DarkRadiant crashes upon selecting "Insert prefab..."


Recommended Posts

Out of nowhere, DarkRadiant started to crash whenever I right click on a map and select "Insert prefab...", although all other menus are fine. I say out of nowhere because a few days ago this would not happen... and since then I have not recompiled DarkRadiant or made any changes to it, making this even more unexplainable. I even tried with a new user.xml settings file, then updated and completely recompiled DR, yet same thing. Any thoughts on what this could be?

My guess is it'll be particular prefabs doing this rather than prefabs in general. Have you retried one that worked a few days ago?

 

Don't know how, since the crash occurs the moment I open the menu, I don't have a way to select another one and see. But I already tried with clear new settings... the last selected prefab should have been lost if it was that.

There are other known prefab crashes (#4136). The prefab editor needs a good review.

Worth noting that was just specific entities while I was making those containers. Some are fine, some cause crashes, assumedly depending on complexity.

And just as suddenly as it appeared, the error disappeared. There is now no more crash, and the prefab browser works fine like at first. I made no changes to DarkRadiant and this was independent of the saved settings and map loaded, so it remains a big mystery.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?
