Recently, Whenever I make a map with vertex paint, it dosn't work.

I used to do it all the time, now when I load the map in LE, it would suddenly crash to desktop with no warnings, or error messages. One second it would be loading the terrain, the next second I am on my desktop.

I don't understand why this is happening. I'm not using like textures the game dosn't have... (If it dosn't I put it in the editorcache) but I am basicly useing things like L05_Grass.. and stuff...

Has this happend to anyone else? and if so, how can I fix it?

try this for any crashing.

Right click on the level edit icon(not shortcut or anything)

Go to the compatiblity tab and check off diasbble visual themes, hit apply, then ok and try it out. every time LE has crashed on me thats fixed it.

Nope, it didn't work..

It may just be the computer. I'll transfer it to my laptop, and test it there. That has been the solution to a few problems, like the interiors of buildings not showing up on my desktop, but they do in level edit.

You can find the installer here.
Look in the Editing Tools for "RenegadePublicTools2".

Also make sure that you're not running LE from TFD as it will cause it to crash when you try to load presets that "don't exist".
Just install the original Renegade into "Westwood\Renegade".

I have found in the past that level editor will crash if it can not find .w3d files, in the directory (EX. the CnC GDI APC "v_gdi_apc_m" is located in the always2.dat [this file is created with renegade's final patch] but when level editor tries to load it from "vehicles\gdi apc\v_gdi_apc_m.w3d" it can not find it because it is looking in the always.dat instead of always2.dat and so it crashes).

Also it will also crash if one mesh is to complex, the easiest way to see if this is the cause is to open the .w3d file (in W3D Viewer) open the objects Hierarchy and click on the object. IF it crashes chances are that one of the meshes is to complex. Then all you would have to do is open the Mesh category and open each mesh one by one, until one crashes it. The one it crashes on will be the one that is to complex. To correct this you could either divide the mesh into multiple meshes or optimize it. The only problem is that you will have to redo the vertex paint on the mesh(es).

HA, it works. Thanks for reminding me to divide the map into sections. Very Happy

(Btw, why does the edit button go away?)

I think there is a glitch with LE, if you use it for to long other buttons will disappear. Try resizing the window, that usually brings the buttons back.

easier way to do it... is to right click on the task bar, click "lock the taskbar", then right click, and click "lock the taskbar" again.

It refreshes the barr, so it goes back to normal.
