Openrct2: Invention list in scenario editor crashes upon removing previously-enabled ride/stall entries

[ReikaKalseki]

OS: Win7
Version: 0.1.2

I set up an invention list, then decided to go back and remove a few stalls and ride types I found to be superfluous. Upon going back to the invention list, the game immediately crashes, with Windows washing out the screen and giving a "openrct2.exe has stopped responding" popup (the latter of which can be seen in the below image). This only happens for rides and stalls; removing paths and scenery did not cause a crash.

• Reproducible in RCT2 (vanilla)? Cannot check; no longer have disk
• Specific to multiplayer? No

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a basic scenario with some rides enabled
2. Set up an invention list
3. Go back and disable a few rides
4. Return to the invention list
5. Crash

You haven't specified the commit/build.
Are you on release ("stable") or develop?

[ReikaKalseki]

Stable, as far as I know; I never went out of my way to use some experimental version.

The main menu says build: 8069a04, whatever that means for your question.

[AaronVanGeffen]

That means you're on develop, an old build (18 days) at that. The invention list has been overhauled just yesterday. Could you try a recent build?

[ReikaKalseki]

Is there an auto-update system (ie within the program, like a browser 'check for updates'), or do I need to redownload and reinstall?

[AaronVanGeffen]

There is an unofficial launcher that does exactly that.

[Gymnasiast]

I managed to reproduce it on 61ddbd918b3086caa2ed8ac6df060481d97c736c.

[ReikaKalseki]

The launcher broke horribly for me, but I updated with a manual install of the latest on the "releases" page (0e7c0f7), and the crash persists.

Also, the invention list (I checked right before actually attempting the crash) did not look any different; was this overhaul entirely on the backend?

[Gymnasiast]

It does not look different because you used the release build and the change that @AaronVanGeffen spoke of was made after that release. It's also mostly a front-end change, but in C that does not always say much.

[ReikaKalseki]

Is there a place to get that build (without having to do something insane like compile it myself)?

Still present in 61ddbd918

@ReikaKalseki There's no need to get that, really. The bug in both in release and develop, and I can reproduce it, so it's now up to us (or someone else who can program) to solve it.

[ReikaKalseki]

or someone else who can program

I only know Java, Lua, C#, and C (from most to least skill), so I am not much help here. :P

I see a mention above of "separate ride" (presumably vs car type on one ride); I can say that not all the crash-triggering things are sub-elements of an overarching type.

[mtesseracttech]

@janisozaur So it looks like ride_entry is a nullptr at the moment it's accessed.

[Gymnasiast]

@mtesseracttech Yes, which in turn is caused by the research entry not being removed properly when deselecting it in the object selection window.
