Ok, there is now a patch available for the last beta here:
http://moi3d.com/beta/Dec28_patch1.zip

To install, unzip it and copy the moi_lib.dll over top of the old version under
C:\Program Files\MoI beta Dec-28-2007

This patch has the last few tweaks and bug fixes that were on my list to squeeze into v1. These include:

Improved selection for canceling and undo - the selection state of objects are now preserved when you cancel a command or do an undo. So for example if you select some edges and then fillet them, if you cancel or undo the fillet those edges will be selected again. Previously the selection was lost in this case.

Added ability to do a deselection window by holding down the Ctrl key when doing a window select.

Fixed a bug that messed up specifying the name of the .ini file as a command line parameter to moi.exe

Fixed a bug where unicode text was not being saved to the moi.ini file correctly, causing a few things like file names on the recent files list to get messed up in some circumstances.

Fixed a bug where the seam point of a closed curve could get used as a cutting point in Trim when it shouldn't be.

Switched back to using only power-of-2 texture sizes, to see if this reduces some problems with the last beta on some video cards.

Updated Space Navigator support so that the 3D view and the Top/Front/Right views handled zoom in a consistent manner. Previously the 3D view was reversed from the others.
If the new way seems backwards to you, you can reverse the direction of the zooming by going to Options / View / Rotate/Pan/Zoom options / 3Dconnexion options / Reverse zoom.
You can also restore the previous behavior where the 3D view and Ortho view behave differently by setting this switch in the moi.ini file:
[3Dconnexion]
Reverse3DViewZoom=n

Updated AI export to fix some problems with small sized curves being refit too roughly.


That's pretty much it for V1 unless some bug is found in the above stuff. I just need to add a dialog for entering in the serial number code and then V1 will be ready to launch.

Thanks for the patch!

Do you ever sleep?

Hey! I would ask that too!

> Do you ever sleep?

Nope, no sleeping until V1 is out... ;)

Thanks! Testing now.

<Fixed a bug where the seam point of a closed curve could get used as a cutting point in Trim when it shouldn't be.

Aha! So, let me get this right, if the point of the curve, was in the space of that curve, it cause it to cut itself?

Thanks for the update!

I would also like to confirm that after the latest invidia driver update, and the last patch, I am no longer experiencing any issues with the display

Great job!

Hi Val,

Yup, there is some processing that happens so that you can cut things at a place where a curve crosses itself, and that was picking up the starting point of a closed curve as a self-intersection point. But only in certain circumstances.

Thanks for posting that example file to help track it down, please let me know if you see it happen any more!

Very good news! Thanks for reporting this and for all your testing. I was getting worried about having some new big bug right before the final release...

I just got my laptop back from the shop and I'm reinstalling - just installed MOI (Dec 28th) and before I ran, I copied in the latest patch DLL.

I ran MOI and it claims the beta has expired? Is that it or did I do something wrong?

-Will

EDIT: WHOOPS! Never mind, apparently I grabbed the Sept 4th patch by accident...

Hi Will, the last beta is not due to expire until Feb 28th.

But it can get confused if your computer's clock is set forward. Please go to Start / Control Panel / Date and Time and make sure your computer's clock is set correctly, pay special attention to the month and year.

Once it has expired, it will stay expired even if you correct your clock - please send me an e-mail at moi@moi3d.com and I can help you get running again.

- Michael

Thanks, it's okay - I had copied the older patch DLL into the MOI folder. Once I copied the Dec patch, it started up fine!

I guess I didn't pay attention to which ZIP I dbl-clicked :-p (I deleted the old one to avoid that again.)
