I'm currently trying to test one of my WIP maps.
I've already lightmapped, setup layers, CPs, spawns and objects and did as said in some tutorials about using Rhino's script for deleting unneeded files after I compiled my map.
But when I go to Create Local my map isn't there..
I've tried searching to forums but as of now my browser is screwed and takes ages to load a page.
So I decided to ask for help here.
Probably a list of what I need done before testing my map.
or how/what I need to do/use to test it in-game.
The following are what i have already done:
Lightmap
Envmap
Layers, CP, Object, Spawners
Undergrowth
Overgrowth
Terrain
Half way through static placement
Compiled map without crashes or errors
Ran Rhino's build pr map tool
help.
still a noob at mapping...
thanks.

Map Doesn't Show Up - Official BF Editor Forums
2sec search for "+Map +show +up +list" (without the quotes) on the BFeditor forums found me that topic + lots of others on the same subject...

Re: [Help] Custom map wont show up on list
I did some changes is the desc file.
It shows up now, but I have some problems again.
When I use the normal pr_edit.exe it would crash at 14%
I looked it up and tried to solve the problem with the debug windowed version.
There it would finish loading but now I have another problem.
Once I get into the spawn menu I would lose all control of the game.
All I can do is press Esc and do stuff on the menu.
I tried changing the settings thinking it may have been changed.
But it's still the same, BF2 and all mods lose control in-game, Resetting doesnt solve it tho.
Help?
Edit:
Just did clean reformat of my PC.
Will get back to solving problems tomorrow probably.

Re: [Help] Custom map wont show up on list
the only solution for this is setting your controls to standart before loading a map

Re: [Help] Custom map wont show up on list
Basically this is what happened...
I played a round of PR before I tested it.
Everything was fine, then Rhino replied and I tried out some stuff.
It crashed at 14% when using the normal pr_edit.exe
I searched again for a fix then tried the debug version.
It finished loading but once at the spawn menu I cant move the mouse or use controls.
All I can do is press Esc and leave the game.
After that any mod or BF2 itself would be unable to reset controls unless I delete the profiles in the BF2 My docs folder and retrieve my accounts again.
I also noticed some patches of terrain were missing in what looked like 30x30m squares.
I could also upload my map to have someone experienced to try it out.
What do you guys think?
