2.4 terrain painting error

[gordonramp]

Hi, Is anyone else getting an error like this.. When I create a terrain and select a base texture it applies fine but when I select a second texture and attempt to spot apply it, I get a 'Windows exception access violation' error on Mouse Up and the Editor crashes.?

[gordonramp]

I guess no-one else has noticed this. It's definitely an error. Other versions don't have the same issue. My system is very standard so that means version 2.4 is unusable for me. I must say, this does not inspire much confidence for the upcoming version 3.0. I expect it will be buggy also.

[AggrorJorn]

a pitty that you have these problems gordonramp. I tried several textures with new scene but I never experienced a crash. Could you place the engine log.

[gordonramp]

Hi Aggror,

Here is the Editor Log... something amiss with the shader perhaps.

 

I have a clean install of the LESDK 2.4.

Latest Nvidia drivers

No other versions of the LESDK on the drive.

[diedir]

you need to update one more time because Josh made some new terrain tweaks some days ago

 

update and the shaders pak will be up to date.

 

hope it helps

[gordonramp]

Hi diedr,

Just updated again. There was a change to the Editor but it hasn't made any difference. Still the same error on Mouse Up. So I did a clean install to another computer. Similar video card but running XP instead of Windows 7. Same result.

[AggrorJorn]

Do you have any object scripts that you recently made added to scripts folder? I am trying to think of why it would crash. Sometimes a weird object script can have problems with shaders.

[gordonramp]

No, It's a clean install. Just what arrives from Josh. None of my stuff at all. I've tried the SDK in C:\ and in C:\Program Files. The default download is to

C:\Leadwerks Engine SDK so that's where I've been mainly testing it. The examples work fine but I'm unable to use the Editor to paint a new terrain.

[Michael Betke]

I use terrain painting a lot but had no problems with it. I had other issues but they seem to be solved now. But I'll have to paint lots of terrain today and will keep my eyes open.

[gordonramp]

Thanks Michael. This is rather frustrating. I can only assume that there is a bug for my particular Video card. I could go back to a previous version. Not sure how to proceed at the moment.

[AggrorJorn]

You are not the only one having a problem with these shaders errors.

[GIMPY73]

I also get the same error as Gordon.

 

Thanks

Gimpy73

[AggrorJorn]

Gordon has an nVidia graphics card so ATI is not the problem this time. What kind of graphics card do you have Gimpy?

I suggest you both place a post in the bug tracker section if you haven't done so already.

[GIMPY73]

Hey Aggror , i also have nVidia (8800GT), im running win7 32bit.

 

Ive tried running it in full screen or windowed mode and still get the same error.

 

Not to fussed at the moment as im not using LWE a great deal.

 

Just thought i would try and help Gordon out

 

Thanks

Gimpy73

[gordonramp]

Glad I'm not on my own with this. Have filed an error in the Bug Tracker.

[macklebee]

Just noticed something as well with the new Editor... scripts that work just fine with the Editor from the end of July but now do not behave correctly with the latest editor...

 

Josh what was changed in the editor???

[AggrorJorn]

What kind of behavior do you have Mack?

[macklebee]

setting a value from the properties dialog doesn't work anymore with the new editor... if i replace the current editor with the editor from July it works just fine...

[macklebee]

Actually along with this new editor, I get the same crash as gordon does with mouse up on painting the terrain... along with my script not changing a material texture via the property dialog. If I use the editor from 7/31/10, then everything works fine.

 

So I guess the question is: What was the latest change that Josh made to the editor? because whatever it was it farked ****e up...

[AggrorJorn]

terrain data that is no longer stored in raw files according to the status update from Josh

[macklebee]

where is this? and in any case this is something thats changed since 2.4 came out. Like I said, if I use the editor that you can currently download for 2.4, terrain painting and my scripts fail. If I use the editor that came with the original 2.4 download, everything works correctly.

[Marleys Ghost]

if i replace the current editor with the editor from July it works just fine...

 

 

Yeah .. I know that face.

[macklebee]

also, something else thats been added to the 2.4 editor is now when the Show Physics option is turned on the physics body for the terrain is showing. Only problem is that it drops the fps to single digits making the editor basically useless. Before 2.4, turning on the Show Physics just applied to everything except the terrain, which actually made it a useable option.

[Paul Thomas]

I also get these errors/bugs.

[macklebee]

terrain painting issue is resolved now with latest editor (and shader.pak?) update... but my script issue still remains. Has something changed with scripts/property dialog recently?
