Removing Bitmaps

Post by Dark »

I am Having a Problem with removing some bitmaps, I have saved a backup of my dungeon .TXT because it always finds errors and can't open the .txt file when the bitmaps are removed. I've deleted everything that the bitmap needs I've deleted the Bitmaps out of RTCeditor but I cannot load the dungeon. wondering if it's a bug or just me. Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is a bug and sometimes it occors also to me (crashes editor and trims dungeon file). The only safe way to delete this "dangerous" bitmap is to remove it directly from txt file.

Can you please send me the text file and bitmaps with exact instructions on how to replicate the problem (e.g. Load the file, do x, y and z then save it...next time you load it, RTCEditor crashes) and I'll fix it for you.

Here is the prescription for crash:

- start a new project
- clone any object
- delete cloned object from the list
- save
- *plonk* ;)
- done

By the way, editor doesn't set hacked state for doors.

By the way again, is there any hope for the teleport spell in one of the next versions of RTC?

I just figured out how to get rid of the bitmap myself using pedro's advice of opening and editing the .txt file, but george if you still want to fix this bug have at it! thanks for offering to help
