Test this PRJ, please

[robcat2075]

This PRJ in this ZIP is contrived to require you to find a missing asset, "vase.mdl"

When you open this PRJ in v19.5, do you get a dialog asking you to find it or do you get a freeze?

Also tell me what version of A:M you are using.

Thanks!

The first time i opened the it froze.

then i just imorted the part individually and it all seemed to load.

I closed all thje projects then selected to open ythe project and it all worked

Using 19.5a

 

selecting the project from the file caused the opened to file the vase mole and froze using 19.5a and 19.0

Are you saying that it opened a dialog to find the mdl but still froze?

[Phil]

Yes. Tried it again same results using 19.0 and 19.5a. noticed that it didnt display the model file.

tried it with 15.0 opened up looking for vase.mdl but only displayed vaseX.mdl. selected model and it opened without any problem

1.) When I open it the first time, it asked for vase.mdl and I could just click on cancel. Had to click that a couple of times. Then I tried to give it vaseX.mdl but that was just empty.

2.) Then I just closed the project and reloaded and there was a vase model in there and everything ran fine.

vaseX.mdl should be a valid model. It was empty?

Hi,
Using v19.5a, win10, nvidia 940M
For "DialogFreeze004 external JPG MAT MDL ACT CHO.prj" that freeze without panel.
For "Delete.prj" it open, but without "vase" model.
For "VaseSlide.cho", it's ok, a panel ask for the "vase.mdl". So I choose "vaseX.mdl", it dont' freeze, and open the scene with the vase.
After If you close the project (not AM). You can open "DialogFreeze004 external JPG MAT MDL ACT CHO.prj" witout problem. (as if it had remembered the path of the folder where the files are located)
On v15, not this problem, a panel dialog ask for the "vase.mdl"
This is a problem that I have already encountered, when a file searches for an image for which it cannot find the correct path, it freezes.

Hope this can help

I meant to delete "Delete.prj".

D'oh!

Interesting. For me, missing images and materials will still get a dialog opened without a freeze, but missing models, actions and chors will get a freeze.

It was empty when I used it as a replacement of the vase.mdl, but not when I loaded it in "normally".
I think we do not know the state A:M was in when loading it in. Maybe already problematic there.

And you're on a Mac?

How about "DialogFreeze004 external JPG MAT MDL ACT CHO.prj"
