Another Vibrant Report
Hi Chuck,
Please disregard my last message about hard vs soft reset when switching from
Windows environment to 3DS environment – I've already proven that my theory was
wrong when it just happened again. However, this time I got even more
information AND I was fully awake <g> this time, and noticed more. Here's the
whole scenario for this latest occurance:
Loaded model/anim file and manipulated in ED & KF – did not render.
Chose to switch to the MatEd module – Red/White/Yellow screen pops up.
(This is a vibrant-generated screen. Red/White vert.bars & Yell.text)
INITIALIZATION ERROR (missed this before – top of screen)
ERROR 18: Unknown Error Number
This error should not occur, contact your distributor.
Press any key to continue (I pressed a key)
Screen blanks to black w/ underscore cursor flashing upper left corn.
(I press CTRL-C) Pops back to Editor module – dialog box opened (3ds)
ERROR: Cannot Initialize Materials Editor Display. Please Reconfigure With A
Display Mode Which IS Able To Display 80×34 Characters.
CONTINUE (Clicked on it) – Now I'm back in ED, no problems.
IMMEDIATELY CHOSE TO ENTER MATERIALS EDITOR AGAIN.
It did not happen again – continued to work and render – no problem.
As I mentioned before, if I go into the MatEd upon first loading 3DS, the
problem has never occured. If I do something else first, then go to the MatEd,
it may happen. I hope this may be of some use to you. Please keep me posted.
