GtkRadiant crashes on map opening
When you try to open a map created in NetRadiant in GtkRadiant it's quite common that GtkRadiant crashes in the process. This is a small tutorial/debug process on how to overcome that issue.
GtkRadiant 1.6.4
I tried to open the map in GtkRadiant 1.6.4. Radiant crashed after opening, importing, loading the map as prefab, without console log
GtkRadiant 1.5.0
I downloaded version 1.5.0 to check whether this occurs also in earlier versions. Map opening process failed, but at least the program remained stable. The console gave me following error message:
.\patch.cpp:186 assertion failure: patch too wide ---------------- Stacktrace is disabled in release-builds ---------------- 15731:2: parse error at '(': expected ')' brush 1635: parse error entity 0: parse errorText-editor
I opened .map file in the text-editor and searched for brush 1635

GtkRadiant 1.5.0
I opened the modified mapfile again and received the following error:

I opened the original map in NetRadiant. Filtered patches from the view. Selected everything and copied it in another NetRadiant file. Saved the map as 'mapname_nopatch'
GtkRadiant 1.5.0
Opened 'mapname_nopatch'. No error. Works like a charm.
GtkRadiant 1.6.4
Opened 'mapname_nopatch'. No error. Works like a charm.
Conclusion:
NetRadiant provides the possibility of creating patches with a size up to 31x31. Try splitting those patches in several smaller ones since GtkRadiant seems to struggle with them.
"Fix":
If you change the patches one by one, you might not know which patch you modified later-on. That could leave you with several "corrupted/duplicated" patches.
Step#1:
Rename you current map-file to 'mapname_backup' . Do that in the explorer and NOT in radiant as that might screw your targetnames etc. I've encountered that problem before!
Step#2:
Delete ALL patches from 'mapname' and save it
Step#3:
Rename'mapname' to 'mapname_nopatch'. Do that in the explorer and NOT in radiant as that might screw your targetnames etc. I've encountered that problem before!
Step#4:
Copy ALL patches from'mapname_backup' into a new mapfile and save it as 'mapname_patch'.
Step#4.1:
If you have patches with targetnames: Copy/Paste 'mapname_backup' in the explorer. Open 'mapname_backup_copy' in radiant. Hide everything except patches and select ALL of them. Unhide EVERYTHING and invert the selection (EDIT > INVERT SELECTION). Now hit delete and save. Go to explorer and rename 'mapname_backup_copy' to 'mapname_patch'
Step#5:
Check the 'mapname_patch' for "corrupted" patches like I did above and delete all "corrupted" patches.
Step#6:
Import 'mapname_patch' into 'mapname_nopatch' and replace missing patches
>> The problem in your case might be a completely different one. Just run a debug-process like I did above and check what GtkRadiant gives you as error messages. Please post here for future reference!!

Nice idea to post it over here :) +1!
