Well, my Tagdatabase folder doesn't have a StaticMesh subfolder.

It's the staticmeshes folder full of *.tim files you want, and mine doesnt seem to have an AI_Weapons bit either (that might be how it thinks of it in the editor, rather than the file structure).

Ok, new problem. I decided to reinstall everything because somehow things had obvious gotten messed around. So Ted is working. However, when I try to open a saved map, be it my own (incredibly tiny little thing) or one from the game, the editor shuts down, no error message or anything. The only thing I get is Window's standard message when things fail about if I want to send a report to Microsoft.

I figure this may have something to do with my computer's memory and have tried doing it with many nonessential applications closed, but it hasn't made a great deal of difference. I had this problem a few days ago when I first started using it but it seemed to go away somewhere along the line. If anyone has any advice on how to stop it, I'd greatly appriciate it.

Cheers

Nice to meet you too.
Now play nice.

I helped Thiefs_Shadow because I knew the answer, or at least where to look to try and help him. The whole random crash thing though I don't, so I haven't been able to help with that. My best and only guess is the old firewall problem - which I don't suffer so don't really know about.

To your impatient and impertinant posts:

#1: I don't know what you mean. Try the 3d window you have in the editor, since you can move and look and edit things straight in it.

#2: Again don't know what you mean, but maybe if you've got a read only file, or you're trying to add properties you can't. Or maybe it's just gray, and not grayed-out, such as if you hit the Show Non-local properties button, which makes them gray before you play with them so as to signal it belong to a parent object, but you can still edit them as normal.

#3: Gonna have to do better than that. It's well explained in the various tutorials, over in the wiki, and probably over in other places too. If there's an actual problem - like you can read the log files and tell us where it's not working rather than simply not jumping through the right hoops, then maybe we can be more help.

and beyond that:

WAIT LONGER

Or repost.
Or read the tutorials.
Or try not to sound like such a dick.

It's amazing how insulting people who might help you makes them less inclined to do so.

As to my previous problems - i.e. T3Ed randomly closing whenever I try to add in a mesh, build the world or, more commonly, load a map which has had problems with meshes and world building.

I was thinking that it was more a question of my computer's memory but tests show thats doing alright. So I think it may be a question of the meshes. Two things I need to know

1. is there a patch for thief or the editor that will make things run generally more smooth. I have a leter release of thief, so its already version 1.1. When I played thief recently, it would often throw me out of the game every second time I went into a loading screen. (aside from intially loading my game). this made travelling across town very annoying).

2. Is there somewhere I can monitor why T3Ed is doing. Its not giving me a Viktoria message every time it cuts out, but I'd like to see if there some kind or error log. I had a look but couldn't find one.

Cheers

This sounds like a larger driver issue of some sort. Do you have the latest video, sound and motherboard drivers? Also try changing resolution, bloom/antialias and sound settings in-game to see if it makes any difference. Then again, see below...


You can log events when you're running the game itself (i.e. your map), but not the editor itself as far as I'm aware (?). It's crashing when you open a map, correct? I think it's probably related to the above and that suggests the 3d viewport (and video drivers) is the problem. Check (http://www.ttlg.com/wiki/index.php?title=T3ed_Troubleshooting) here and (http://www.ttlg.com/wiki/index.php?title=Graphics_Card_Issues) here to see if anything jumps out.
