Is there a Half stable version of entity out there?

I have a crappy 1.2ghz pc and a even crappier 64MB graphix card
I'm told use the most upto date entity and plugins (1.6 UE and preys plugin retriever 1.5 twitchy 1.4 when it crashes it crashes everything 1.39 RIP old faithful) I tried and as long as you only go into the scnr tag once (ever) don't even think about chain spawning and all the planets are aligned it might only give you about 30 broken idents per meta adding
I ruined 1.39 with these new plugins too and that was my fav
I now use 1.3 beta (yes the on I dl'd in UMPv2) what it lacks in function it gains in reliability but there seems to be something very wrong with the duplicate recursively function on all entitys, yeah it dups but do things point to their duplications, no, (check yourself dup a grenade recursively what HLMT does it point to?) I just want to ask a few things

Is there a set of plugins out there where you can chain spawn without me breaking down and crying whilst clicking ok for 5 minutes?

Is there a BSP viewer that doesn't show me 128 million colours? (I use entity 1 for BSP viewing It just lacks editing lights placement)

Is there anyway I can over write broken Idents (fixing is possible but some just loose their reflexives??!!?)
I'd even seriously extract every bit of the map and build it back in except entity doesn't over write it just renames

will promethius ever be finished and will I need a 48GHz pc with a 4Tb graphix card

I am going to finish this BSP conversion I am going to finish this BSP conversion I am going to finish it, BSP conversion I am going to finish it BSP conversion

Entity 1.3 Beta is the most stable one yet. I rarely have problems with it, though I prefer Entity 1.3.9

id say your computer is on the edge. again 1.3.9 ftw. id consider an upgrade.

but yes as i said 1.3.9.. i believe one is up there with the latest plugins to. you shouldnt be having problems with entity considerin i run it on my 300 mhz laptop, without bsp viewer of course.

*sigh* what is the purpose of entity? Is it to mod? If yes, then wouldn't it be logical to put your modding questions in the Halo 2 xbox modding discussion forum?
Like seriously come on >_< even with my warning it still gets ignored...I should have deleted this topic like I said I would but hopefully this will make an example for other people and they will stop doing it...But that's incredibly unlikly.

Anyway, I believe 1.4 to be the best...However no version is perfect and for every new feature or something in each version of entity, new bugs are found (which where the fun begins and ends in a matter of nanoseconds) so just be careful

As for the broken idents, try to do your chunk cloning before you do your recursive duplication. I don't think the recursive duplicate is broken; they chose to implement it such that it does not automatically link the duplicated tag to the corresponding duplicated dependencies. I wish it would, or at least give you the option to choose, or at least let you turn off the obnoxious broken ident warnings (Prey, you're not busy, are you?). Or it would be cool if someone made a program that automatically deletes those broken idents, or tries to link them.

Before your recursive duplication, try nulling the dependencies you don't need. Material effects ([foot]) often have many dependencies, and I seldom change those at all. That will save you some broken idents. You could also duplicate non-recursively, and then manually duplicate only the dependencies you intend to change, and relink them yourself. I've done that, but it becomes a hassle.

One last ghetto trick is just to hold down that ENTER key when the broken ident warnings start popping up. Don't press it individually for each warning. They will rattle by much faster. You could even set a jar of jelly on your ENTER key and go have a sandwich, and by the time you come back, the ident warnings will have passed.

Is there some reason you can't re-download Entity 1.39 with old plugins?
