DeskScapes 3 Beta 1 Bug reports

Thursday, August 20, 2009 by ZubaZ | Discussion: DeskScapes

A DeskScapes beta has been released.  This build has a new user interface, effects that can be applied to dreams, and works on XP, Vista, and Windows 7.  Sadly, the effects are Windows Vista and Windows 7 only.

Double-clicking a dream no longer loads a dream.  You will need to use the "Apply changes" button.

Post anything that looks odd.  Make sure to give us your system information including your video card, your OS (including 32 or 64 bit), and if it's hard to explain (or even if it isn't) a screenshot.

You may want to ensure you have the latest DirectX9 runtimes (even on Win7) by installing the following : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en

There is an issue on some machines with some dreams where the UI may crash out when it builds the dream list.  There will be an update on Friday morning to resolve this.

Hi, I am running Windows 7 x32 (MSDN), and I can't install the latest update for DeskScapes from Impulse, it just says that I have an invalid serial number, but all the other apps installed just fine!?? I have an Object Desktop Ultimate Subscription, that is valid until 2010...

 

What can I do to rectify this problem???

Neil,

I get the following error from DreamMaker 3 when trying to add additional content files on Hybrid Dreams.



I found a way around it by doing the following...

1) Click on the Hybrid Content button and choose the .hybrid file
2) Click on the Dynamic Content button and choose the .hybrid file
3) Click on the Hybrid Content button
4) At this point Dream Maker will allow you to add files in the Additional files box without the error

 

 

I have one question. What is a .hybrid file and how do you create it or get it? I want to make hybrid dreams.

There is a PDF in the Desscapes directory with instructions on making hybris dreams.  DreamMaker is there too.

I am definitely interested. Have you made any thus far? If so, can I see them by any chance?

Thank you Zubaz. Only one more question. How do you create the animated nwa files or can you use gifs too?

The NWA file can be created using the included utility NWABuild.exe located in the DeskScapes 3 folder.  It allows you to use .PNG or .TGA files to create the NWA file.  Then use DreamMaker to create the Hybrid dream using your NWA, etc..
