proably because you havent made spawn points.Read a tutoraial on Bf2editor forums for that one.

Make sure you read my last post on page 1 aswell incase you missed

So you inserted the flag, but did you add SPAWNpoints around the flag?

After you place a flag, you right click next to it and add vehiclespawn, playerspawn etc.

Ah mate no worries, i spent 18 hours trying to figure out a crash, which was caused by a file named "Dont use this, it causes crash"

yes. i wonder how that happened....anyway, good luck with your map, post some bfeditor screen shots

im dying to see what it looks like!

Im gonna take a break from that map for a while.I just finished my"Desert City" map and im ready to pack....But as with other map.....the desert trees from xpack are causing cdt..So i was wondering,do i have to remove all the desert trees?I want xpack stuff in there but i also want map to work.I need to pack it and start testing.

Post by **duckhunt** » 2006-11-21 19:03

carrion, look a couple pages back and I told you how to add xpack stuff for your map.

In the case of the desert trees, replace 'staticobjects' with 'vegitation'
to all the quote below

'[R-DEV wrote:duckhunt']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

oh sry...thanks man.
i cant find mods/xpack folder

carrion dealer · Post by **carrion dealer** » 2006-11-21 20:17

This is becoming increasingly annoying.What's the point of making a map if i cant play it?i cant get either one of my maps to work.This effin sucks.I don't know where this mysterious xpack folder is..so i deleted all the desert trees and it still says desert trees in error message so..should i just scrap this map that ive spent a week making,late at night for hours and hours?

Post by **duckhunt** » 2006-11-21 21:00

no dont scrap it because theres an answer to everything

-What mod are you making your map in
-What mod are you trying to test in

Dude we are here to help.. im having the same problems as you, and it was all done and dusted when i read/followed Duckys post a few pages back...

carrion dealer · Post by **carrion dealer** » 2006-11-21 21:57

Making it in mymod.....and was trying to test it in pr but gave up,now trying to test it in vanilla....me and my brother were playing it..but it didn't have undergrowth for some reason so now im trying to figure out yet another issue.Having trouble with the packing...it seems like when you package the map all the files aren't included.
