- Confirm fixed.

01:11 pm Bug #1804 (Resolved): If click in a dark area of starfield, get a segfault
- Got it. Had to explicitly write something to the buffer or got bogus data, but only on some platforms apparently :P P...
-
- Was finally able to reproduce on a different physical machine. This may kill the release for today. It's going to be ...
-
- No difference at 1920x1080 and no panels visible. It does not seem to be a pixel offset issue, as both clicking dire...
-
- Also, verify you don't have a gnome top-panel still visible when running NS12. That will mess things up.
-
- I still cannot reproduce. Tried a fresh Windows build and works fine. Can you try on a 16:9 monitor and see if that m...
-
- Let's discuss the issue in person and then decide what to do. Moving to PR2 for now.
-
- I removed my ~/.nightshade12 directory so that it was regenerated, and I see no change. Even if I click directly on ...
-
- Surprisingly, CEGUI does not take aspect ratio into account when auto-scaling. So, the same problem will occur for al...
-
- Ah, make sure you copy the database file from the source directory to your home directory. If you haven't done that, ...
-
- I think there's just a disconnect somewhere. Maybe a scene file or GLSL file wasn't updated on your side? I can't 'no...
-
- Actually it doesn't continue 'tracking'. It's the anchored node follow mode that has some of the same behavior as tra...
-
-
- Confirm resolved. However, it is quite difficult to select stars. You should be able to click a few pixels off and ...
-
- I am on a 16:10 monitor, so the logo gets squeezed a bit.
-
- If I search for Earth, it selects and tracks the Earth.
If I fly to the Earth, tracking continues but the track butt...

-
- Fix for #1775 should fix this as well.
-
- Mainly, this was due to missing state changes. There was no code to deactivate tracking when doing a left-button drag...
-
- Also made settings default to 'general' page upon opening. Previous behavior showed blank category on first open.
-
- Wasn't able to reproduce but could see how it could happen by inspection. Should be fixed. Please try to repro again ...
-
- A couple different problems here. First, some stars were too small compared to the scene and their bounding volumes c...
-
- Added atmospheric scattering algorithm credit/copyright notice to readme.
-
-
- If you go to Phobos and then search for Mars and speed up time fast enough with Mars tracked, Mars does not stay cent...
-
- Fixed by screen space picking rework.
-
- Closing as duplicate of #1791.
-
- Also cannot reproduce on mainline. Followed steps above and increased time well beyond 4x. Both Mars and the reticle ...
-
- General navigation should work properly for PR-1.
-
- Labels now match NS11. Also fixed alignment of galactic grid.
-
- Replaced trig angle check with quaternion. Fixed.
-
- Search for and fly to Moon. Moon is tracked.
Move view direction with left mouse drag. Tracking is turned off (cor... -
- Updated estimate for PR-2.
-
- I was able to fix this for the help window without much fuss. However, it appears to be a side effect of calling 'act...
-
- Atmosphere button is disabled for PR-1. More solid repro case for tracking please; click by click.
-
- Rotation offset changed to 89.3.
-
- Went ahead and implemented reading the values from the config file. It was quick to do.

-
- This is now merged to mainline. Much better behavior but still not perfect from within a planet's atmosphere during t...
-
- Found an indirect way of getting the interface I needed. Seems to be working well now. Unit tested picking stars, hal...
-
- Picking bodies is now working as well but hit another problem. osgEarth's shader injection model does not expose a me...

-
- The stars re-work is done and picking from the unsigned integer texture map is working for stars. Now back to the ori...

- That sounds right. However, eclipse features are targeted for future releases. Putting into PR4 where solar eclipse...

- Atmosphere code notice needs to get into README.

