Hello there,

I started to play around a bit with the Editor and it's working out pretty ok. So I wanted to recreate a renegade map, since I was getting a lot of joy from it and I really don't know if someone is currently making it or w/e but I just wanted to give it a try with Mesa. I created the basic layout, placed the buildings on their spots, placed some lights and clicked build/build lights.

After 30 secs or so windows said that UT3 has crashed and it closes the editor, not the 'program-is-not-responding' thing. So I created a new map, putted all the buildings in it and UT3 crashed, after that one building at a time and that went fine. Until I got to the GDI power plant (new and rec) and UT3 started crashing again. I now have a map with every building on it except the GDI power plant... (Although when I move these buildings around it still crashes :S)

Also tried to 'build' a copy of Hourglass and same story. Crash after a few minutes. Same story.

So am I doing something wrong? Since I really don't know what any more... I'm having a lot of fun making the map or just playing around with the editor, but this is starting to bother me quite a bit...
Or shouldn't I have to build "that much"? Though than I have no correct lights :S ...

I'm using a fresh installation of UT3, Renegade-X and Windows. My pc is quite ok (I guess, i7-930 6gb ram), though the editor likes the ram..
Also what I did:
- Created a new map
- Saved the map
- new terrain (120x120) and new skylight
- Placed all the buildings on it
- Build

A 60x100 map does build (not with the pp). Does that mean, since the editor is using 80-95% ram, that I don't have enough ram for the editor to use?

Another thing, the editor seems to always crash at 3.7gb of ram. With no other program running it has 20% more ram it could use, and 1% with other programs running.

Thanks for any help... I'm kinda lost right now what the problem can be. I'll just don't build for now

right the UT3 editor is a mass of bugs and as the Renx editor is the same editor it is no different .. i will crash all the time ... as for the GDI PP i have not had that problem it might be that you are trying to go too fast as that always makes the editor crash with me

what is your GPU if you are using SLI the editor will crash more offend as it dose not support SLI, ya ram is more than fine i only use 4 GB and i can use the editor with no probs.

120x120 is a bit big as you can always add to your terrain later if you need too

i found that the auto update can make the editor crash somethins but it can be a god sent if you crash and you forgot to save your self ...

...

what map are you trying to remake BTW ?
if you are having problems placing the GDI PP you can leave it out and ask some elese to add it in that dose not have crashing issues ... i would be glad to doo it if and when i got the time

Thanks for the reply.
Hmm, yeah I got a lot of crashes already so I'm saving quite a lot now, since I don't want to lose anything...
I'm using Crossfire, might be a problem?

Yeah I got it down to 88x88 ish, didn't really know how big it would become so I just made it 120x120 and resize it after.
If the Power Plant gives more errors I'll just leave it out .
And I'm 'working' on Mesa just to get to know the editor better etc and because it's such a great map :P.

Thanks again!
