Dear collective PD community,
While developing a patch PD unexpectedly crashed on me (windows extended version test 7)...
Now when i try to open the patch PD just crashes immediately. This has never happened to me before so im not exactly sure what to do!
I tried opening it on mac OSX with the same results - PD immediately crashes. I have not tried opening it on a linux environment yet.
I opened the patch in jEdit to check to see if some information was corrupted upon crash and nothing seemed to catch my eye... In the process i have been trying to understand the code a little better so that I might be able to fix the patch directly in a text editor but when attempting trial-and-error by removing sections between "#n canvas"(s) i do not feel like i am altering the results in anyway...
Ive attached the patch if someone would be kind enough to take a look for me! Ive worked on it quit a bit but be wary it is only about 1/4th done and i am usually very nervous about sharing my work before completion!
thanks for the help!

Hallo!

try to open your patch with: pd -noloadbang
then you can look through the patch and try out where's the problem ...

hi georg
ah yes i remember that now. i tried it out but pd still crashes immediately....
i also tried suppressing the gui with -nogui and pd crashes also.
with -d 1 i get:
error: canvas_restore:out of context consistency check failed: t-canvasenvironment
hmmmm

First thing I tried with it. In fact it dies even with -nogui Some kind of restore problem I think. So I removed all the restore commands and now it opens. Well, I say it opens, I think there may be some usability issues (its borked bigtime).
How can we use the debug output to more precisely target the bad restore that seems to be the error?
btw Mark, I'd love to see a video of what the AK is like with some visuals. Did you manage to hit anything with it yet?

hey cool! so ill just take out the restores and give that a shot then...
be some usability issues (its borked bigtime).
HA! yeah i imagine it is! I thought i had learned my lesson to make number-sequenced backups as i went along from the early days of digital video editing but obviously not!

sure! might be a little bit... yeah i shoot myself. i am using blob tracking as a sort of motion detection. the AK starts firing when someone enters the room... i was just about to add bullet tracing using particles when it started crashing... now i have to re-motivate myself.

You should really look at installing a versioning system. It will make your life so much easier. You don't have to maintain complicated backups as it's all taken care of for you, and you can automatically revert to any past version when something bad like this happens.
Does anybody know of a versioning system that runs on a native PC and doesn't require a server? I think bzr might actually do this.
Best,
Chris.

well, the grandfather of revision control systems RCS does not need a server. RCS is the backend of CVS (which needs the "server" only for accessing the RCS system)
it is probably not the most uptodate revision control system.

RCS runs about anywhere. Another popular versioning system, that is not CVS or Subversion is Darcs: http://www.darcs.net/DarcsWiki

Don't you hate it when that happens :(
I tried these options and found an error
pd -nomidi -noaudio -nrt -verbose -d 3 ./foruseintargeting2.pd
pdtk_post { error: } pdtk_post {canvas_restore: out of context} pdtk_post { consistency check failed: } pdtk_post {t_canvasenvironment} Segmentation fault
I tried deleting some of the canvas objects to see if I could find the bad one, but no luck so far.

So, removing bad restore points fixed "error: canvas_restore:out of context consistency check failed: t-canvasenvironment"?
I wonder what caused the corruption?
Does "restore unpack" make no sense? or was that just a lucky guess this time?
Anyway glad its sorted.

yes!! thanks so much!!
actually i got it working with only removing the first restore point....
it must have been my web cam code and my gem-window stuff... i think i might have had too many things going on... ugh..
thanks for all the help. ill send ya a vid and the patch when complete..

Actually - I found something interesting. Seems like you might get away with only deleting 2 restores, the ones that try to restore unpack. that doesn't make sense so I assume the line is malformed.
