Thief 3 editor crashes

Crispy on 7/8/2005 at 03:17

I've 3ds max 6 installed ever since starting with the editor, and it works fine for me.

:confused: Well, I just do not know how to resolve the following error:

Anymore advice?

Hmm... well, this is a kerfuffle and no mistake.

A question: Are you SURE that you have DirectX 9 installed? The "Direct3DDevice8" bit from the error message suggests that DirectX 8 is being used. Or maybe that just indicates that T3Ed is only using DX8 features. Actually, that sounds more likely. Never mind.

I've looked up the SetViewport procedure in the DirectX documentation. From the look of that error message, it's returning a negative value, which means an error occurred. But I guess you knew that. :joke:

It would really help if the error message said what the return code of SetViewport actually WAS... :grr:

Just in case it actually helps, here are the possible reasons that SetViewport can fail:

D3DERR_CANNOTTATTRSORT
Attribute sort (D3DXMESHOPT_ATTRSORT) is not supported as an optimization technique.
D3DERR_CONFLICTINGRENDERSTATE
The currently set render states cannot be used together.
D3DERR_CONFLICTINGTEXTUREFILTER
The current texture filters cannot be used together.
D3DERR_CONFLICTINGTEXTUREPALETTE
The current textures cannot be used simultaneously. This generally occurs when a multitexture device requires that all palletized textures simultaneously enabled also share the same palette.
D3DERR_DEVICELOST
The device is lost and cannot be restored at the current time, so rendering is not possible.
D3DERR_DEVICENOTRESET
The device cannot be reset.
D3DERR_DRIVERINTERNALERROR
Internal driver error.
D3DERR_INVALIDCALL
The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter may have an invalid value.
D3DERR_INVALIDDEVICE
The requested device type is not valid.
D3DERR_MOREDATA
There is more data available than the specified buffer size can hold.
D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE
The queried technique is not supported by this device.
D3DERR_NOTFOUND
The requested item was not found.
D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY
Direct3D does not have enough display memory to perform the operation.
D3DERR_TOOMANYOPERATIONS
The application is requesting more texture-filtering operations than the device supports.
D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDALPHAARG
The device does not support a specified texture-blending argument for the alpha channel.
D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDALPHAOPERATION
The device does not support a specified texture-blending operations for the alpha channel.
D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDCOLORARG
The device does not support a specified texture-blending arguments for color values.
D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDCOLOROPERATION
The device does not support a specified texture-blending operation for color values.
D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDFACTORVALUE
The specified texture factor value is not supported by the device.
D3DERR_UNSUPPORTEDTEXTUREFILTER
The specified texture filter is not supported by the device.
D3DERR_WRONGTEXTUREFORMAT
The pixel format of the texture surface is not valid.
E_FAIL
An undetermined error occurred inside the Direct3D subsystem.
E_INVALIDARG
An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function.
E_INVALIDCALL
The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter may have an invalid value.
E_OUTOFMEMORY
Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.

Good luck figuring those out. :rolleyes:

Some stab-in-the-dark questions:

- How much video RAM does your video card have? (This is different from your system's main RAM; video RAM resides on the video card itself.)

- Tried reinstalling DirectX?

Anyone who might know - are the paths okay?

Code:

EXE Name : C:\Thief3 Edit\System\T3Ed.EXE
Current Directory : C:\Thief3 Edit\System
PDB File (not found) : C:\Thief3 Edit\System\T3Ed.PDB

I thought it was necessary to use the \Thief3 dir, and without spaces, but I might be thinking of something else.

ProjectX on 7/8/2005 at 14:04

don't put spaces in your install!!!

Where it says "Thief3 Edit" change it to "Thief3Edit"

Rantako on 7/8/2005 at 14:08

Mine is in C:\Program Files\Thief - Deadly Shadows and everything works fine for me. I read somewhere that having spaces in the path causes problems with conversations (too bad for me :p ) but it shouldn't stop anything else from working.
