Hoping someone can help here. I am really annoyed with this radiant program.

I try to open radient and it crashes everytime. I have tried renaming the map and it just opens like you were starting a fresh map. I have the preferences set to open the last map that was worked on.

Anyway, the map still runs, but I noticed when I ran it it hasnt saved all the work I have just done over the last 3 hours or so, even though I save roughly every 5 mins.

This is exactly the reason I gave up mapping about 3 years. The radiant program is so unpredictable sometimes.

Is there something I can do to prevent this happening? Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything I can do to get my map running again? (as I had spent ages on it!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I can't help with your problem, but it's nice to know that the radiant program is a good part of the problem. I have never had this much trouble with a map maker. I can make the same room 6 times from scratch the same way and 4 of those attempts will have errors. Now at least I have someone else saying the program is buggy.

Thats nothing,

have over 50 hours on my map

custom prefabs, made evrything right, everytime i made a major change, i would change my map name to a different version, just in case it messed up i could go back to a working version.

now at v18 of my map and i had a problem, went back to v17 and same problem, went back to v16 and same problem,

reinstalled cod4 and the mapping tools and still nothing

talk about buggy !

this is messed up !

OK, No-one can help me get my map back......

Thanks for the replies though guys.

I will give this one more try..... if it buggers my next map then Im out of here, never to be seen again!

Just my opinion here... could it be because ur computers suck a bunch of anal cakes?? because i have no problems what so ever.... never had a problem with radiant...

my specs are:
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Hard Drive: 160 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Monitor: Plug and Play Monitor
Sound Card: Realtek HD Audio output
Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300

I had this problem with CoD2. What you have to do is set it so that it doesn't open the last map on save. give that a shot and then post back!

No, because I have issues too, not as many, but still issues... and I'm running:

Memory: 4096MB RAM
Hard Drive: 320GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT

I'm thinking that im having issues because of vista :(

Nice one Sniper. I renamed the file again and unchecked "Load last map on open" + "Load last project on open" and "Auto save" then tried to open my map....and it did!

Oh and my PC doesnt suck a bunch of anal cakes. I only built my high spec PC the end of last year.

Cheers again Sniper....thats one I owe ya!

Type RegEdit.
goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/IW
DELETE The Whole IW Folder (Right CLick Delete) Dont worrie, it will renew after you restart Rdiant (HONEST TRUSt ME)
Next OVer Write you Radiant BIN folder just copy the whole lot over again , then copy the new 1.1 update over to your bin folder.

I find doing this has helped me in the past when Radian and SP_Tools crash out. ( i do this every time Radiant crashes out or the SP_Tool & MP_Tools screws up it gets them going again.)
