[0.40][CRASH] Ship Designer Symmetry Crash

from GalCiv3 Forums

Here is a debug.err file for attempting to do this crash. (I figured it out and can reproduce it reliably now)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75549875/GalCiv3/Beta/Debug/Aug16/debug.err

Here is how to make the designer crash.

(I use the Irridium)

Go to the designer.

Use a tiny hull (probably doesn't matter which one you use)

Add a piece (I used Irridium model 30 attached to the side of the cube)

Add another piece to the piece you placed (I added Irridium model 09)

So it looks like this picture.

Do symmetry on piece Irridium09 (the piece you added last)

Do symmetry on the former piece (Irridium Model 30)

then remove symmetry from that piece.

The problem now is that the game think that the piece Irridium Model 09 is still in symmetry mode, but it's not. So deselecting symmetry on that piece will crash the game.

I apologize if this doesn't make sense. If you need more guidance, let me know and I'll try to set up a youtube video for you.

You can simplify the process to get it to crash.

Add Piece

Add a piece on that piece

Select symmetry on last piece added

Select symmetry on first piece added

Try to remove symmetry from last piece added.

???

Crash.

So, whenever we have a reproducible crash or bug, do you want us to submit a ticket for these, post on the forums, or post and submit?

Great point! I would say the best thing to do, if you have a reproducible case, is to make sure that a support ticket is filled out. That way we receive the information and attached files required. With that said, posting on the forums does help with other users knowing which issues are present but the support ticket is greatly preferred. :)
