Title: SGDK2 map editor crashing issues
Post by: durnurd on 2010-04-17, 08:48:15 AM

I know you just said you wanted to release SGDK2.  BUT:

• There's nothing stopping a user from creating a layer of size 0,0.  Opening the editor for that layer causes the app to repeatedly throw a division-by-zero error and you can't continue.
  
• There's no way to re-make the Designer Background layer.  You can't specify nothing for the tileset.
  
• On my machine at least, it crashes whenever you try to open a layer editor when another one is already open (or when you try to open an animation preview when a layer editor is open).  Essentially, only one at a time, or it throws the following two errors:
  
  System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
     at OpenTK.GLControl.MakeCurrent()
     at SGDK2.Display.OnResize(EventArgs e)
     at ...
  
  System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Error creating window handle.
     at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.CreateHandle(CreateParams cp)
     at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateHandle()
     at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible)
     at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl()
     at OpenTK.GLControl.ValidateState()
     at ...
  

On these ones you can continue, just close the other window first and you can re-open the new one and it works fine.  But it's probably something that should be handled.

I can't get any error when creating a layer of size 0,0.  Can you identify the line of code that's generating the error?

After more testing, I found that it only crashes when the layer size is 0,0 and the virtual size is not

Thanks, that clears that up.  I'll just add an error message to prevent creating layers where SizeInTiles is zero.
