i cand get the new editor to do anything but crash, ive lost 3 maps now, DESPITE having autosave on 1 min they still never saved and when it crashed (every 10 min or so) I lost everything.

[jihad]

 I don't get it? I've worked over an hour at a time, the only crash I've had is with the clouds button.

[TheWobble]

it chooses who it wants to crap on, Me and Nuttz are its favorites.

I've been falling on both sides of the fence with the TE for the last few months for many reasons. I tried to work with this the last 3 hours, and have finally fell on one side of the fence. Unfortunately it's not in favor of me working with this in the future. My account with HTC is exhausted as well as my patience for the TE. It was fun while it lasted, But it is time to move onto future projects.
<S> you mapmakers.

What's the problem you're having?

Problems? Here's a short list:

1.) Editor crashes when removing the first field's tower to replace it with the tower already present.

2.) Editor crashes when autosave is activated.

3.) Editor crashes when you try to copy objects.

4.) Editor locks up, then crashes when trying to edit a different terrain than the last one you worked on.

1.05p6 bug I posted in the Bug Board:

Unless you use a terrain made for 1.05 AH will crash within 20 minutes. Happens all the time, regardless of whether or not you're doing something. Flying, fighting, whatever, it dies. I had it crash twice when in flying in Luzon 2 offline, once when trying to fly in Stalingrad.

PS, 10Bears the field near the SW Ocean in Stalingrad is broke. You start from the snow and not on the field. I forget the name, but it starts with an "R".

Flak,

Instead of deleteing that tower, move it!
Drop a field as close as you can to that location, delete the new field tower, move the original one over to the field.


Editor does like to CTD on delete of more than 3 items. Don't know why, but thats what it's doing here.

As to the TE crashing when working on a diff terrain, have you tried going into settings folder and changeing the file name there first?

[flakbait]

That's what I said Ghosth. When I killed the new tower the TE crashed. After I finally got around it crashing I would move the field to the new tower. It crashed again when I tried moving the tower, and not the field, to the new location. Although I did find a way around the mode switch crash. Wait until it auto-saves, provided you can get it to do that without dying.

Like I said, until this gets fixed I'm leaving the terrain making up to the lunatics.

The first thing I would do before starting to laying textures or even putting in objects or shapes is to go to EDIT OBJECTS and delete the tower that is there and immediately put in an airfield over the spot where it was.
( try airfield AFLrg-S ).

Then if you switch back to EDIT TERRAIN see if your editor crashes back to the desk top.

Also just for fun (haven't done this test for myself yet), if you done the step above and your editor didn't crash then delete that airfield (vehicle part also) and immediately place another airfield.  See if this crashes the editor.  Keep doing this to each group (note:  group must have tower in it ... all the airfield in old editor do but haven't look at new editor yet) until you see which one crashes your editor.

I think AFFWD-1 and AFMED-1 could be problems.  You can open then with notepad.

Natedog then share your knowledge.
Do your tiles flip to other tiles ( not at distances) but close up?
Do your tiles go clear? ( Example: the MA does this also)
All of my problems i have basically are NOT tile related, but feild placement. People have been posting what to do and how to fix the feild problems by using Word or notebook, but i don't understand what i am looking at. I have no idea what half the buttons do in the TE, I can place tiles after that,, all hell breaks loose. You have some people working with the TE that are willing to share info and help, and many others that won't. By now, you can see that there are a few diehards that really want to help and despite all our pissin' and moanin' stuck around and produced some nice terrains. Any bones or tidbits of information that you can pass our way would be greatly appreciated.

here's all I know: only use the sf fields....all of them work.
do not rotate the fields.
if the tiles start looking strange, exit out and come back in.
I never lost any work doing it like that.
that's all the tips I know.
