Prego! Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Ferla, I think we've fixed it. Download the following zip, and extract its contents to the "languages" subfolder inside your Flowcode v8 install folder (usually found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode v8\languages"), overwriting the existing FlowITIT.dll file inside that fol...

We're looking into it. If it's fairly easy to add, we should be able to get it in to our next release.

You're not being stupid! There is something a bit strange going on with the way it tries to convert variables it doesn't know about. Also, the workaround I suggested does not fix it, but does allow Flowcode to try to convert what it can (i.e. known variables and C constructs). Have a look at this pr...

The C-code conversion does not understand the dot notation (things like T1CONbits.TON) which is why it is failing. If you first replace the "." with "_" in those 3 lines of C code, then it should partially convert. You will be left with C code statements like "T1CONbits_ON =...

No need to uninstall - just run the 8.2 patch.

Great idea - thanks! I think having the browser window in the panel itself might be difficult, but we should be able to create a dockable browser window that is controllable via Flowcode.

We'll add this to our list of new features.

Hi Chris,

I did PM you about this when you originally posted, but I didn't get a response.

Regards,
Steve.

In your code, you are using constants to determine the position of the numbers within your data and I don't think these are set to the correct values. For example, you have the following: Weight_Str1 = Mid$ (Buffer1,Data_Start_Point,Data_Start_Length) Weight_Str2 = Mid$ (Buffer1,Data_End_Point,Data_...

Thanks, Jorgen. Glad we managed to fix it for you.

Thanks, Jorgen. This file should solve your problem: https://matrixts-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/steve_tandy_matrixtsl_com/EcXTMH3ZT_FAsFv7LrihzPAB9BbJmsGBtchfGTyhpkeH2Q?e=2tfRTo You will need to rename the extension to .exe, and then replace the existing FlowcodeV8.exe file on your PC (you ma...

Hi Jorgen, There are a few bits of information I need from you to proceed, which you can find by using a tool such as Realtech VR's OpenGL Extensions Viewer: http://realtech-vr.com/admin/glview Specifically, I need to know the version of OpenGL used on the problem PC and information about its capabi...

Hi Jorgen, That's strange - the problem we identified here only affects the OpenGL Software mode. Perhaps the Hardware more on your PC is not available or there is another problem preventing this. This will not be simple for us to solve, so you should either use your other PC or install the earlier ...

Hi Jorgen,

That's strange. We managed to replicate the problem with your program on a few PCs here.

Did you restart Flowcode and/or your PC? Also, when you restarted Flowcode, has the setting in Global Options permanently changed to the hardware mode?

Regards,
Steve.

Hi Jorgen, Thanks for the file. We've discovered the issue and there is a quick workaround - set the Graphics Engine to "OpenGL hardware" (this is in the "Application" tab of "Global Options"). We'll hopefully find a fix for the software mode over the next week or so, b...

Hi Jorgen,

Please attach (or PM) your Flowcode program so I can help solve your problem.

Regards,
Steve.

If Ben's topic doesn't help, then please PM me with the programs and I will have a look. There have been some changes behind the scenes with the 2D panel and your projects will help me determine what is going on.

Regards,
Steve.

Hi Jan, If you just want to display the divided number rather than do any maths on it, then you could do something like this: 1) convert the integer to a string: value_as_string = ToString$(my_int_value) 2) display the first part of the string: Left$(value_as_string, Length$(value_as_string)-1) 3) d...

Hi Martin, That's a good idea. I'm sure Ben and Leigh know a few tricks, but in the meantime, here's a possible workaround... 1) Create a variable and set it to zero ("IsSimulating = 0"). 2) Use a simulation event (e.g. Time::GetMillisecs) to set it to a value 3) Use an "if (IsSimulat...

Hi Martin, I've been looking into this and I don't think your suggestion will fully resolve the issue because the Z coordinate can be set by other means, but I have another suggestion. First of all, I'll explain the problem. On the 3D panel, there is a toggle button which looks like a solid cube whi...

Thanks for reporting this. We are currently going through each component to address issues like this and so I hope this should all be sorted over the next few weeks.

Hi Ferla,

One more thing to try. I've attached a program that contains a component with relative links to the meshes. Please unzip the attachment somewhere on your PC, then load the FCFX file in Flowcode and let us know if the meshes are being displayed.

Thanks,
Steve.

Hi Ferla. Hi Dave. Thanks for your collective patience and assistance in trying to resolve this issue. It is always tricky to solve when the problem happens on one PC and we cannot replicate the fault ourselves. The other things I would suggest is starting your PC in safe mode and seeing if that dia...

I've just thought it might be something to do with the translation DLL, but I've tried it in Italian and it still works for me. This seems very strange.

Are you experiencing this problem on other computers or just one?

medelec35 wrote:This maybe a keeping in focus issue?

This was happening to me as well. Basically, it seems like that "convert to mesh" window appears behind Flowcode's main screen.

@Ferla - is this what's happening to you too?
