Itches, Glitches & Anything Else...

[Dunedain19]

I have been having a lot of difficulty mapping since the update to 1.8.0 due to a two glitches.

 

1. Pressing 'W' after cloning a brush causes the engine to crash - this glitch is a new phenomenon

 

2. Sometimes, manipulating a patch vertex while in ('Q' mode) also causes DR to crash. This makes using patches impossible, because sometimes I will be able to successfully manipulate a vertex and then all of a sudden DR crashes and I lose all my progress.

 

3. Sometimes, simply drawing a new brush causes the engine to crash for no explicable reason

 

if anyone knows how to solve the above problems, I would really appreciate it because - as it stands - I cannot continue mapping.

Since 1.8.0. Dark Radiant doesn't remember my game settings. I have to re-setup my darkmod folder and the fms directory everytime I start DR or click preferences...

 

Another thing is that in the 2D-windows all brush lines disappear while I'm in Render mode (F3)

DR not remembering your settings is because somewhere in your path to your DR directory there is a " " (space).

 

Like C:\Program Files\ <--- no good. You can't have spaces in your DR directory path.

 

I also had this issue when I first set out

 

Just install DR in like C:\games\darkradiant or somewhere similar with no spaces.

 

Also, you don't want spaces in your path to darkmod.

What - really, are you serious!? This reminds me of MS DOS or something like that stuff

 

Why are there so many oldish conditions like "There has to be no space" or "The Folder must be named darkmod" ?? I know I grump on a high niveau right now, but seriously..

Well the idTech engine is quite an old piece of software. It's being worked on, I believe.

What causes previews to be stacked and fused together after prolonged use of entity / model viewer? I have to restart DR every now and then when it gets too difficult to actually preview objects anymore

Can you elaborate on this? What exactly is not being saved when DR has been installed in a path containing spaces?
