Editor
Versions
- Crashes - 1.1.4/1.1.6/1.2.8
- Works (with problems) - 1.2.5beta/1.2.7
Bugs
Notes
- Editor needs to be on the same disk as the Game, as the modding tools use the base games files - they both install to the same folder, and that only works if they are on the same disk
- On map save overwrites settlements.xml (crashes if this file is not present or has errors)
- On map save Editor does not write/update/generate settlements_distance_cache.bin
NPC99: Saving uses extra memory. So, sometimes if you are over 80% use of your RAM its worth waiting for 10 minutes or so for the idle Editor to release some memory before saving.
High CPU usage
In the Visibility tab turn off Game Entities, Helpers and Shadows
Looking down to the ground also helps, so no entities will be visible.
Problems/Solutions
Use ButterLib or attach dnSpy to the game to catch the crashes. Do not use both at the same time, dnSpy gets confused.
Does not start
- If installed on another drive than the main game it will not start
- Version mismatch with the base game - does not start at all, no process - install same version (not always true)
- Hanged previous process - Close on Steam or check the Task Manager, kill the old process
Closes when Play button is clicked

Editor Crashes
Crash when trying to import PNG texture
Sometimes shows this before crashing:
Reason: non-latin letter(s) in the folder's name from which PNG is imported
Crash when deleting used texture
After crash/restart Texture appears deleted
Crash on the map save
-
settlements.xml missing from /MOD/ModuleData folder
-
When there is some error in the XML files (settlements.xml?) Double < Settlements/> for example
-
Last line in the log: opening ../../Modules/MODULE_NAME/ModuleData/settlements.xml - missing settlements.xml
Crash on the interior scene save
PSA: for scenes crashing on saves - add a terrain, even if your scene is interior and you would normally not need it
can be really small, like 2x2, 16 node dimension
and just hide it away in a corner of the map or put entities on top of it
terrain present in scene = no crashing on save
Crash when deleting the paint layer
No solution yet. Can't delete the layer...
Log shows: [22:19:02.024] rglTerrain_shader_generator::handle_mesh_blend_state : 0.012403
Crash on exit
Reason: ??
Game crashes
- Not fully saved map - could be the reason that game was active/loaded/in progress when map was saved. Exit the game, then save the map in the Editor. Check map folder, should see following files:
Hangs on map save in the Editor
Possible causes:
- Too much terrain editing (Smoothing?)
- Erasing a lot of info on some layer
To cancel the Save, use X from the Taskbar:
Try to save again.
NOTE: after the save Editor often crashes. (At least you saved your last changes)
Controls stops to work
Reload/Restart?
Assert Spam
Spams ASSERT windows on start.

This one because in file project.mbproj
Good:
<base type="solution">
<Module id="soln_physics_materials" name="ModuleData/physics_materials.xml" type="physics_material"/>
<file id="soln_face_animation_records" name="ModuleData/NoBigSmiles.xml" type="face_animation_record" />
</base>
Bad (with assert spam):
