TGEA 1.7.0 Beta 2 Bug - T3D Demo - World Editor Bug
by Matt Huston · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 03/29/2008 (2:38 pm) · 13 replies
When I enter the Mission, I immediately press F11 to go into the World Editor. The camera is still at the player, I have NOT pressed Alt + C to move into fly mode or anything. I hold Right Click and move the mouse and the following breakpoint is hit.
Specs again are AMD AM2 4200+, 8800GT with 512mb RAM, 2048mb DDR-800 RAM.
Picture are as follows. (1)In World Editor, have not pressed right click and moved mouse yet. (2) Breakpoint Hit (3) I've pressed Continue 1x (4) I've pressed Continue 2x
The error also occurs if I press Alt + C and move into fly mode. Whether I am looking at the polysoup model or not doesn't seem to effect it. If I move around and then enter World Editor, also happens...

What options did you compile with (other than raw DEBUG) mode, if any? Looking much closer, while you're getting render style bugs, the call stack you posted (nice screenshots by the way, helps a lot) is pointing at the Profiler, and what appears to be attempts to use your second CPU.

Hmm--those are some pretty unusual bugs, was hoping that we could point at Vista/DX9. Not sure what's up to be honest :(What options did you compile with (other than raw DEBUG) mode, if any?

If you look at my other error posted from Beta 1, I think that might have been related to multiple CPUs as well.

This is just a stock DEBUG build of T3D.exe unfortunately.If you look at my other error posted from Beta 1, I think that might have been related to multiple CPUs as well.

Any more information you can offer? Anyone else getting this?

Hmm...we can't reproduce this on our end...Any more information you can offer? Anyone else getting this?

Though while trying with this one I have found some shadow issues, do I need to fill new "bug report" about that or it's known bug (rendering bug)?

I'm not able to reproduce it on both of my dev machines (XP.SP2/GF8600GT and XP.SP2x64/GF8800GT).Though while trying with this one I have found some shadow issues, do I need to fill new "bug report" about that or it's known bug (rendering bug)?

And, I've found another bug, right after another debug session on exit I got it crashed with message "texture object leak".
Details:
The debug build was made by running the "compile.bat VS2005 Debug" in T3D/buildFiles/ folder.
Though there was an error message while compiling:

Nope. similar to shadow flickering in TLK.. don't remember where I've seen that..And, I've found another bug, right after another debug session on exit I got it crashed with message "texture object leak".

Go into sgLightManager::deactivate() and add cleanup(); right at the bottom of the function.

I've got the texture leak bug fixed.Go into sgLightManager::deactivate() and add cleanup(); right at the bottom of the function.

Nice. thanks! Seems like this one is fixed - can't reproduce it anymore, though tried only 5 times:).

I have attempted removing all items except the following and still crash.
ScriptObject(MissionInfo)
MissionArea(MissionAreaObject)
Sky(GlobalSky)
SimGroup(PlayerDropPoints)
SpawnSphere()

Little update that might help reproduce my error. Specifically once I am in the World Editor, I look down (Holding Right Click and moving Camera to look straight down) this is when the World Editor crashes.I have attempted removing all items except the following and still crash.
ScriptObject(MissionInfo)
MissionArea(MissionAreaObject)
Sky(GlobalSky)
SimGroup(PlayerDropPoints)
SpawnSphere()

Well here is somewhat of a breakthrough, this ONLY happens when I use the Spacesuit avatar.

Did a fresh install of Windows XP and installed the November 2007 SDK (as recommended by the docs) and I haven't had this problem crop up. I previously was using x64 XP with March 2008 SDK.

If you have Vista, have you (manually) installed the DX9.0c SDK and/or redistributable?
