Hint to crash the editor

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

- Convert Static Meshes into brushes and turn them into blocking volumes.
- Attempt to load UT99 music in Ued 3

The music browser in UEd 3 hasn't been touched since UEd 2, it's still 'asking' for .umx files. In fact, it's just broken and crash when attempting to open any audio file like Smiles already said. :rolleyes:

I guess it already happened to me once. I can't tell for ued2.0 or 3.0, but it don't happened lately.
its happened to me before... but it is difficult to reproduce.

I found a new one, loose power in the middle of saving you map. that then makes the map un-openable. good thing for autosave :rolleyes:

100 % working method :

Download BR-FindTheGheyBall map from Nalicity.
Open it in Ued and click the "real-time-prewiev" button... :lol:

Shift select all the texture packages and open them at once.
Try using particle editor on all the emitters in a given level, and make sure to click the mysterious ghost tab.

Kinda anoying to execute, but make 2 skyboxes, skybox 1 has everything set to the fakebackdrop of skybox 2, and skybox 2 has everything set to the fakebakcdrop of skybox 1.

I did that once with ued 2.0.

also: place about 5 to 10.000 exploding barrels in a random shape, fire a redeemer at em.

also fun: open a map-file in an texteditor (if the map is to large of a filesize you can crash texteditor lol) cope a part, and duplicate it somewhere else in the file.
maybe if you are lucky it could work rotf.

replace random system files of ut2k4 with those of ut2k3.

Never quite worked out how you could even have 2 skyboxes.....

Don't try to run UEd 2 and UEd 3 at the same time, most likely all hell breaks loose. (Or one of them just crashes. ;))
Works fine on My Comp. Ive had UED3 open twice and UED2 open. Was only when I opened Photoshop things started to get messy.

-Keep opening and closing it until the viewports turn white :p (Yea, I went there... what'cha gonna do about it :p)
-Create a Melscript to loop tesselating your model then export to an ASE file... come back in a week and open it in UnrealEd.
-Make a UnrealScript to spawn dynamic lights every 3 seconds -- build, click play level, then go to bed.
-Run UnrealEd in dosprompt.

Make a map, in my case a map with heavy amount of BSP that is cruved as well. Do a full rebuild and maybe if you get "lucky" you'll get an instant crash , with no errorlog what so ever, to Windows. Add some BSP, full rebuild, and watch it NOT crash. Add som more BSP, full rebuild, and watch the nice instant crash again. Add some more BSP, guess what?... watch it NOT crash.

YAY! it's like bloody lottery. Only you win more... But I do get more frustrated at it than loosing on a lottery ticket...
