When do you ctd? when the map is loading or after it has loaded (during the game)?

Also make sure your graphics are on medium.

I guess PR now has different classes and soldier skins, so you have to copy the "Level settings" from the init.con inside a original PR map. That is, if the crash is around 14%

crash at 62 % can be a problem with your atlas files.

Anything with an xp or xp2 prefix is expansion pack material, of which there is only a limited amount in the PR folder.

Its basically looking for something thats not there.

My advice: Keep things simple at this stage by using only vanilla models and vegitation. Then you can get a good feel for your map and test it.

Can always add some xpack stuff later.

So that means that any xpack stuff i use in my map wont work ?? Because i am using a few "cliffs" from xpack 1 ... and it crashes everytime i try to test the map...

carrion dealer · Post by **carrion dealer** » 2006-11-20 20:20

yeah i deleted the xpack items and the map worked so.....

Post by **duckhunt** » 2006-11-20 20:23

Yes thats right.

Basically, if your testing your map in PR.

!!!!!!!!! Make a backup of mods/pr/objects/objects_client.zip !!!!!!

1.then go to mods/xpack.

2.Open objects_client.zip

3.Select the staticobjects folder and extract it to desktop

3.Open objects_server.zip (in mods/xpack)

4.Select the staticobjects folder and extract it to desktop

Even though you extracted two staticobjects folders, you should only see one on the desktop, where they have merged together.

5. Open mods/pr/objects/objects_client.zip

6.Drag and drop you desktop/staticobjects folder into the zip. The files should be added under the correct route so PR can find them when the map requests them on loading. Now you should be able to place all xpack objects wiothout problems.

I think thats it, might have forgot somthing but donr know
