is related to this issue.

Hi, I see you're using pretty old version of binarize. Could you please try it with current version to see if the issue is still there?

We backtracked via our git and found the issue manually and fixed it, so unfortunately we cannot repro this using the latest binarize as we fixed it manually via reverting commits.

But better binarize error logging would have saved us a weeks worth of sifting through data and a possible terrain revert to last working full build. Which would mean 1 months of collaborative work could have been wiped, and we would have had to manually check/re-check everything added from that point to ensure the error wasnt replicated elsewhere.

If it happens again I will report any updates to this issue, along with relevant data and create a clone of our repo at that point for testing binarize.

:)

New Info:

Assets/Objects with class=House in GeoLOD and incorrect config.cpp entry I.E. not defined as a land_ class can cause Binarize to crash which results in Terrain PBO created without WRP inside.

Grabbed from PboPro window, using latest mikero pro tools(09/11/2015) and binarize(dev branch, 1.53.133.12):

"
<Bis Binarise...>
Binarise crashed with error status -1073741819.
Depending on the number of goats you sacrificed,
this may, or may not matter.
</Bis binarise>
"

Any building that has animation - ladders / doors / ruins+destruction class / hitpoints / etc, requires class=House in GeoLOD and class Land_ config.cpp entry, else Binarize crashes out-putting the error above ^.

Hope this aids you in adding error reporting to Binarize &/or some sort of included document that references these errors + how-to fix would be useful instead of searching for the illustious needle in haystack ;)
