Crash after loading master file - 11/22/2011 7:28:04 AM

Status: offline 		Vic,
I ran into a problem trying to load a master file into a scenario. This is v2.09 and here are the steps. First, I used my graphics mod as the base master file for starting up the editor, via mod at start up. Then, I clicked on create scenario, which has the graphics loaded from the master file, but none of the peoples, and it shows the masterfile name in the settings window. I made the map and wanted to get started putting in some units. But, since I also wanted to use the peoples in the master file, I then reloaded the master file. If I stay away from the map, I can see the peoples, sft's, etc. Anything as long as I stay away from the map, and if I go into the event editor, I do not close the event editor window. When I click on the map box to go to the map, I get a crash with "object not set to an instance of an object" and the following details:

See the end of this message for details on invoking

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Status: offline 		Update. This crash seems to happen when I load an overlay, and then try to load a masterfile. This happens regardless of the masterfile, i.e., my mod or generic.at2. The other way around seems to be fine.

Also, it looks like the only way to make the overlay go away completely is to load another transparent one. I find that after I save the scenario and then start it, the edges of the overlay graphic can still be visible in the game.

As for the crash, i have no idea why it does that.

Thanks for reporting.

Also ernie is right. Thats the way to remove an overlay.

If you dont want the overlay to show in game make sure to remove it again before starting play. But you dont have you can make a design in which the overlay map that is no blitted behind the hexes is an integeral part by using transparent hexes. I have nobody seen using this functionality yet actually.

The crash bug has been catched and will be fixed with v2.10. Thanks for reporting!

best,
Vic

Status: offline 		This is interesting. I hadn't realized the transparent hex feature (what I get for just moving over from AT and not reading the manual I guess). So, you could use, say a hand drawn or a satellite image as the map. I presume that the terrain is still there. I didn't know this.

Noh it has been added in one of the recent patches after release of ATG. You could indeed do what you suggest, the only downside of this approach is somewhat loss of map speed.

best,
Vic