02:11 pm Bug #1803: Centered object does not stay centered when time is advanced
- This was OP5 hardware with the newest NS12 rollout you sent. Here was the exact repo case:
Find Mars (this will c... -
- I can not repro. Works fine for me. Could tracking have been turned off? Did you do anything besides just fly to M...
-
- Other than avoiding submitting a patch to OSG are there other reasons to use a texture? It seems like a small patch...?
-
- Yes, we will need the final position (and trajectory to get there) updated during flight to meet NS11 parity.
-
- The proposed fix for this, moving all picking to screen space based on IDs written to an integer texture is getting m...
-
- Also, this can happen with all objects. It's just more apparent with smaller objects.
-
- Not actually an 'overshoot'. The position is calculated before you start flying. One you get there, the object may ha...
-
- Go to Mars. Speed up time 3 times. Mars stays centered. Speed it up another time, and Mars starts wandering in the...
-
- Currently, if you center an object, and go-to before the object is fully centered, it is snapped to and then flown to...
-
- Start NS12. Find Phobos, Deimos, Hydra, Nix, and other small moons. Go-to the moon. The moon will be overshot unti...

- Go to Jupiter, Position Jupiter so that it lies in a straight line with the Sun. Back away from Jupiter. Jupiter's ...

- Go to Wazn. Find Betelgeuse. Go to Betelgeuse.
The star in the Betelgeuse system has overshot. When looking aro... -
- Go to star "Wazn". The inner color halo looks overly saturated in one of the color bands.
The colorign also provi... -
- It's difficult to determine what settings you want to use regularly as no value exists to always set to.
The values ... -
- The bloom effect is too strong by default making it difficult to see surface features of the body.
-
- The non-round nature of the moon at default level also causes eclipses to very poor on FoV zoom
-
- Set time to 00:30UTC on 05/10/2013.
Fly to earth
Moveto alt 0.001

-
- Haven't had time to really do a good test/debug pass on proper motion. Disabling for PR-1. Re-enable for PR-2.
-
- Now the milkyway sometimes 'punches through' the sun halo since, in the current color space, portions of that are jus...
-
- Hyperion is due to ehphemeris orbit line not being resampled (this feature is targetted to PR-3). Jupiter looks off b...
-
- Rob is following up with building out models for these with osgdem to remove normal artifacts.
-
- Set to user's home .nightshade12 directory for PR-1 (AppData\Local\Nightshade12 on Windows). Moving to PR-2 to addres...
-
- For PR-1 just change change to default color from NS11 rather than white. Reading these values from the config file h...
-
- It's something I considered but it's far from trivial. Everything renderable would then need to use MRT and have a re...
-
- Could it makes sense to extend the star picking buffer concept to include bodies as well? That would seem to remove ...
01/08/2013
-
- Beginning to zero in on a solution to this (also effects other planets). The cause is we're looking at whether or not...
-
- Can no longer reproduce last given case. Likely fix was the way strings were passed to SQLite layer. This was causing...
-
- Ended up waiting for the final OpenGL context to come up before displaying splash, made for cleaner code. So the spla...
-
- I will investigate the model creation process.
-
-
- When atmosphere is on, it's an entirely different custom lighting model. When atmosphere is off, osgEarth's internal ...
-
- These two bodies are drawing poorly. Very polygonal and poor normals. Seem to require the fix for this that worked ...

-
- Europa had a secondary problem which was simply that the root file, europa.osgb was missing from the install directive.
-
- Something strange with the way osgEarth's shader injection system keeps track of textures was going on here. Bodies u...

-
- Feels really good to close this one ;)

-
- Sometimes star will not even be visible.
-
- Sometimes rotation is subtle and then suddenly flips, other times it is more constant.
If you speed up time, the...

-
- Right, this is after flight ends. Fly to a body, and change altitude to get fairly close. Usually I change lat/lon ...
-
- You don't mean 'during' flight correct? During animated flight you cannot move around with the mouse and it is not ob...
-
- Seem to be hard coded.
-
- Fly to Saturn, try to select a bright moon. Nothing happens.
-
- This is making testing difficult, and use annoying. Affects more than just Earth, take Saturn for example.
-
- With a quick look I do not see any huge problems. But I also can not label, see, or select moons other than through ...
-
- Arthur, your screenshots never uploaded. Are you able to post those again?
-
- Current rotation offset should be 89.3 degrees.
