[Help!] Map package issue...

Well, I've been working on a map for 3 days, and I was planning on showing you guys some screens, but I ran into a problem yesterday. When I go to package my map, about 20% in I get this error message:
EditorMemory.dll: all alloc attempts failed for size 41609628
Any ideas what my problem may be? TIA.
Edit: I probably should have done this first, but I just checked the bf2editor forums, and I apparently need to free up some disc space (which I AM running out of). Defrag time.

good question.
you can hand pack the files by using another map as a guide
or
be sure that your tpaint files are out of your level folder before packing
or
you can use a 3rd party batch file
here is a link from the editor website:

Yeah I'm still having problems... haven't removed the tpaint files, I'll try that. I think you guys are going to like what you see.

Ok, I now no longer get errors, but I can't get the map to load. I placed the folder in the pr levels folder, deleted everything but client.zip, server.zip, and the Info folder, but the map doesn't show up in the list ingame. I don't get it, I've never had any of these problems before.

Yes, I do.
This is it: (the site's code removes the > and < symbols, so I replaced them with their respective brackets)
Code: Select all
{map}
{name} Banghazi {/name}
{briefing locid="LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_Banghazi"}map description for modders maps not localized (english only){/briefing}
{music} common/sound/menu/music/load_MEC_music.ogg {/music}
{modes}
{/modes}
{/map}
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I need a gamemode? And how would I add it?
