GS is now corrupted, 2 months down the drain?

UtopianGames

Hey guys,

This morning i was working on my new game when all of a sudden GS stopped working properly.

I rebooted my mac, went back to yesterdays version but it all resulted in the same thing....GS is broke.

You can see me hitting the play button near the end of the video...i can hear music but it doesn't play.

I can't double click on an actor to see rules....everythings gone down

Any ideas to salvage 2 months work?



I will mail support also but until this is fixed work on my new game has come to a stand still

That's not good darren! I'm sure the guys at GS will be able to sort out your problem for you. Are all your other projects still working fine?

UtopianGames

Just tested 2 other projects and there fine.

Did you try to reinstall GS?

UtopianGames

further testing i have managed to narrow the bug down to...clicking on a specific actor.

If i double click this it freezes the project.

I will try a reinstall.

also re-save the project in a new GS file. that might help sort out things also. i experienced something similar a few hrs ago....but yeah read my latest post all went poof!

If i don't double click on that Restart Actor you see in the video its fine, it all goes wrong if i click on that actor...for some strange reason.

I have sent off a bug report so should have some answers soon.

Good Luck Darren, must be incredibly frustrating.

Can you go into the Show Package Content of the gameProject and delete the buggy Actor?
in the image folder, actor in Actor folder, and in asset.xml???

will that allow GS to work?
the file is opening... so perhaps it is not entirely corrupt.

I will just stay away from that actor...not sure about deleting it because its in every scene and would be a royal pain in the butt to redo it all.

It's ok until i click on it so i will have to stay away from it.

Also does anyone else have a glitch in the art when running preview? 1/10 times it really messes up the art, kinda looks like skeleton art if you get what i mean...a quick reset and its ok again...ahh the joys

Yes I've seen that preview thing. I just double click on a scene to load it properly. I sense a update to this update in the near future.

gyroscope

I had exactly the same issue with some actors, created in .8.9, freezing the program when clicked on in the editor. Had to replace them all, which was a bit of a pain without the ability to put stuff into My Behaviors...

Chunkypixels

Yup..same as Gyroscope... I had some problem actors after 0.9.0 that werent working anymore, and had to redo them to get them working again. I think they were copied My Behaviours that were no longer working correctly, that were the root of the problem.

As for the preview graphic glitch, Ive also had that quite a few times now. Seems to be linked to the memory leak and editor slowdown, as I noticed it started to happen as the editor started to chug...but displayed fine once I'd quit out and restarted the editor.

So it looks like the memory leak issue might have actually got worse with the 0.9.0 build, rather than getting fixed.

Im hoping for a patch/update to fix a lot of the issues were seeing, as ive got a game coming up to completion... but Im guessing we wont see anything til middle of next week at the earliest, with it being Thanksgiving...

Yuk!

Sorry to hear about this dude - hope it gets sorted asap!
