Instant Crash when clicking Patch > Create Bevel

[DoubleOhZero]

Hi all,

 

Newb mapper here. Just got started experimenting with patches.

 

I'm following the instructions on http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Patches

and have done everything up to clipping off the corner.

 

Problem is, as soon as I click on Patches > Create Bevel, DarkRadiant crashes. Every time.

 

Any ideas? Are there logs I need to attach?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi there. What version of DR are you using, and what do you have selected when you click it?

[DoubleOhZero]

DR 2.0.2 x86

 

I select a cube brush along a diagonal, clip it with shift-enter, deselect all, select the one right-triangle-shaped brush, drag it away slighty, then go Patch > Create Bevel

 

Then it crashes.

 

EDIT: Patch > Create Simple Patch Mesh, Patch > Create End Cap, Patch > Create Cone/Cylinder ALL cause a crash

 

EDIT2: Every operation regarding patches causes an instant crash

I think (from memory) that you are supposed to select the cut face of the wall brush (the face, not the whole brush) where you want the bevel, rather than the cutaway piece.

 

Either way it shouldn't crash.

 

There are some unresolved issues with DR 2.0.2. You might have better luck with 2.0.1.

DR 2.0.1 test

 

Clip, deselect, select brush, Patch > Create Bevel results in a crash

Clip, deselect, select face(s), Patch > Create Bevel results in a crash

 

I've really tried all different ways of doing this, even Create Simple Patch Mesh fails

 

Is there a crashlog I can attach that can help diagnose this issue?

 

EDIT: DR 2.0.0 and 1.8.1 have the same issue

I can't help with a crash log. I haven't worked on DR. Let's wait to see whether others have more suggestions when the forum gets busier later.

Thank you!

What OS and GPU are you using?

[DoubleOhZero]

Windows 7, using a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop with a ATI X1400

Does the crash happen if you disable Desktop compositing effects?

[DoubleOhZero]

The crash happens with or without compositing

[DoubleOhZero]

I've been playing around with DR a bit more and I managed to get it to make a Simple Patch Mesh once without crashing - so whatever is causing the issue is intermittent (althought I only came right once)

 

Also, the camera view has started doing this: (unless I have a brush selected and translate mode on, in which case its fine. In fact, all of the rendering modes are messed up UNLESS I have a brush selected in translate mode.)

 

 

 

I'm completely at a loss. Any ideas?

[DoubleOhZero]

Uninstalled and reinstalled DR 2.0.2, 2.0.1 and still the issues remain.

 

Anyone have any ideas? If I can't get this working, there's little point in working with DR anymore.
