auto save b4 test game

[lordalmighty1]

ok so im not very active at saving scenes lol
and due to this I would like to see skyline use a feature if possible to auto save the scene just b4 it tests game, or a periodic settable auto save function perhaps? lol

[StarFire]

Yes we agree lol auto save or pre play save!

We will plan this in for the next auto update

[lordalmighty1]

excellent to hear

I just lost another map to a crash that I was testing things on lol.. its a pain but I do test games a lot compared to the saving of maps hahaha

[StarFire]

We have a habit of saving at regular intervals, use to have a big sticky on the wall saying "HAVE YOU SAVED" lol

Btw did you notice what you were doing when it crashed, so we can get this particular crash fixed

[lordalmighty1]

I was copying a rock (custom media not skyline default) with the left shift key and dragging it to the side with the gizmo

[StarFire]

Mmm should not have crashed, fishy a foot something is....( in little green dude voice)

Is the crash repeatable?
It would be nice to locate it but do not worry about locating it. Lets see if it reoccurs.

[lordalmighty1]

ok. here we go for a step by step.

place custom rock
textures custom rock
hold left shift
drag model

that repeats it for me, but and here is the thing that might be causing it perhaps..
the gizmo I dragged but not in the direction of the arrow I was gripping the entity with. could be a issue with direction of drag? ie a grab onto x axis gizmo arrow and drag along y or z axis instead.

Thanks one of will test this soon, just busy with gallery

[SolarPortal]

strange, i have ran the test, but am not getting a crash.
can you get it to crash with a standard skyline asset?

[lordalmighty1]

no, I cant .

[SolarPortal]

ok, it must be mesh related or texture related.
Are they files that you could send us, this would help in identifying the problem

Note: if you don't want to make them public, you could send them through email to support.

[SolarPortal]

thanks for the mesh, i am now replicating your crash on my dev machine, so we should be able to stop it now.
weird why the rock has a skeleton file though.

I will keep you informed of my progress, when i come to fix this.
