Custom Furniture Fails in Design Editor

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This problem has the same cause as the previous question concerning the Furniture Gallery failing. It also has the same solution...

 

On certain machines, PartyCAD crashes when you try to use the Custom Furniture button. I believe this is caused by a problem with a system file that was erroneously patched by Microsoft and then later fixed. Some of the bad versions evidently escaped into the wild and cause problems for PartyCAD if they are present.

 

In PartyCAD version 12.2.452, released on 2/14/2017, I added a alternate 2017 Furniture Gallery that avoids using the quirky file. This code also fixes the same problem in the load Custom Furniture logic. To use the new gallery code, start PartyCAD and from the Start Menu click Options > Advanced Options > Use 2017 Gallery

 

Another way to attack the issue which seems to work is to stop PartyCAD, uninstall PartyCAD using the Control Panel, reboot your system, and install PartyCAD by clicking Try at www.PartyCAD.net  This causes a fresh copy of the quirky file to be installed and registered on your system.
