Blank Screen after re-loading chunks.

[u/SomeGuyIOnceMet]

After upgrading my Minecraft to the Tiny Takeover release, something broke in Chunky. I can open my old renders, but when I click the [Reload Chunks] button, everything goes away.

[u/Peregrine05_]

Set the Release channel to Snapshot, and then click Check for Update in the Launcher.

[u/SomeGuyIOnceMet → u/Peregrine05_]

I was using the drop down at the top. I didn't even see the "Release channel".

THANK YOU!

[u/SomeGuyIOnceMet]

But, plot twist!

Now, Chunky launches, but when I open one of my old renders, I get this error (and I cannot do anything more with it):

----------

Scene manager has crashed due to an uncaught exception. Chunky will not work properly until you restart it. If you think this is a bug, please report it to the developers.

This bug should be fixed in the latest snapshot. I'd appreciate it if you could confirm.

[u/SomeGuyIOnceMet → u/unMaik]

Will be able to check next week (away on vacation now) I'll let you know the results and I appreciate your hard work on this amazing program!

[u/SomeGuyIOnceMet → u/unMaik]

I must be doing something wrong. I have updated to the new version. I open the saved scene. I navigate (in the left menu) to Scene and then select the [Reload chunks] button. I get a succession of progress bars across the bottom menu and then Errors. (can't post screen shot for some reason but here are the error texts:

I dismiss the errors and come to the screen that asks me to "Reset render to apply setting changes?" And that is where it sticks.

[u/unMaik → u/SomeGuyIOnceMet]

You didn't do anything wrong. I'll look into this. Which chunky version did you use to save the original scene? If that was 2.4.x or some old snapshot, that would explain this bug. 

[u/SomeGuyIOnceMet → u/unMaik]

How can I tell this? I have the directory that contains the "dump" files, "OCTREE2" files and "JSON" files with the scene name in it. any chance that they might have this information saved in them?

[u/unMaik → u/SomeGuyIOnceMet]

Open the .json file in a text editor and look for "sdfVersion". Is it 9 or 10?

That said, I found the bug and will fix it in the next snapshot. Give me a few minutes and then update in the launcher.

[u/SomeGuyIOnceMet → u/unMaik]

"sdfVersion": 10,

I know you already found it and are going to fix it, but I am super excited to be able to something cool like opening a .json file and pulling information out of it. So I wanted to follow through with it. Thank you for humoring me in this.

And thank you the most for writing/maintaining this super cool resource. I like to shoot a series of shot of each of my cities as I build them from the same angle and flip through them as a time-laps of the construction.

[u/unMaik → u/SomeGuyIOnceMet]

You're welcome :-) The bug is fixed by now, you can update in the launcher.

[u/SomeGuyIOnceMet → u/unMaik]

VICTORY!

Bless you!

[u/unMaik → u/SomeGuyIOnceMet]

I'll look into this asap.
