Posting this here for posterity, mainly.

 

I've been running into problems with LW occasionally, where character models stop loading for some reason. They would start to load and then LW would crash. There was no indication of why or which models this would start happening to (though it was always AI models).

 

I was working on the builder guard this morning--or more correctly, trying to, because the same thing started happening--I couldn't load the mesh without LW crashing.

 

Did some research and found that LW sometimes does not play nice with ATI cards.

 

I noticed that the crash seemed to happen after the the mesh was displayed in both the top two windows, but before it was rendered in the perspective window, which was set to display the texture wire (the other two were set to wireframe).

 

I changed the perspective window to wireframe, and the model loaded without problem. Changed it back to texture wire after it was done loading, and there were no problems.

 

So for some reason, loading the textures caused the crash (it seems).

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      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!
