Title: Deleting maps, allowing "Suspend", adding parameters to existing sprites
Post by: durnurd on 2007-04-10, 08:38:20 PM

If you remove a map from a project, it's intermediate output files are not deleted, nor are they deleted when choosing "Delete Intermediate output files" after it's been removed.  I imagine this is also true with sprites and other things as well.

Selecting a rule of type End disables the "Suspend this rule" checkbox.  Clicking on a different type of rule does not re-enable it.

Adding a new parameter to an existing sprite causes the parameters list of existing sprites in a map editor to have "Object reference" errors instead of real values for all values including and after the new parameter alphabetically.

Are you sure you're using the same version I am.  I think I fixed something similar to that disabled "Suspend this rule" checkbox problem a long time ago, and I can't see that problem on what I'm running.  I tried loading your project and selecting your "End if (pressing up)" rule and the checkbox was still enabled.

I also can't reproduce the problem concerning adding a new sprite parameter.  I added a parameter called "test" to the Blob sprite definition while the map editor was open.  Then I switched back to the map editor and the new parameter was not displayed.  Then I closed the editor and re-opened it and it was displayed fine.

Hmm.  I'm using the version with dynamic sprites that you sent a few days ago.  When I open SGDK2 and start playing around right away, the "suspend" error does not occur.  It was only after a lot of moving rules around and making new rules, and doing many other things in the project that this error occurred.

I was working with the MetalMan sprite, and I added a "magnets" parameter, and I don't think I had the map editor open, even.  But it didn't update the constructor when I looked at the generated code, and even when I closed and re-opened the map, or even saved the project after it looked that way, then closed and reopened sgdk2, it still had the object reference message.  I don't know how it was fixed, but eventually, I deleted and re-added the parameter, and it fixed it.

If you can figure out how to reliably reproduce either of the two problems, let me know.  I'll fix the other one about deleting intermediate files.
