seen this myself for a long time, but occasionally it seems it happens still on Windows. I will make a note to try and fix it up once and for all prior to release.

Regards,

Jo

Thanx Jo and Oshyan....
