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.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
