Beta 4 Bug: ToD Crashes

by Jordan Parsons · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/17/2009 (8:16 pm) · 7 replies

Bug: Adding a Time of Day object to a new project crashes the editor.

What I did:
- Created a new project
- Edited an existing level "newMission"
- Removed the Sun object
- Removed the Skybox object
- Added Scattersky object
- Added ToD object

Result:
Editor crashed.

What I've done since:
Tried to simply add a ToD object without Scattersky - same crash result.

My GPU specs:
512mb PCI-Express 2.0 KFA2 GeForce 9800 GT Video Card w/ updated drivers.

Try adding this line to Sun::onRemove.
TimeOfDay::getTimeOfDayUpdateSignal().remove( this, &Sun::_updateTimeOfDay );

That seems to have fixed the crash I was having ... and doesn't day-to-night look nice.

Sun::onRemove should look like this:

void Sun::onRemove()
{
   removeFromScene();
   Parent::onRemove();
   TimeOfDay::getTimeOfDayUpdateSignal().remove( this, &Sun::_updateTimeOfDay );
}

And you compiled everything properly?
