Cool VL Viewer forum

Good morning!

I copied the Genx and Genx2 skins from the Genesis Viewer (Windows-only spin-off of the Singularity Viewer) into CoolVLViewer's skins folder and made a symbolic link from the Genx2 folder to custom, then selected "custom" as skin of the CoolVLViewer. The viewer starts and the skin seems to be applied, however when I try to connect to the world I get an unrecoverable error: "ERROR: bindToControl: Control named MiniMapThisRegion not found.", with which the viewer crashes. I am attaching CoolVLViewer.log and stack_trace.log.

Thanks.

It is totally normal that an unrecognized (inexistent) debug setting leads to a (voluntary) crash !

You just CANNOT import skins from (any) other viewers without checking first and foremost that it does not use unknown settings names, or lacks settings names used by the Cool VL Viewer...

Adapting a skin from another viewer means ironing out all discrepancies, and is certainly not a "plug and play" process (it is not because a viewer is "v1" that its skin will match the Cool VL Viewer requirements and expectations: the latter evolved during 16 years, while the former are not even truly "v1" anyway; e.g. Singularity backported v2 UI code, when I instead fixed/expanded/evolved (genuine) v1 UI for the Cool VL Viewer).

I thought so. I'll have to compare then line by line then. All right, thanks.

Under Linux 'diff' is your friend !

I did it
