I just tried to place some trees with biome tool in 0.37 but the tool window is just an empty black hole. Could someone do a quick test if it’s working? Thanks in advance.
I see some lua errors in the log for the world editor related to biome tool. Here is the most obvious trying to set bool values with the SetInt function which leads to a type error: Spoiler: lua errors Code: 68.18035|E|GameEngineLua:Exception| [string "lua/common/extensions/ui/imgui_gen_luaintf.lua"]:1933: bad argument #2 to 'SetInt' (number expected, got boolean) =============== Stack Traceback >> START >> (1) C function 'function: 0x01ddfdd2e3f0' (2) method C function 'SetInt' (3) Lua field 'ImGuiStorage_SetInt' at line 1933 of chunk 'lua/common/extensions/ui/imgui_gen_luaintf.lua' ImGuiStorage_ctx = userdata: (...)

File: (your installation path may vary) "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\lua\common\extensions\ui\imgui_gen_luaintf.lua" Code: function M.ImGuiStorage_SetInt(ImGuiStorage_ctx, ImGuiID_key, int_val) ImGuiStorage_ctx:SetInt(ImGuiID_key, int_val) end The change: Code: function M.ImGuiStorage_SetInt(ImGuiStorage_ctx, ImGuiID_key, int_val) if type(int_val) == "boolean" then int_val = int_val and 1 or 0 end ImGuiStorage_ctx:SetInt(ImGuiID_key, int_val) end It just converts bool values to int values (0,1) in the SetInt function. But it would be better to fix it at the callers place to have a clean solution: 'setHeaderState' at line 2991 of chunk 'lua/ge/extensions/editor/biomeTool.lua'
I really don't understand how bugs like this remain unaddressed. It's the same as with the autosave bug I've reported months ago. People like you post so much on the forum and are very active in the community, yet when it comes to bugs we're just ignored... We should try to push for the creation of a Discord server or channel where experienced modders can directly interact with the BeamNG devs to create a win-win environment: they get good bugs reported quickly and we contribute to fixing and keeping our mods run smoothly.. .
Perhaps its because that I didn't post it to the troubleshooting section of the forum. Or its lower priority because of the many things the devs have to do on the gameplay side. But you are right that often at the very obvious points there is no reaction from the devs.
You also linked it in the 0.37 discussion thread. So, I think it's possible to find and read it here.
