[House Maker]

Looking good.. :-)
Only 1 thing I would change.. The right click bring up a menu. This stops you from deleting items with the right click.. This would be the only thing I would take out... I like the A & Q raise and lower option.. :-)

[TNDKillian]

Hehe =o)

I have found a method how to select a tile in a design......so now i can change the z level of the selected tile and maybe i get it work to set it static =o).........hehehe.......

Oh, with the context menu i change it a little bit now.......it only shows when u not have select a tile ( in toolbox i mean )......i hope that is what u want =o)

[House Maker]

What I mean is when you have already placed a tile and you want to remove it you normally right click it to remove it, But when you do this a menu pops up.. I was wondering if this is intended, or if this can be removed.. Other then that the program is rocking.. :-)
The menu that pops up is the one you can changed the background color, and save.. This feature is already up on the top menu..

Great job!
But I miss some tiles:

marble arch without the decoration line
(InsideUO Model-No. 274, 275, 276, 277, 278)
blue marble arch without the decoration line
(InsideUO Model-No. 688, 689, 690, 691, 692)
marble arch with decoration line
(InsideUO Model-No. 1080, 1081, 1082, 1083, 1084)
blue marble arch with decoration line
(InsideUO Model-No. 1094, 1095, 1096, 1097, 1098)
marble arch with light decoration line
(InsideUO Model-No. 1085, 1086, 1087, 1088, 1089)
blue marble arch with light decoration line
(InsideUO Model-No. 1099, 1100, 1101, 1102, 1103)
marble bench
(InsideUO Model-No. 1113, 1114)
stone bench
(InsideUO Model-No. 1115, 1116)

It would be nice if you could add them too
I hope you understand which tiles I mean.
Sorry about my english ops:

[TNDKillian]

I soon finished version 1 with an tile editor....so you can add, reorganize and delete tiles from list......but i add this tiles to the standart list

[Alaerie]

Oh, I'm sorry, but they don't appear in my item menu ops:
a mistake on my part
But the tile editor sounds great

[lorddeception]

I love the new update!

Call me lazy but is there a way you can make pre-made tree (leaves+tree) set? So we don't have to click two things just to create a tree. This might help out creating multiple faster. Or is there a feature for that already that I missed? Awesome tool!

Thanks

[House Maker]

Well the references for the trees and trunks are seperate in UO.. If you have InsideUO you will see what I mean..
But yes it would be nice to have them together.. :-)

Well, I helped out "un-named" shard build and decorate and one of the scriptor made a gm tool that can place tree+trunk all at one click. I no longer have that tool and the shard moved and I can not get any contact with that scriptor so I knew it's possible to create such tool.

I'm having some problem with the release #10.

Each time I try to load a saved building, I get the following Error:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Impossible de trouver une partie du chemin d'accès "C:\Documents and Settings\Propriétaire\Mes documents\Internal\toolbox.xml".

(sorry if a part of the error is in french)

[Squidinc]

Ok, I was able to fix the previous error, the saved buildings have to be in the same directory than the "Internal" Folder.

Now I get a new one! whaaa

System.NullReferenceException: La référence d'objet n'est pas définie à une instance d'un objet.

Here you go :| dunno what do to about this one :/.

[Squidinc]

Yeah, they said its a problem in the saving routine.

Will be fixed next release.

[dusktiger]

soooooooooo, when do we get to see the save routine error fixed? i'd be happy with just downloading a patch that fixes it if that's easier than making yet another RC.....

[Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams]

Where's the source code?

Cheers,
Ignacio

[bphein80]

In the middle of make a building...i got the exception error.
I reloaded and tried to open the building that i had saved, but get the same exception error.

I did a test....I created a new building...saved it....then tried to reopen it. Same error. I removed the installation of the house builder and then reinstalled it. Still get the same error.

Weird that even reinstalling wont fix the problem. Hope this can be fixed soon. I love the program.

BTW, im WIN XP Pro.

[Tykin]

Has House Builder RC10 been modified to fix the save problem yet? I heard mention of a 10a version but I cannot find it linked anywhere. Also has the source code been posted yet? Just curious.

Thanks,

Tykin
