Hey guys, I don't have a SS, but I can describe whats going on.

I built a map around .75, and tried to put it in to v .8 in game and got some strange things going on. I can't select spawns, the minimap is all screwed, its just strange.

I remeber rhino told me something about it, I wrote it down, but forgot where it was, and I couldn't catch him on xfire ever since.

Anyway did anyone have any simular problems? I'll try and get a screenshot by tommarow.

Have you downloaded the new PR-EDIT.rar file? That has the new object spawner's in it.
The problems with your minimap sound more like hardware problems. I was getting weird texture and minimap problems for a while, until I realised it was due to my computer being under powered - creating the minimap is very hardware intensive.

Oh probably,

no its not hardware, my hardware handles everything BF2 related great, i was just having some issues earlier with my heatsink but thats all, now its great.

anyway thanks man im gonna give it a go

Hey, i got a SS.

Could this be a problem with the combat zone? I think i deleted all of them, (in the gpo.con) but this still shows up, even after installing the new PR_EDIT

bamp, i really would like to showcase a map i've been working on but i need this resolved!

thanks

The SS link is dead.
If you have a crash when youre saving something on the map, it often messes up a file.
Try painting a bit of texture in a few different areas of the map, and doing the same with overgrowth,undergrowth and terrain - if it crahes when saving one of these, then that will help narrow down the problem.

I sorted the major texture problems I was having ( as well as several other problems), by adding some extra RAM.

Yeah you need to post you Screenshot again.

(kits are messed up but that is just the set up from .75)

Obvious question, but have you moved the minimap file to the HUD folder and changed its name?

no, i have not done that.

In the level editor load (or reload) the minimap after building final roads.

Then close the editor

Go to the following folder
EA Games\Battlefield2\mods\pr_edit\levels\*YOUR MAP*\Editor

Copy the "minimap" dds file and paste it into the following folder:
EA Games\mods\pr_edit\levels\*YOUR MAP*\Hud\Minimap

Delete the dss file named "ingameMap" and then rename "minimap" to ingameMap

If you want to have higher quality minimap, then look for Rhinos tut in the forum.

im pretty sure thats not the problem, I can't select spawns, and those are not minimap image related.

Problem solved Thanks guys for trying, expect a preview for the map soon
