You can download the T3 files by going to:

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentemplot/

Having got it, save it in an empty folder somewhere and extract all the contents.

Then in Lazarus open the file:

 templotmec.lpi

Do Run > Build and then if you get a green in the Messages, do Run > Run without Debugging.

For more about getting started with Lazarus, see:

 topic 3283

You should then see:

2_111228_410000000.png2_111228_410000000.png

The extra window is the console host window. On most systems it should automatically minimize to the task bar, but if it doesn't you can minimize it manually. But don't close it, because that will close T3 (instantly, without the usual confirmation about saving your work). Even if you leave it there, it will be hidden behind the trackpad while you are using T3.

It's a temporary fix to get round the issue of excessive CPU usage when T3 is running stand-alone. When we have found the proper fix for that, it will no longer be needed.

This is NOT the first release of Templot3, you are not intended actually to use it. Lots of stuff isn't yet working. It is just my working files as of today. You can see what changes have been made in them by selecting one in the list on SourceForge and clicking the History tab. Then click the Compare button.

And having seen the changes, how about pasting some of your own here? I will merge them in and upload them next time.

Nor is it a full release, so the NLS map screenshot helper exe is not included.

An important change is that I have changed the native file extensions from  .otbox,  .otbgs,  .otcal  to  .box3.bgs3.cal3 .

If you have created any earlier data files, you will need to rename them as above in order to use them.

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

Not got much time today but ( after your prompt :) ) downloaded the files from SourceForge. Created a folder for them and extracted all the files. Upon opening file I get this :-

2001_131731_190000000.jpg2001_131731_190000000.jpg

and then :-

2001_131733_290000000.jpg2001_131733_290000000.jpg

Help ? I have Lazarus V1.6.4 if that matters.

Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the report. I'm using Lazarus 2.0.4 and not seeing that. So the first thing to try would be upgrading?

 http://www.lazarus-ide.org/

When I upgraded it went quite smoothly. :)

cheers,

Martin.

p.s. after upgrading you will need to reinstall HtmlViewer.

Package > Online Package Manager

Select HtmlViewer on the list, then Install > from Repository. Just follow the defaults. :)

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the reminder about that. I am now on the same version as you after a re-install of Lazarus. Seems odd that a version downloaded a few months back now is so out of date.

Program builds and runs just fine. The only thing I did notice was some over-written text in the Storage Box :-

2001_131930_120000000.jpg2001_131930_120000000.jpg

Thanks for your efforts with Templot3.

Rob

Thanks Rob,

Yes, there are quite a few cosmetic glitches like that scattered through the program. They are not serious, it's just a matter of going through and finding them.

p.s. I inadvertently uploaded 2 files to SourceForge which should not be there and are not part of the program:

unit2.lfm
unit2.pas

They won't do any harm but it would make sense to delete them from your project folder. I have removed them from SourceForge.

cheers,

Martin.
