hi all,

i have a map in work and i wanted to test it. but if i want to spawn it crashes (when i m on the team 2 site) but if i switch to team 1 i can spaawn.
but now atfer some work i wanted to test the map again and it crashes when i join/spawn. no error message, also in window mode!

i have to say that i am not that new, and already deletet some of the work between the tests, but notthing helped me...

i could load the map up if needed.

p.s. please note that the map is still wip and i wouldnt show it fi it hadnt crashed!

hope you get me and u could help thanks anyway for reading

Run in windowed mode (change your shortcut from "+fullscreen 1" to "+fullscreen 0", or simply add "+fullscreen 0" if the parameter isn't there yet). Then try again and report the error .

i already tried that and there is no error! for sure

and i already checked the statics cos i just change that betwen the tests but notthing strange...


EDIT: thanks anyway sorry for my langugae...but it really makes me angry

Check that your spawn points aren't under water/the terrain or inside other objects.

It sounds like a problem with kits in Init.con or spawn points.

When you're on team 2 (bugged side), are any of the spawnable kits visible in the spawn menu? You can select which one you want to spawn with? If no kits are visible, that may be a problem with the spawn setup in the Init.con.

Can you copy the contents of your map's Init.con and post it up here? It might help us.

Sadly, running the game in windowed mode doesn't tell you of spawning problems, as I've witnessed when trying to change spawn kits with different weapons.

Another idea is to make another generic CP, and add a spawnpoint in the open.

the init.com is right!
already added 2 new CPS with 3 spawnpionts for each, but doesnt help at all!

and i realy dont know that error it could be or whats wrong anyway...

maybe it is possible to save the statics.com and the heighdata things and copy those in a new one...
HELP!

Downloadlink:

closed,cos fixed

[Cyrax-Sektor]

The download link doesn't have everything. Hud and Info folders are missing from the map's folder. I'll try substituting them with other ones, hoping they'll pass.

Update: Well what do you know, it worked with the false folders. Checking out the map now. Loaded fine.

Update2: I crash when spawning as US, but not as the other side. There's also this weird Combat Zone thing all over the map that kills me. May have been a result of my substituting.

Update 3 - Conclusion: Aha, very interesting. Substitution, it's your friend. Good news! Spawning as US doens't crash anymore. You were missing two files:

SimpleShadowmap.raw
SimpleShadowmapio.raw

I borrowed those two from my map, and spawning as US doesn't result in a CTD. Just to stay on the safe side, I checked the Insurgents: works there too, no CTD.

You can find the above files in any level's server.zip. Not sure what the long standing effects are with borrowed SimpleShadowmaps are, though . . .
