Control IDs in the skin editor were being mangled after editing.
BYOND Version:508
Operating System:Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Web Browser:Chrome 44.0.2403.157
Applies to:Dream Maker
Status: Resolved (508.1299)

This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary: In .dmf skins, editing a window/pane renames it to a long string of numbers. I'm using the latest beta, 508.1298.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
  • Create a new project and a new .dmf skin
  • Open the .dmf skin, open the default window and open the edit prompt
  • Exit the edit prompt and look at the window's name


Expected Results: Windows' names should remain intact.

Actual Results: Windows are renamed to random numbers, every time.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time.

When does the problem NOT occur? When not using the latest beta, 508.1298.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
The version prior to the latest beta.

Workarounds: None

Control IDs in the skin editor were being mangled after editing.
Descriptive Problem Summary:

When using the Dream Maker interface editor, attempting to assign any element (whether it be a window, button, label, anything) an ID will result in the ID being replaced by some weird, specific unsigned integer of sorts. Is the string split into multiple raw ASCII codes? No idea, but it seems pretty straightforward in this recording:

Posting this in Beta Bugs because it was not an issue until very recently.

A quick google and yeah, the string's being converted into ASCII decimals. Wonder how that happened.
In response to Doohl
Woops, I should've looked a little harder.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
I should note I'm using windows 10, so the problem could be exclusive to the OS. I haven't been able to test on others.

When setting a window ID from the dmf file, instead of changing to that ID it switches to a set of numbers.

Example: "main" turns into "10997105110", "test" becomes "116101115116"

Menus and macro IDs still work fine.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Create/Open interface file
Create/edit window
Change ID of window to anything

Expected Results:
ID changes to what it was intended to be.

Actual Results:
Some number translation.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Everytime
On other computers? N/A

Workarounds: Downgrade to a version below 508.1298
