I am getting an intermittent crash ("Terragen has generated an error and has to be closed" etc. Windows message) on opening some files and I can't open many of my saved TGDs.
One of the error generating ones was made with the update, the others with the previous version.
I tried opening the TGD_BAK files where available and, if these were opening, I did a file compare.
The common differences are in the gui_network_view_position and gui_network_view_zoom (slightly different numbers), which I think are not important, but maybe I am wrong.
The second common difference was in the planet and atmosphere,
where , in the working one it has
centre = "4.0886e-022 -6.378e+006 -4.08252e-008"
and in the crashing one
centre = "-3.8573e-022 -6.378e+006 4.08252e-008"
These numbers were invariably the same in all 5 cases of TGDs I compared.
In three cases there was another difference in the cloud layer
input_node = "Atmosphere 01"
in the working one
input_node = "/Atmosphere 01"
in the crashing one
The one I uploaded in this thread
http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=1112.0, seems to be one of those crashing, also the one used for this image
http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=1104.0.I think that in those two, I pressed the save+exit button. I tried it on a new TGD and save+exit changed the centre exactly as above. Is the planet moving on its own?
The strange thing is that sometimes I can open these files without a problem (Today was not my lucky day).
For example, I opened the red sphere TGD after 3 failed attempts, rendered an image (where BTW the image was quite different from the previously rendered one, see the first thread above), closed and was unable to open again.
