I added a boatload of entities and models to my map yesterday while decorating. Afterward, dmap crashed.

 

It took an hour of debugging to determine that decorative/vases/pot_ceramic_open was the culprit. I created a new map with a single room and this vase in it, and it crashed dmap.

 

Is there a list of known problems such as this?

 

Or is this a surprise?

 

dmap crashes right after the message "FixGlobalTjunctions".

As far as I know, it is not yet known. Could you please add it to the tracker: http://bugs.angua.at/my_view_page.php

 

Thanx!

Well, I went to add to the buglist, and I don't see a "new issue" button. So I assume I have to log in to file a new issue. Tried to create a new account, but the visual check thingy doesn't work. In Firefox, two words with a total of 14 chars are presented, but the form takes no more than 5 chars, which isn't enough. I tried using IE, but that didn't even show the words to enter.

 

So either someone needs to explain how I do this, or someone needs to do it for me.

 

thanks

I think the module that does captcha broke when Mantis was updated a week or so ago, certainly doesn't return anything to me.

 

For now I'll just verify the issue over here and try get some more details, else I will get the info from you. So should be a ticket in a few minutes :)

 

Edit : Just tested, crashes when dmapping, report going up now.

 

Thanks for the report!

So it crashes for you too when you have that pot in a map?

I remember having a similar crash last week. It seemed to be related to DR-autogenerated inverted end caps, the ones that are so useful for archways. I created only two, copied, rotated and resized them a few times wich chrashed dmap.

 

Rebuilding them manually out of a normal patch fixed the problem. Twice. Just reporting this in case it is related.

 

The "FixGlobalTJunctions"-message was not the part where dmap failed -- it just took very long there (minutes). Waiting revealed it was actually a malloc error.

Fixed that problem. The captcha generator was referring to TTF paths it wasn't allowed to browse.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
