It often happens that after i edited a dbr file and come back to modding later, the dbr editor always gives me the same error when trying to open a dbr file. “Cant open ________ Template not found”
Whats causing this?
You need to extract the game data and set paths properly. Also you should make a mod… do everything in the tutorial on asset manager perhaps? http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37919 lists tutorials and Q&A answers.
I’ve had lots of trouble with dbr editor, mainly on my pc. On my laptop I never had any problems.
At the moment, I can open files with dbr editor from asset manager and from within the dbr editor. Although sometimes I first have to click New -> Cancel in the dbr editor otherwise I get another error about templates.
You can also check File -> Settings to see if the working and build directories are still correct. If I open a dbr file by double-clicking often the working directory spontaneously changes to the dbr file location instead of Steam…\Grim Dawn.
Furthermore, I deleted the extracted game files, did a steam file validation which found one 3.7 mb corrupted file, then extracted again.
Maybe some of the above will help. Although I hear some people say you are better off using notepad anyway.http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38051
It looks like problem with long names. I placed working folder closer to the root and this problem disappeared.
But in general this DRBEditor is nightmare. It adds CRLF to the end of lines instead on LF used in original files. Also it sorts lines. Total disaster for source control systems.
