EMERGENCY!!! HELP! my GTKradiant 1.5 is broken

(Nexus242) #1

hello

  i was just messin around with the preferences in GTKradiant 1.5. then i picked the type of layout that separates the views into individual windows and when i tried it out it shows all white with the entity window open (broken looking) and the X/Y axis window open as well (also broken looking e.g all white) I had to restart my computer.

  when i tried it again it asked me that because GTKradiant didn't run properly the last time, i had the choice of reseting the preferences, so i clicked yes. then 15 secs later it errors and the program closed.

 i tried re-installing it, no luck still the same and i tried uninstalling and installling it again, STILL THE SAME! Is there anyone with a similar problem?

 PLEASE I NEED HELP BADLY! Thank you!

Could help if you write the specific errors.

those are the specific errors, the program just freezes and all the above.

I remember having that too, with Radiant 1.4.
I deinstalled it, removed all of its folders/files and installed again from another source.
Try that.

Thanks Destroy666!

  I got it to work again, panic over.

here are the steps i took:

  1. downloaded another installer 1.5(I use 1.5.020060302 only acessibility is slightly different)

  2. installed it

  3. ran it and asked me if i would reset the preferences

  4. clicked yes

  5. win! i changed the preferences again to the “normal” settings

  6. uninstalled the 1.5

  7. installed my version

  8. YAY! it works again!

    but one drawback, in camera view i can only see short distance as if there was a fog of some sort, this has never happened before.

    and thanks agian! :smiley:

There is an icon that you need to deselect, look down in this tutorial.

also the 1.5 did something else to my 1.5.020060302, when i got my gtkradiant working again i did a little test map one brush, 1 spawn for allied, 1 spawn for axis, the spectator spawn and the mapcoords but after compiling into a BSP a get an error message saying “entity 1;brush 0: entity leak” in a debug window, so i clicked it and the axis spawn was selected but not the allied one (both team spawns are pretty much the same) and a very annoying red line shows up (quite long!). when i tried the map it works perfectly!

 so how do you get rid of that debug thing?

thanks Destroy666 for the fog thing! :slight_smile:
