Crash due to Calculation

So I decided that I was going to use this satellite based program to import a format that stores the elevation data for many places in the world, including the place that I wanted to import into my L3DT so that I can subsequently make it a map for Arma 3. I encountered the tragic issue of the entire program crashing after calculating the terrain for a considerable amount of time and it is avoidable by means of not doing anything as it was on for hours but then afterwards it crashed. I would like to know if there's any way that this issue can be resolved so that I don't need to go AFK whenever calculating terrain as that's rather inconvenient as you could probably imagine.

Hi rockwill1066,

I apologise for this fault and for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for the bug report.

I wasn't aware of any crashing bugs in the terrain generator, so the best place to start would be to have a look at your log file after the crash. You can find the log file by using the 'All programs->Bundysoft->L3DT [version]->L3DT logs' shortcut in the Windows start menu. That link will open a directory in which you will find a file called 'log.txt'. Please send it to aaron@bundysoft.com. Please collect the log file after the fault occurs in L3DT, and before re-opening the program, as the log file is overwritten at the start of each session.

Best regards,
Aaron

Thank you for the reply & I just sent you that log.txt file through e-mail.

Hi rockwill1066,

Thank you for the log file. Unfortunately, that log file only shows the startup process for L3DT, followed by a couple of minutes of L3DT gaining and losing input focus. Presumably, this log is from another session of L3DT. Did you re-start L3DT after the crash, before copying the log file? Please note that the log file is overwritten each time you start L3DT, so to catch the log from a crash, you need to get the log before re-starting L3DT.

If you can reproduce the crash, please send me the log file as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Aaron.

I replied to the e-mail that I sent with a .txt log.

Oh my apologies. That would've been for the error messages that I received that terminated the extraction process of the Terrain Normals. Somehow I conflated the issues of the two threads that I created so I apologize. I'll attempt to reproduce the crash when I can although it might take a while.

Hi Rockwill1066,

Sorry for the delay. No worries about the log. If the crash reoccurs, please let me know (and send the log file!)

Best regards,
Aaron.
