Inserting objects causes Radiant to crash

OMG Diablo · Post by **OMG Diablo** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 2:42 pm

whenever I insert an object the whole program crashes and windows tells "me sorry for the inconvenience" I bet its not sorry!

Has this happened to anyone or does anyone have any suggestions please?

well,radient isnt exactly a "stable" program .its very buggy in alot of cases .but u will have to learn to avoid such cases.

Hmm, thats wierd

. Try doing a reinstall of radiant. If that doesn't do it, make a clean install of mohaa and run off that for radiant.

EDIT: Whoops, me and M&M just posted at the same time. Yeah a general summary would have sufficed.

M&M · Post by **M&M** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 3:53 pm

i would have prefered a hardware list but i managed to extract it out of that report
and thats one sweet comp man.
anyways have u tried reinstalling radient? it seems like its corrupted . adding an info_player_start shouldnt be much of a problem .so try reisntalling .

edit:
lol,we posted the same idea at the same time

OMG Diablo · Post by **OMG Diablo** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 3:59 pm

thats one sweet comp man

thanks

I've tried reinstalling Radiant eariler and I do use a clean install for it but still no luck

I would install spearhead again for another clean install but my AA disk is ****ed

I've tried a new map and it will allow me to add a player

I've run an evil entity patch and a duplicate patch but it still doesn't work

M&M · Post by **M&M** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 4:03 pm

wait a minute,what radient are u using exactly?
cause there is a special one for spearhead.and one for mohaa.
if ur not using spearhead's sdk then get it from the main page(or the files section),i remember seeing a link to it.

OMG Diablo · Post by **OMG Diablo** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 4:10 pm

I'm using the SDk one

If you could add to another map, it sounds like a corrupt map file, try opening the .bak file.

M&M · Post by **M&M** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 4:15 pm

well,if u were saying that adding to a tottally new map causes the error than i guess there is a very severe problem and i cant think of how 2 solve it
but if it was adding 2 a map already,than blue's suggestion should work.
however if both failed then its always helpful 2 know that no bug can escape a reformat

OMG Diablo · Post by **OMG Diablo** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 4:19 pm

No, it will work on a totally new map

My .bak file doesn't work either

blue60007 · Post by **blue60007** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 4:25 pm

OH, another thing. Check any existing entities and see if you stuck any quotes into the key/values that can screw up your entities...

OMG Diablo · Post by **OMG Diablo** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 4:37 pm

I've checked them all but nothing

blue60007 · Post by **blue60007** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 4:40 pm

Hmm...

I would filter out the entities then copy all the brushes into another map and reinsert the entities.
