Remove this line from the staticobjects.con file as well:
run /levels/my_level/StaticObjects.con
That can't be good anyway.
And there's a problem with your overgrowth. Don't know what.
I replaced it with something else and now it's loading beyond the 14%.
And there is an unlinked effect in ambientobjects.con (perhaps more?).

try renaming your overgrowth folder to something like "badovergrowth", repack the map and see if it works. If it does then you know it's your OG if it doesn't then you can take the "bad" off the folder and restore it to "overgrowth"
Taken from a map crash percentage post that I found is fairly good at being a template (note template)
14%
check mapdata file
check gameplay.con
Re-Generate your Overgrowth
Crash on dedicated server (server side crash) - Missing surrounding terrain .raw files
15%
Patch incompatibilities The patch broke or removed one of your statics
No serverarchives path in tmp. Only important when using a object_server.zip for custom equipment/statics.
Broken terrain.raw
One of the items in your object_server.zip is duplicated in the minimod or main game. IE An m10 Early which is in the mod is also bundled in minimod with an identical name will cause a conflict.

What if you remove all the contents from ambientobjects.con? I did that, then it loaded further for me. I never got the map to fully load though.

If you removed all the contents from ambientobjects.con, you should not get an error about ambient effects.

You do an amazing job working with those limited statics
Also, I will say it now, but don't use the walls seen in the second picture (the middle-east sandy ones). Use the ones found in :
pr_edit\StaticObjects\Walls
They fit more to normandy
Also if you have any "tree_deciduous_
1" (note the
1) trees, remove them, they have really bad LODs, you see the leafs from afar but not the branches and trunks

??:
Ah yeah, all trees located in the "Europe" section will be removed from your map later on and replaced with PR and BF2's ones, because they have bad LODs/textures and just look like big green stains from medium to far range.
Do you think you could do somekind of protected runway (like hedges hiding it) for maybe some german planes?
Otherwise keep up the awesome work!
making space..

thats bad news about the europe trees, i like them

im not shure about the brick walls though i think they kind of fit in
i guess i can fit in a runway, not shure if it would end up kind of ridiculous

??:
how much do they need too take off?

I'll take a look for the airplanes.
The wall is really out of place, it's so much used in middle-east maps that players will make the association and see it as "wrong". Also using some new and unseen statics is always good and set the mini-mod as more unique
About the trees I like them too, but they would need better LODs and textures. For now let them there, focus on more vital things.

Ok it's about 100m - 150m for the planes to take off, it's really a small distance, just put it near the german main, just put a big dirt road protected by shrubs and whatnot and you should be alright

i was thinking about giving teh allies the planes as the germans kind of already have the advantage on this map, being defending and having more tanks and defensive positions

??:
but i too would love to put the stuka and bf109 instead of the mustang

Sorry but is there any bloody reason to include the runway other than your wish to use the new assets which a) historically werent there, b) make no sense gameplay wise c) absolutely unnecessary

You really souldnt use that Middle Eastern wall, because it also makes the computer load a whole bunch of ME texture palletes, and thus putting more avoidable strain on the computer. If you have anything to replace it, go for it
EDIT: You are doing great job on the town, youre awesome
Although those windows on the curch, I dont like them, but they might be good in the end.. And please no planes

I actually sorta feel bad for bursting your bubble there, but yea no planes. It was infantry with armour taking the lead near the end.

ok no planes then

about the middle east textures, i knd of already use some middle east statcis already so im not shure, and i dont really like the other wall, and its a pain to place

about the church, yeah i dont like that model too, its way too simple and the texures are not teh best, but i think it fits better than the russian one, i also wanted one with interior
