CTD: Changing the prehex sprite

[JJKettunen]

Hi,

There's an editor problem with changing the prehex sprite: it causes a CTD. I tried various combos and the only thing that can prevent it is to activate the special layer first, ie. 64 sprites, which shouldn't be always needed. Below is the error message I get:

System.NullReferenceException: Objektin viittaukseksi ei voi määrittää objektiesiintymää.

Hi,

thanks for reporting.
Which version are you using 2.08?

best regards,
Vic

[JJKettunen]

...and a question somewhat related to this problem.

Why is it that an added Landscape Clone, with exactly the same attributes as the original, is not properly drawn on a map? It won't use hex borders properly, but is a strict hexagon. You can test it by making a clone out of Plain landscape, and draw it next to sea hexes. Note the disapperance of proper coastline.

This problem seriously limits designing of new landscapes (unless I'm missing something of course...)

2.08 it is.

[JJKettunen]

Btw, the first line of my error message in English is something like:

"Object reference cannot be set to an object."

Dunno if this helps or not. [:D]

Just to clarify: obviously this problem doesn't limit the amount of new landscape types one can make, but with it the new landscapes can ruin the looks of an ATG-map... (maybe I'm spoiled, eh?)

I think the actual editor bug will be fixed with v2.09 (will try to get that out soon now) but i will check this issue once more. Not sure if i can reproduce though.

The other issue (clunky look) is not a bug but has probably to do with override rules of the new and the other landscapes.

best,
Vic

[JJKettunen]

Cheers!

I did change some of the override rules for new landscapes, but it was perhaps not enough. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks!

On a second thought (and after several retries) this doesn't explain why an exact landscape clone, with similar override rules, produces those clunky looks. It is simple to reproduce. There is obviously something buggy here.

[JJKettunen]

Illustrating the latter problem. Here is the Island of Hiiumaa before swamp hexes are replaced with an exact landscape clone:

A related CTD-crash, when a custom landscape was set to interior drawing style:

Argh, just realised how to set overlay graphics for custom landscapes properly. [:o]

CTDs are still relevant though.
