[issue] trying 1.12-7.00 seems to not show the previews

So I was trying the new projector, shape cards and all that, I can see the Gui with numbers and selection boxes, and all that, but it seems like there should be like a 3d preview that I'm just not seeing, ... the image on top of the projector seems to work well. The scanner and the locator might need a video explaining them, jajaja XD, its just me being dumb I need to read the ingame manual a couple more times to get it probably.

The 3D preview is working but depending on your screen size and gui size it ends up at the wrong spot. Try using shift-mouse to scroll the preview until you can find it. I just found this out myself and will fix the correct location tomorrow.

I will make a tutorial video tomorrow

commented

oh yeah I found it, using a 4k monitor really put it waaaaay hidden, lol

commented

also now that I'm looking at it, doesn't the 3d render in the scanner looks like flipped on the red axis ?? something that is on the right shows up on the left

commented

and glass shows as black blocks, looks weird, it could be white blocks instead

commented

the projector shows the image without the flip, but the scanner does flip it

commented

Hmm it shouldn't flip. I'll check it out tomorrow

commented

also if you scan something in your shape card and then you take it out and try to change it's size to make it bigger for example, the 3d preview really screws up

commented

yes that's normal. The scan data must match for the size. You have to make a new scan if you change size

commented

if it were me, I'll reset the preview to a square shape if you change size.. just saying, think about it

commented

or add a blank space at the sides if you make it bigger, and just shrink the preview if you make it smaller

commented

It is not that easy :-) The scan is just a series of bytes. If the dimension is changed I have no easy way to find out what the dimension was before and how to correct the data

commented

hmmm... so you store the thing as large array of bites instead of a matrix... and you have no lenghts for axis... complicated... or you could like... store the size value when you open the shape card and use that as reference.. to be compared to what the user puts as new values...

commented

tried the new 01 version and now I can no longer see any of the previews... even with shift mouse I cannot find the preview on any of the machines or the shape card... placing the card on the project still works, but the preview is also gone in the GUI

commented

Um that's weird... It should be there somewhere. I need to find a better way to position it. Did you try other gui scales?

commented

with GUI scale normal it now shows on the other side of where it was before, (before it was on the upper left corner, now it shows on the lower right corner, but I can only see like a small corner of it), on gui small... it is not there, and on gui large, which is what I use because 40" 4k monitor, it is nowhere to be found.

commented

I just tried and the preview is always somewhere. But it is extremely hard to find in some cases. I'm thinking of a more robust solution

commented

cool, I'll give it a try when you upload an update to the curseforge site!, great work!

commented

Ok. I found the perfect formula now. No matter what gui scale and resolution I pick the preview is now perfectly centered. I will release this tomorrow

commented

the preview works just fine now!! YAY, and none of the images are flipped!.. everything seems to work fine, I just need a video to know what to use it for! XD

commented

nope nope... scanner image is still flipped...

commented

The flip bug is fixed next release
