QERadiant 1.47 issues

[tmg]

Been faithfully using 1.47 of radiant as my main map editor, and lately, whenever it goes to autosave it locks up and takes way longer than usual to save.

I am kind of thinking it is to do with the map I am currently working on but I don't know this as I haven't tested it with any other maps. Will try this later on today though.

I have started using gtkradiant 1.5, but that has a bug with the ',' and '.' keys which are used to strafe around the map. In gtk1.5 it causes all the geometry in the camera view to disappear! I have to restart to get it back. The grid view is unaffected though and no geometry is deleted. It's just a camera bug.

I think there is a way to walk through a map like you're playing it though, with the WASD kays, if I remember correctly...

Are you sure you don't have a hardware issue with saving to where your map project is? Have you done a chkdsk to fix filesystem errors on your drive, and then a defrag to see if it's excessively fragmented? What about SMART data from a utility such as HD Tune?

[tmg]

Haven't done any of those checks but I do need some new drives as one of them sleeps constantly and only spins up when selected. It's really time to upgrade the whole system again. I need get out of 1st gen iCore Series and into 8th gen lol.

Will get back to you today.

You might want to hold off upgrading until new revision CPUs with the side channel vulnerabilities fixed are available.

But yeah, if you're having issues with your HDDs, you should replace them ASAP and then carry those new parts over into your next system.

I read about those issues with the CPUs but what problem does that pose to us gamers/mappers?

Off topic, but do you know where I can find 1.35 to download?

[tmg]

Knightmare has a download link on his site for it. I think its v1.47 tho. Is that what you want or do you prefer 1.35?

[draxi]

Oooh nice that'll do it!
I had only found an 1.47 update.. But for that one I would need 1.35 first to get it to work properly..
But the knightmare one worked fine!

THANKS!

Too easy mate.
