so, at least now won't crash again...

 

but still errors/issues

 

You also did something else. Because you are at least missing 2 shock absorbers and the files are in the update. I think your missing parts are caused by your missing assembly files.

I downloaded the supposed fixed update. And also had that crash error loading the parts LXF
However I think I did find some of the issue. 

In my ? Mark folder is the new leg part, Mini hook and baymax's arm. Along with some shock absorbers. I don't really have a need for them. So I'm fine with just leaving them there.

However I do also have the crash issue with the heads folders. And not exactly sure what exactly are the g files I'm supposed to delete.

at first i just pasted the new update

then pasted the complete update and moved the g files in the lod0 folder

and then again pasted only the update

 

might due to the assembly files
but i didn't touch them...

First delete all g files from the Primitives folder under the db folder (not the LOD0 folder of course!), then reinstall the fixed update, should solve all issues except for the missing files and decorations. These .g files were misplaced and a reinstall should put them back into the correct folder instead of having to manually move things around yourself.

If you open your db folder and sort by file type, you will see files that are different and have a .g extension. You have to delete those. It's about 10-13 files.

I just downloaded and copied the files. Opening the 240120.lxf file gave no errors for me.

Thank you!

[Stephan]

Sorry for the issues! Due to time constraints there was no development version available which could be checked... Will be better for upcoming updates!

Looks like several shock absorbers are missing on my end too from the screenshot so the 30 missing files must at least include both Decorations and the shock absorbers.

Awesome! Means I only have to add some missing decorations, but they are not essential. They will still he added today though :)

My only  g files are the ones in lodo and there is a lot more than 13.

Then all should be fine. The .g files in LOD0 represent the 3D data of the part. The .xml files are the connection, collision, etc. data.

I did that and it basically removed most of the parts from LDD visually
And even then It still crashed when I opened the head folder.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong exactly?

For some reason, 8 shock absorbers are still missing which means 17 missing decorations as I did not notice anything else out of place.

I will share with you a separate file because I am not sure what you did and  didn't delete.

Can you share a screenshot with me? Then I can look into it more. Missing decorations should not give a "x parts have been deleted" message.

Thanks as there doesn't appear to be any files from today in said lodo file.

I did restore my lodo file so I have everything even the bugged parts.

For the record I did what I've always done with the other updates
Copy and paste the DB and Pallete folders from the update to the main one.

Found the issue. It was part 5660 https://bricksafe.com/files/stephan3321/ldd-new-parts/5660.png

Removed the files for it and the head folder works fine. (I don't really use star wars parts so I can work with my LDD as is for now)

Did notice the Ninjago minifigure parts weren't included with this update. Guessing a later update instead for them?

Good to hear! Yes, NINJAGO will be in the next update. I didn't want to delay for another 3 months.

Sure, please check the following screenshot of the full file on my end.

the last month has been tough 😃

Hey, what are the optional stickers? I can't find any detail on them in the key topic or on the blog, other than that they're available. I'm not even sure which screenshot shows them. Are they something different from decorations, or have they been set apart for some other reason?

[anothergol]

Loving the update!

However, the LDD is now seeing a collision between these 2 and is removing them when loading. Here shown in dev mode:

I've checked the grille part and it doesn't seem to have been edited recently, weird.
The file (for 2412) only has one collision box (which could be the issue, because of the tile's lip). Sadly I didn't make a backup first, so I can't say if the previous one had a different collision. But the file being from 2020, I assume there's no need for me to check an older update.
Does this ring any bell?

You are missing some spring assemblies.

The stickers are simply also decoration png's. They are not included in screenshots because LDD does not really like the 8 digit number assigned to them. For example you can not switch between LDD modes when you added stickers. But, if you recreate official sets, you can copy paste the files into the Decoration folder and simply apple them with the Decoration tool.

Hmm.. I will check it.
