Problem/bug with terrain tool

Ghoults

Lasse Luisu
I have found a problem/bug with the terrain tool in btb. Btb crashes when I try to add terrain next to the track with certain values. Below are a screenie of the error below and a way of reproducing the error.

I've managed to create a simple track and reproduce the error in "small scale". This simple track is attached in the zip.

Howto reproduce:
- start btb and open the track I've attached
- try to add terrain by using the "add to whole track" option. The parameters to use when adding the terrain are:
panels 1
sides right
distances 10
reduce 3 <- seems to be the critical. With value 1 btb doesn't crash for example.
randomness none
- press create and enjoy the fireworks

Btb always crashes and gives out the error message shown in the image when I do this. For some reason trying to add terrain by click&drag works for the track file I've attached but for my own track where this problem occured for the first time both methods (add whole track/click&drag) crash btb on this "difficult spot" of the track. The "reduce 3" seems to be the cause for some reason.

The track surface properties could be the root of the problem as the test track I attached has similar properties in this respect as the other track I'm having this problem with. I was trying to make pitroad so the both ends of the track need to be narrower.

I hope I've attached everything there needs to be. I tried searching but found nothing similar.

System:
windows xp 32bit, latest patches
4gb ram
ati 4870hd
latest directx 9

I'm running windows with admin rights.
Never had any problems I can recall with btb before.

Thanks, that download worked. Yes, I got the same crash. It seems to be the panel length of the track that's causing it. If I reduce the Panel Length of all Surfaces under Track Surface Properties from 5.00 to 2.00 it works fine. If I up them to 3.00 it crashes again.

I changed all the surfaces, it may be that only certain ones need the lower panel length for it to work ok, I haven't checked that out.
