madmongo Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 The GECK has a bug where it will often display water in the render window if it doesn't have anything except landscape to render. What I usually do is create the worldspace, create the height map, then go to the new worldspace and drop an airplane onto the landscape. Now if I go directly to that worldspace when loading up the GECK it doesn't display the water bug. Once I actually have something useful in the worldspace, I delete the airplane. Another trick to get around it is to go to one of the interiors first and let the render window render that area first. Then it will (probably) display the landscape correctly. Since you said that you are a noobie at worldspace generation, make sure that you use the GECK in networked mode and use version control to check in your changes. Otherwise the 16 MB bug is going to bite you and forever brick your mod. Are you aware of this issue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellape Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 (edited) @Phromspace I often edit when the game is active, well I cannot save the esp, but still, then the meshes disappears if I peek at the render window as well. What I do is, quit the game, save the edit, quit GECK, restart GECK and if that is not working: Open Notepad, write something but DO NOT SAVE IT. Do not ever save that junk text. Press CTRL-ALT-DELETE Logout, well Sign Out, but click [cancel] Notepad with the unsaved text will prevent Windows to close down or rather Disk Explorer, the desktop. If you click accept, you logout and close desktop and that takes time, specially to login again, with new junk code/apps running in the background... What will happen is, that all background apps will stop to work, windows will get completely clean from junk. Start GECK, everything will load just great. Everything runs faster then ever before and better even... If the game hangs, you cannot get anywhere, nothing works, not ALT-TAB, Nothing, not Taskmanager, not the WIN button. Do the same. Always have a notepad running with unsaved text, it does miracles. Damn it works so great. It is rare that CTRL-ALT-DELETE do not work, it does to 99.98%, which is the magic number. Why is it that?
