Hey guys I made a first map "My_Level"
As far as I can tell I followed the directions on the wiki to the point where I should be able to load the map without any special features (only has terrain, cp's, and spawn points)

I set the two teams (US & Chinese) correctly.. copied the "my_levels" into the levels folder in PR..

So I load up PR.. create server.. select "My_Level" and it loads up fine.. but when the button for JOIN GAME loads and I click it.. it instantly crashes to the desktop.

Am I doing something wrong? Or am I missing a step? I made a pretty cool mountainous terrain with nothing but spawn points/cp's and a light jeep so I could quickly drive around the level to see it "in game" before I went too much further into making the custom map.. So over all my level is fairly simple.

Thanks for any help/advice.

did you pack your level?
did you change the "init.con" to pr setings?
did you set up a comabt area and spawn points/flags for each fraction?
etc.

Yes I setup spawns/captures
I didn't do anymore as I didn't know I was supposed to per the battlefield editor wiki

Any links you mind sharing regarding packing the level/init.con settings to pr

The wiki never mentioned having to do anything like that.. not that I recall

But then again I did read the editor wiki for bf2 and not PR specifically.
I read this
Creating a Basic Level - BFEditor

So again if you could share the links for making a level work in PR that would be awesome!
thanks!

Do Rhinos map audit. Infact look at all the tutorials above this forum.

Its sounds like you didnt set up your kits right in the init.con for pr.
Thats what caused me to crash to desktop.

You can also make a short cut for the editor/pr_edit because it has a debug function and it runs unzipped maps.

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +modPath mods/pr_edit +menu 1 +fullscreen 0

Ahh, ya know I started reading it then got distracted with the first links he posted and forgot to go back to his thread and finish reading his info.

thanks!
