S3D v9 bug report.



When importing a .dat file with a nod that has an embedded 3D model, SH4 will CTD when the .dat file with the new 3D model comes into visual range.


Background

I have used S3D to edit / change / import .dat files for both RSRDC / OM for a while now. I have always been able to import nodes with 3D models in the past without problem. With v9 I’m have a “re-creatable on demand” CTD when I attempt to add nodes with 3D models in them.

The following test case is the procedures I use for the importation of nodes with 3D models and have use these steps with older versions of S3D without problems.
  • create working directory
  • copy NDD_Clemson.dat & NTR.dat into the working directory
  • launch S3D and open the NTR.dat file
  • select and expand (7) Node – NTR then select and expand (12) Node – NTR_B
  • select (21) NTR_barca_03 and remove “parent id” so that the node is now is a “standalone”
  • Repeat step last step with NTR_barca_06.
  • select (7) Node – NTR and delete
  • Keep “empty” nodes 3 & 5 as they are required “material” nodes for NTR_barca_03 and NTR_barca_06 and delete the remaining “empty” node.
  • Select and execute “Remap ID’s” on the file.
  • save NTR.dat then use the “save as” option to save the file with the name zzz.dat
  • delete “AuthorInfo”, Start, End, Unknown chunk, Index and Eof from zzz.dat
  • save file zzz.dat
  • open NDD_Clemson.dat
  • select (7) Node – NDD_Clemson
  • use the right mouse button to select “import”, then dat.file
  • Select zzz.dat and select yes when ask to import 10 chunks.
  • Save file.
  • backup original NDD_ Clemson.dat in SH4, the copy in new file
  • create test mission under “Single Missions” with the Clemson Class DD. Ensure own sub is at least 75km from Clemson Class DD.
  • launch SH4 and then test mission
  • head sub to the Clemson Class DD location.
  • When own subs is with in range of the Clemson to be seen, SH4 will CTD.
