Ill get Turkish to post his error he got. But he's had a list of them in the past.

Think he crashes when its trying to load something from the object folder or similar.

I set up a test skirmish layer with 3 flags and about 30 spawns +2 technicals

Once the server is up and running, I join but crash at 15%

Post your error you get when running in Windowed mode

I also crashed on 15 %. What I did was to either in the OG txt files or the editor go through all your different types of OG and check if all of them have the correct model.

For example I made a new type in OG materials and I named it "Bushbranches" and because the name was so similar to what the model/geometry was called (bush_branches) I forgot to change what type of model/geometry, because the editor automatically puts the name you gave it inside the same box where you choose models/geometry.

Like this: should be: I found some errors and it solved my 15 % crash, hope this helps

I HAVE CREATED A TEST LAYER WHICH WORKS IN MULTI PLAYER. DOWNLOAD LINK

I have an annoying issue - when I save the changes done to my level, the overgrowth does not save. I ensure its checked in the list when I save yet when I open the map the next day, the overgrowth is exactly the same!
any fixes!

Did you by accident make the OG files read only?

The light setting is perfect!

Thanks Pvt.LHeureux

I can now overwrite the Overgrowth files and save my changes but the editor does not detect when these changes are made. For example: if you open up a document in word and make no changes, when you click save, there is nothing to save as no changes were detected. The same thing happens in my bf2 editor with the overgrowth!

try to :file/resave just OG
I had this problem right now and this worked.

Yep! that worked, cheers rodrigoma

if you remove some small undergrowth (like fine tunning some areas),pressing save won't save anything; you'll have to use resave function while in terrain mode. Save function will work always on ADDING undergrowth.
Hope you remember to generate terrain lightmaps after you ADD undergrowth, otherwise it will show up black while in-game

I have not been generating lightmaps - is to late to start?

if you have the map running, you will have to update to a new version...terrain LM are client-side.
But that's a bit odd...haven't you tested the map on local server, because you would have noticed if you did

pr|Zer0 if you like come have a look. Its running on our dedi.

Client file

I have tested it both on and offline but I have no black undergrowth. Some of my friends do. Just to be 100% clear, its not to late to start generating terrain light maps?

black undergrowth? is this a new issue. Probably recompiling colour and detail textures will fix.

Ive read somewhere that UG will be black on low if no terrain LM are generated

also undergrowth in BF2 "should" be a dertive thing, should not go over 30m draw distance or it will have a very big effect on the fps of the player.

here is a pic of the undergrowth

I will try generating the light maps and re upload the files at some point!
