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.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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!
