[.51] CTD when deleting complex custom component from ship design

from GalCiv3 Forums

When designing a ship with complex custom parts the designer crashes (reproducibly) to the desktop upon removal of one of such complex components. No crash files, or dump files will be made.

The custom component must be quite complex, before this to happen.

The screenshots of the ship complexity i am talking about.

Each of the unfurling antennas is made up out of three (identical) complex components.

@Ray,

It is fully operational and animated. Best guess: there are more than 300 animations in the complete ship.

Editing is hell, you have make lots of saves to fall back on, because you can not delete those parts. So every placement must be done perfectly. If you do place a component at the wrong hard point it is back to the last save.

I was just checking this thread out, but I saw you already made a ticket so someone should be taking a look at it. :)

Yes they are. The supplied game save was able to crash the game on your machines.

I can feel the thoughts (and murderous intent) of the ship designer's programmer from thousands of miles away: "what raving insane maniac builds a ship with hundreds of animations, and now i have to spend time making the game deal with it." ^_^
