Good to know. Had this problem when I ran Kubuntu a while back. The windows version ran fine through wine though, so I used that instead. Thanks!

Where do we get it, though? Please, regard me as a stupid person (for the time being, anyway) I thought the PPA only provided the latest version. Changing the Ubuntu Version to Raring does nothing but install a couple of libraries, it doesn't change the DR version. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't 'un-install' first.... But I can't install the 1.8 version anyway because of dependencies that cannot be resolved.

That's a good idea. Worthy of investigation imo.

I was going to say: Make sure you've installed the proprietary drivers to your video card, because that fixed things when I was experiencing something similar. But I'm not sure importing the map would've made any difference if that was the problem.

I tried re-compiling, but can't because of some unresolvable dependency. I don't know where to get hold of an older version.

Tried launching DR from the terminal and tried to add a func_emitter and this is what it spit out: (darkradiant:13327): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_view_set_fixed_height_mode: assertion 'gtk_tree_view_column_get_sizing © == GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED' failed (darkradiant:13327): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_view_set_fixed_height_mode: assertion 'gtk_tree_view_column_get_sizing © == GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED' failed Terminated Don't know if it helps to pinpoint the problem.

Don't know if this is related at all, but maybe there's an issue with wxwidgets and certain window managers or something of that sort. Wouldn't know the first thing about solving it though... https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1401092 https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1339539 It's a shame because it does make DR pretty much unusable as certain important functions cannot be accessed.

The paths are set correctly for me at least. Correction, 99.9% certain they are. Would one have access to any of the resources unless they were?

Sort of relieved I'm not the only one having issues with DR 2.0.2 from that PPA.

There are plenty of entities in the map. DR 2.0.2. And it always crashes when I try to add a particle. The list of available particles comes up and it's full of entries, but I can't click on them or close the window. Got a crash report and I found out where Ubuntu stores them (/var/crash/), but the file is quite big like 57Mb zipped.

Thank you. I'll try it out. Thank you. That's good to know.

Ok. This is solved. I used the command line when I first installed Dark Radiant. Decided to try and un-install and re-install it through the Synaptic Package Manager to see if it would solve some issues I've had and discovered there's a plug-in package that also needs to be installed (darkradiant-plugins-darkmod 2.0.2). Now I have Stim/ Response and the Readable Editor in the Entity menu.

I guess you're all tired of the same old questions, and believe me I understand. So, forgive my total ignorance on countless subjects, but sometimes (or rather most times) I need to ask. Firstly, does it make a difference performance wise if I make one large area and later divide it up into smaller sections vs. starting out with the smaller sections? I need a candle flame without any light sources attached. Preferably it should still glow. I have no idea what properties to delete, or how to otherwise create one. Perhaps there is one hidden in the hierarchy somewhere? That's it for now. Thank you!

Actually, sometimes when I try to add a prefab the list turns up empty as well and then DR crashes. I haven't gotten a crash report on these occasions though.

Agreed. The best solution is often the most elegant one. A thief stays out of the light and puts out the flames from a distance. Extensive object manipulation can swiftly become a mess, which is why I think I'll avoid the mechanic as much as possible in any missions I might make, even if many players expect to able to stack crates and pick up candles and carry them around.

So, my entity list comes up empty in all instances (just arrows), didn't think much of it as I haven't used it yet. But when I scrolled to the top of the list DR crashed and I got a whole bunch of information I can't decipher. Thought it might be of use, but unfortunately I can't copy and paste this text for some reason, so I took a screenshot of some of it. EDIT: Oh, it's Ubuntu 14.04 64bit.

I ran into a little problem while following a tutorial on the wiki page, where I needed to use the Readable editor which should have been located in the 'entity' menu. But there's none there, and there's also another one missing as well I hear. Maybe there's a problem with the desktop environment I'm using, which is Mate? First of all I need to know if anyone else is experiencing this problem and have a workaround/ solution. And secondly if there's a recommended desktop environment to use which won't cut off the menus if that's what is happening. Thank you. DR. 2.0.2 (X64) Ubuntu Mate 14.04 64bit.

Have updated my last post with a capture of the 'about' window. Maybe I've a wrong version anyway.

Yeah, DR 2.02... That's strange.

I'm trying to follow a tutorial on the wiki, but I can't find the readable editor. It's not in the 'entity' menu as stated.

I've a group of candles, but I only need one light source. How can I delete those that aren't needed?

So you could have a camera set up in an unreachable room somewhere on the map and have that textured onto a surface, like a window? Would that be able to move relative to the player somehow? I assume it would require a lot more horsepower certainly, but that could be quite useful in some instances.

Aye. The Talos Principle is an awesome gaming experience.

I can't count how many times I've s@#t myself because of that.

Hah! I didn't save the tdm_custom_scripts.script in the same folder. My bad, sorry for posting.
