Copying patches and no prefabs

[xav]

Hi, I'm new to DarkRadiant. I've been playing around with it, and there are some things I really want to do but can't:

 

1. Copying patches usually causes DR to crash. Not a huge issue, just frustrating if I'm working on vaulted ceilings. Does anyone know what causes this, or what I can do (save for fixing and recompiling) to keep the editor from crashing?

 

2. I can't load any prefabs. There are none in the directory, and everytime I try to import one, I get this message:

"Error stating file 'd:/doom3\darkmod\prefabs': No such file or directory"

At first I figured this was because of the slashes, but there is no prefab directory. The A-Z tutorial says I need a prefab to get a sky. I really want a sky ;-)

 

Also, I apologize if these have been asked before. I couldn't find either of these as topic headers, so I figured I'd ask again with a concise topic as they both seem to be problems anyone is likely to experience.

 

Thanks!

You need to extract the contents of tdm_prefabs01.pk4 first before you can browse them in DarkRadiant.

 

The DarkRadiant crash when cloning patches is already filed in our bugtracker, and I'm currently working on a fix (finally could reproduce that issue).

Not sure if this will help either of you, but I have the same issue with crashing patches when trying to duplicate one. I get around it by turning patches that I want to dup into a func_static. Not sure if this will cause a problem later on down the road, but for a workaround it works.
