[Crash] Imported HD models crash the editor

[duke_nukem]

Trying to open them crashes the editor. Is there a workaround for this? I'm pretty sure the older versions of WC3R didn't have this problem.

Are the models 100% safe? It only takes one corrupted/not properly setup model to cause a crash

 

[duke_nukem]

I tested that model on an earlier reforged build and it was fine.
Forgot to mention that this only happens with HD models. I'm not use to working with them, so maybe something is misconfigured in the preferences menu or wherever. That said, it did work fine on one of the earlier versions (1.32 or so I think).

 

[Chaosium]

Heh, not used to HD models either, so not quite sure how to fix that, especially if the map can't be opened anymore <<

 

[duke_nukem]

I have backups, but it doesn't matter. It happens on fresh maps as well.

you could try deleting war3map.j (i think that's where the models are saved) with a MPQ editor then opening the map.

or delete all .mdx and .blp files from the MPQ. Something like that is the first idea off the top of my head. Haven't tested just an idea.

 

[duke_nukem]

That would only help me salvage the map, but I already have backups. The problem is that I can't use HD models at all if this bug can't be avoided.

 

[Chaosium]

Do you have "asset mode" set to HD? I'd be surprised if that would outright crash the map but who knows

Also I believe there was something about "Popcorn SFX" and map crashes in Reforged, hopefully Google will be able to tell you more

 

[duke_nukem]

Yeah, it's set to HD. Setting it to SD seems to only cause it to crash without an error message.

 

[duke_nukem]

If this is not a widespread bug, the only thing I can think of is that this might be some sort of a registry issue, but who knows.

If you fix this somehow please update
