[Help] Custom map crash

[woefie]

Hi , im new to mapping
followed almost the most tutorials for mapping.
I started to create a new PR map ,
With terrain,2 outposts ,2spawnpoints,2vehicles. saved all and copy the map to PR levels to start up with PR , when the map fully loaded at 100% it crashes to destop with no errors.
What can i do?

My PC works normal (so far i know) play normal BF on highest settings etc.

[marcoelnk]

run in windowed mode.

[Tonnie]

Ok like marcoelnk said, run in windowed mode and try yourmap again. Then look for the file that its says ismissing. If you still have problems take a screenshot of the error window and post here i am sure someone can help you that way...

Good luck mate

[woefie]

how can i fix this?

looks like you have meshed up something with the init.con, so just check your init.con and compare it to this


run ../../objects/common/spawners/spawners_common.con
run ../../objects/common/spawners/spawners_us_ziptie.con
run ../../objects/common/spawners/spawners_taliban.con

this is the init from my map

RED = fault

Green= not needed fot testing

Several .con files get changed every time you open the editor, even if you haven't been working on any of the settings that they contain ( the init.con is one of them )

I have a Map start folder with the following files in it, containing the correct lines of code:

Gameplay folder
init.con
terrain.con ( Because I'm making a 4km map )

Everytime I want to pack my map, I paste these files into my map folder, to overwrite the ones that the editor has changed, and then run the map script

[woefie]

thnx , it worked , but when i create a new map it crash on 14% with objects now and no error in windowed mode

[marcoelnk]

you probably used a corrupted object ( chekc the list the modding tutorial section ) or messed up your overgrowth. when you do not have any overgrowth set yet try to delete the overgrowth folder and then run the map.

[Hans Martin Slayer]

you probably used a corrupted object

yea sounds like some corrupt object to me as well.

you can also run the debug mode to find out what's wrong.

just create a new shortcut (copy/ paste the PR shortcut and change the target line so it looks like this (might be differ from this, depends on where your BF2 is located):

"C:\Program files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2_r.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +ignoreAsserts 1

if the windowed mode fails to give you an helpful error message, the debugger often brings up the reason for the crash.

post the error message here and we'll see if we can help you out.

[woefie]

hey , it worked when i deleted the overgrowth but when i have overgrowth it crashes how can i fix it that the overgrowth stays without crash?

[marcoelnk]

go to compile and click generate overgroth atlas. also resave your overgrowth and make sure you dont use a corrupted overgrowth object.

[woefie]

Nice , thank you guys for your help , it's working now and it's fun
