  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #605

    So I think that moving over some frozen track and clicking or rapid clicking on different objects in Describe Command may trigger this problem.

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards modified a comment on ticket #605

    I am wondering if we get a race between the first track/draw Describe (which closes the window) and the second (which "re"opens it) and in the process the trk which is in static can be overwritten and cause the subsequent calls to have a NULL track. If C_START runs (new command) or C_DOWN runs or ActionMove (if the track being hovered over) is frozen they all clear trk. But If the previous call instance was inside DescribeTrack while this happened and then ran (because, the click was fast enough...

    So if I don't close the Describe window first and then open a new Describe I eventually get the bad address program failure (5 or so interations). If I do close the Describe window I get the message about the track not being the right type failure eventually (5 or so iterations). Too late to do more today. Attached is the xtc I am using.

    Tried Describe-Draw-Object-1 ->Close->Describe-Draw-Object-2 in a loop. Third time around on the same two objects I got "trkType == T_NOTRACK || trk->type == trkType: /Users/kshaffer/src/xtrkcad/app/bin/track.c:458 Do you want to save your layout?" I had not altered anything.

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #605

    Seems like the most obvious thing is that something reset trk in static to NULL soon before the GetTrkType call at line 645. The simplest explanation is that DescribeTrack() did this but I don't think function calls have access to the caller's memory to reset it. The type of track was supposed to be a Draw object in this case, BTW. A straight line in fact. I had one already in describe and I selected another one with the Describe window open. It was about the second time I did this that the error...

    This is the GA release level. Downloaded. Running under LLDB when the error happens its a bad memory access at GetTrkType+16 called from CmdDescribe + 911 called from DoCurCommand +787. Based on the instruction dump it seems to be about to compare something to T_NOTRACK but the address used is 0xc off %rax which has 0x00000000 in it. So that would seem to be an uninitialized pointer to the track. I would note that I am using a lot of modules and some of them are frozen, so it may be possible I tried...

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #604

    Options -> change the text field value handling to be updated immediately in all cases (benefit immediate visual updates) or ensure C_CANCEL is called on Reset in this case. I can see an issue with the field handling in that the intermediate values of the text field that can change on every character change have to be ignored so they don't pollute the Undo log. I suspect that we will need to have a side pointer to the original value and record that for undo at the end of the command if it has changed...

    CallPushDescribe at cselect.c:3270 is called that calls in turn - cmdDescribe() for C_Start, C_Down and C_Up to start the Describe at the appropriate cursor place It seems in the code that it is C_Down where all the action happens. The updated field is supposed to be called back on each change. But in the case of the text box it is always ignored whereas things like the pos fields will cause immediate updates. DescribeDone has to be called and that only happens if C_CANCEL is called on cmdDescribe....

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #604

    The issue may result from the removal of the "Done" button in the Describe dialog at cmisc.c:472. There is a special piece of code for the SEG_TEXT draw type at about cdraw.c:627 that looks for an inx == -1 and runs the update to assume that the TX field has been updated. This was presumably added because otherwise the text input would be ignored. I am not yet certain why the updatedraw() is not being run upon Close - or it is is, why the inx value is not being set to either TX or -1 when the Properties...

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #568

    I think the items you mention are because of differing config set ups. You only need to do packaging for distribution to others - the program should run from the binary in the install directory you built without need for doing that (and then installing, etc). The packager needs to point at the root install directory - so that it can find the binaries under that. I'm assuming you are building for a 32-bit version or for a non-release version?

    First up, a major source of confusion is that XtrkCAD does not support visual "drag n drop" like a Office tool or most programs these days. It supports "Select n Move n Click". To "Add" an element you select it (click and release on the toolbar) then you move the mouse (no buttons held down) to the layout then you press the left-click button again (and can drag it around while the button is held down until released). For removing cars, you find them on the layout right-click (to bring up the menu)...

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #538

    I have - Changed the logic from "wait for the a timer pop" before doing any zoom to do a first zoom now and then block all zooms until after it pops with a delay of 0.5 seconds. If in that time I get mutliple pops I change the timer to 0.25, otherwise it sets to 0.5. This has the effect of only allowing a maximum of 4 zooms a second and starts from scratch at 2 zooms a second regardless of input from the wheel/trackpad and also removes a hesitation at the start that encourages overzooming.

    Bug was fixed by adding the numeric key "+" to the keys that trigger + zoom.

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #538

    The current implementation equates one wheel increment event as equivalent to a "+" or a "-" key. What probably needs to happen is to add a timer that blocks further increments for a period of time (or suppresses a % of clicks within a short period of time after each "click") and allow the screen to redraw - this would also help the trackpad which also is quite sensitive on zoom. The ideal would allow a truly rapid wheel/trackpad movement to still cause "clicks" but damp down slower movement. Significant...

    The connection distance and connection angle tolerances are universal (and user alterable in Options->Preferences). Two tests might illustrate this - change the connection distance to 0.2 and see what happens (likewise with 1.5 as an angle). We have not thought about how these values relate to scale (they are absolute defaults of 0.1" and 1 degree) however. So when a set of parallel tracks are created, any minor discrepancies in track positioning may add up at larger scales because the track offset...

    The useful points are not always the ends - for concave curves the impinging point is the interior center of the car (strictly the center between the two bogie centers if the centers are offset from the car center). I tried to do this code in V5.2 but it is extremely complex as you move between track elements especially those with complex and changing curvature. In the end I had to drop it. Probably someone else smarter than me might be able to get it to go.

    There are already snaps available by holding down control drawing at 90 degree increments in line drawing - but they are fixed to the layout coordinate system. One way to achieve this precision for non-joined elements (such as table edges) would be to draw a polyline along the first/existing edge and use ctrl for the second polyline element (which snaps to 90 degrees to the first element). Then redraw the table edge elements over the polyline (using the inherent line end snaps that affect normal...

    The keyboard support on Mac/UNIX versions is especially complex as it relies on the mapping coming from X11/XQuartz and before that the OS (either Unix or Mac). What is thought of as standard for Macs is not standard for Linux - which is what X11 is emulating.

    Car selection issues in Train Mode

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #482

    Can't help very much as my Mac has blown a fuse and is being repaired. But notes - Those turnouts were built that way to get the latest information that included a radius at the end of the diverging legs to match the information provided by Peco. The intention is that extending them would add a curve rather than a straight. So the very last segment of the turnout is supposed to be a short fixed radius curve which can be read without knowledge of the internals (or the need to extend the turnout model)....

  • Adam Richards Adam Richards posted a comment on ticket #482

    This could well be the curve center marking option in Options->Display.... I suspect that it is appears for turnouts as well as flexible track because fixed radius RTR track is also a turnout. If so, not sure about why it appears in Map - that may be a bug - but it would only be displayed at certain zoom levels so as not to clutter too much as the map zooms out. The reason for that option is to allow layout of the real tracks by placing the center and using string - but as that center is often in...

    Yup - I probably omitted them without thinking. BTW - Just in case this helps - you can achieve a trimmable table edge with a normal line with width set to -3. (Minus means a fixed pixel size to draw which is the only real difference between line edges and lines today). That way you can have table edges with Beziers, PolyLines, etc...
