It's the definition for the brush that is missing. In DR2 it's defined through the source code and in ARMTS it doesn't exist at all...
If we knew how the source code translated into ingame language we could maybe restore the brushes, but as it stands now we can't modify the game engine and so we cannot restore the studio to the ARMTS build. It's best to simply mod the DR2 studio and use that instead.

I can modify the games code that's what I've been doing for some time now

If you can then can you reinstert the studio code from the DR2 source code? That should at least allow the studio to boot.

AMRTS Brush

So you can't? I know obviously one is formatted differently, but can you not change the parameters of the ARMTS code?
Why not look at the DR2 exe the same way you look at the amrts code?

The error is that the brush is not defined.
Normally when writing a new brush it looks like this:
Code: Select all
CreateControl("Brush::Terrain", "Brush::Config")
{
ReadTemplate("Brush::Common");
Text("Terrain");
// Invisible control to align to
CreateControl("Align", "Static")
{
Style("Transparent");
Geometry("HCentre", "ParentWidth");
Size(-4, 0);
}
// Should the brush draw heights
CreateControl("Deform", "Tool::ToggleAlignButton")
{
UseVar("$<.drawheight");
}
Notice how the class of the module is "Brush::Config".
Now all classes are defined somewhere in the game. For example in the interface for the sound settings:
Code: Select all
CreateControl("Notches", "Game::Notches")
{
Align("<VolumeMaster");
}
The class is "Game::Notches" which is defined earlier in the ingame.x file.
Code: Select all
ConfigureInterface()
{
DefineControlType("Game::Notches", "Static")
{
Geometry("Bottom", "HInternal");
Style("Transparent");
Pos(0, 1);
Size(302, 12);
CreateControl("LeftNotch", "Static")
{
ColorGroup("Sys::Texture");
Image("if_interfacealpha_game.tga", 56, 14, 7, 11);
Size(7, 11);
}
CreateControl("RightNotch", "Static")
{
Geometry("Right");
ColorGroup("Sys::Texture");
Image("if_interfacealpha_game.tga", 63, 14, 7, 11);
Size(7, 11);
}
CreateControl("Notch1", "Static")
{
Pos(24, 0);
ColorGroup("Sys::Texture");
Image("if_interfacealpha_game.tga", 28, 10, 3, 5);
Size(3, 5);
}
CreateControl("Notch2", "Static")
{
Pos(49, 0);
ColorGroup("Sys::Texture");
Image("if_interfacealpha_game.tga", 28, 10, 3, 5);
Size(3, 5);
}
The problem is that the class of "Brush::Config" is not defined anywhere in AMRTS. In DR2, it's defined through the source code itself, in the same way that basic classes like "Static" "Window" or "MultiPlayer::Players::Slot" are defined.
If we knew how the source code translated into ingame language, we could theoretically redefine the class in the same way that "Game::Notches" is defined.

I redact my claim of giving i was just tired
the brushes are defined in the source code
in studio_brush_terraintweak.cpp in dr2
Code: Select all
TerrainTweak::TerrainTweak(const char *name) : ApplyCell(name)
{
// Create interface vars
varVertexColor1 = CreateInteger("vertexColor1", Color((S32)64, (S32)128, (S32)64));
varVertexColor2 = CreateInteger("vertexColor2", Color((S32)255, (S32)255, (S32)255));
varColorScale = CreateFloat("colorScale", 0.3f, 0.001f, 1.0f);
varSmoothFloor = CreateInteger("smoothFloor", FALSE);
}
in AMRTS
Code: Select all
int __thiscall sub_5D7050(int this, char *a2)
{
int v2; // esi@1
v2 = this;
sub_5E56C0(this, a2);
*(_DWORD *)v2 = &off_671008;
*(_DWORD *)(v2 + 336) = sub_5BCF50((void *)v2, (int)aVertexcolor1, -12550080, 2147483648, 0x7FFFFFFF);
*(_DWORD *)(v2 + 340) = sub_5BCF50((void *)v2, (int)aVertexcolor2, -1, 2147483648, 0x7FFFFFFF);
*(_DWORD *)(v2 + 344) = sub_5BD020((void *)v2, (int)aColorscale, 1050253722, 981668463, 1065353216);
*(_DWORD *)(v2 + 348) = sub_5BCF50((void *)v2, (int)aSmoothfloor, 0, 2147483648, 0x7FFFFFFF);
return v2;
}
