CC3+/DD3 - Program Freezes When Trying to Copy DD3 Light Source

Hey,

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but ever since I updated CC3+ to update 27 the program freezes when trying to copy a light source. By light source, I am referring to the dynamic lighting associated with Dungeon Designer 3.

If I place down a light source manually/individually I have no problem doing it. However, when I copy the light source (denoted by an X matching the light source's color) I crash when I click to select an origin point for the copy. The crash occurs with light sources placed after the update and on older maps from before the update. E.g. I cannot copy and paste light sources that I was previously able to copy and paste.

Has anyone run into the same issue? Could some DD3 files need a reinstall?

    I'm not having this problem at all.

    How are you copying and pasting them? I'm using the clone tool

    Ctrl C & Ctrl V. Oddly enough, I just successfully copy and pasted using the clone tool. Thank you for showing me that alternate method!

    Though, wonder what's up with Ctrl C & V. That copies to clipboard, while the clone tool just copies (based on the command that pops up when I hit the keys). Ctrl C & V still works for everything but the light sources.

    I don't know if those keys are supposed to work or not, because I've always used the clone tool (my bad - it's actually called the Copy tool, but I use a lot of different software, and keys that do this job are often called clone tools).

    I believe the copy and paste keys should also work, so I will investigate...

    I've been able to reproduce this, using clipboard copy & paste on a light entity causes CC3+ to freeze. It's been pt on our list of things to fix. In the meantime, please use the Copy command instead.

  • I only use the clipboard copy & paste when I'm copying things between maps. If it's on the same map I use Copy but I make sure I'm on the same sheet as the entity I'm copying.

    Good to know. Thank you!
