FIXED: Builder crash when adding a new tilemap or particle effect

by Jacopo De Luca · in Torque X 2D · 05/10/2009 (4:58 am) · 33 replies

Hi.
I've just upgraded to Torque X 2D and started playing with the editor.
The editor crashes as soon as I drag and drop a tilemap or particle effect on the scene.

This are the steps that I followed:
1) Created a new project with Visual C# 2008 express edition, using the "Starter Game 2d (3.0) Pro" model (named it MyTest)
2) Compiled it (debug mode) by pressing F5
3) Started the 2d builder (v3.0.0.0)
4) Opened the project
5) File->Open Scene-> leveldata.txscene (the GG logo shows in the editor)
6) Dragged the new tilemap layer from the dock to the scene.

At this point the editor crashes. (the same appens if I try to add a particle effect, but works correctly with the other standard objects)

Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Bye,
Jacopo

I'm new to these forums and a newbie to torque and game development. I currently cannot save my projects in Torque x2. I read in an earlier post that a fix was on the way. Where is the fix for the ConetentGenerator bug? An help would be greatly appreciated.

I was playing around with Torque x2, and found out that if you save the SCENE first THEN save the project, the error will not occur. I then went in to XNA studios to see if it actually saved, and I found that it did. I haven't done any further testing yet.

Justin, thanks for your quick response.

It looks like there was a problem with the last build of the 2D level designer. It looks like the problem has been fixed and the update release is going out today or tomorrow. This should address a number of problems, including the recent tilemap and particles crash.

The updated builder should be available or download now. Please try pulling down the latest Torque X 3.0 release and replace your current installation. This should fix the reported problems with the Tilemap and Particle Effects being added in the builder.

John,
Thank you very much for the quick fix. Just tested the latest install and can drag and drop new partical/tilemaps fine.

Thanks again!

Does anyone else show the new version of TXB2D as 2.0.0.0 in Help/About menu? Is this normal? It does show it was installed in the Torque X Pro 3.0\v3.0.0.0\TXB folder. It seems to be working okay so I'm not too worried about it but not sure.

Yes - it seems to even show TX 2.0.0.0 in the splash screen - the "old" version shows TX 3.0.0.0. Has there anything else been fixed/changed?

Funny, it's a new version, but it kept the old build info. I'm just pleased to hear that it's working as expected.

Cool thanks for looking into it. Double checked it twice before posting that to make sure I hadn't installed TX 2.0 again. Anyhow, sleep time, thanks all.

The new version works fine.
I have updated the post title to show that the problem is fixed.


Thanks,

EDIT

I've created a new thread for this post after realizing this one is flagged as "Fixed". New thread is here.

I apologize for posting it in the wrong location.
