Hi all,
I have been working with my clan to make our very own training map, we have come to a point where we want to put it on our server, but it when we put it into the pr/levels folder in cc it shows up under bf2...

We can't even get it to run locally on our own computers. I have made a layer and followed all of Rhino's tuts but is there something I have missed out?

Also when doing a layer what game mode would I set it as, to run training?

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you receive an error or..? Have you run your map in window mode? If there's an error, it will (hopefully) be displayed when your map crashes. But right now, I don't know what kind of error you get. Crash, spawnerror, other..?

Cheers.

It just dosnt show up in the create local map lists... its in the right folder and everyting but its not in any of the maplists.

go to your_level/info/your_level.desc

in this file all gamemodes for your level are listed, if you do not know what to change, take a look in the same file in kashan/info/kashan.desc

you may also have to edit the maplist to let the level show up in the server maplist?

Yay! It shows up now thanks J.F.Leusch69 but now when running in windowed mode I get this error


Now where would I go to find this texture?? And where do I put it?

I can find in the objects folders in the mod directory xp2_deserttree_01 but not xp2_deserttree_01_lod the other desert trees have _lods exceot this one.. shall I just remove the desert tree 01's from the map?

yes it should help

there is so many xp stuff that doesnt work... i recommend only to use these youve already seen ingame.

Ok well i deleted that stuff, and the map loads, but there is a new problem... after around 10 secs the screen starts flashing read and you die.. I'm guessing I need to set a combat area? Also some of the terrain is black on the map where in other parts its ok-ish.

Also what are the defualt kits with mec/america becaues I somehow have ffed mine up...


What are the things for this?

of course you need a combat area!

if terrian is black there are 2 possible problems:

first you may have not painted a detail texture?
secound you may have not generated lowdetail maps
or the editor have packed the texture files wrong (which often happends to => vista users)

you should also change the kit-spawn layout...take a look in kashan/server.zip/init.con

which size is your map ?

To help you with the kits, in your Init.con file, you need to change the kits spawners. Your best bet would be to open another map that is finished(For example Kashan or Basra, depending on gamemode.) I copied the Basra infomation for my map since it was the same stuff. So if yours is USMC v. MEC go and choose Muttrah.

correct... its located in the server.zip > gamemodes of the mapfolder

I first started working that map, the size was big as kashan or bigger. I forget.

Thanks for the help guys, I know can spawn in and walk around, But now I placed a load of barrels down but I can't see them... They are there in the editor but I can't seem them in game, if its any help they are on a bit of the black texture stuff.


I am going to try generate low detail maps now and see if that helps

are these custom?? Or in reg PR or BF2?

They are the PR blue barrels..

I have tried everything to get the textures to work (except re-painting it) but it still is black/water.

My map is 4km and is this the problem? As I have read about 4km maps not being very user-friendly.

Well here is an update, adding in the line of code work (somewhat but still the ground is black)

I also added the low detail type of whatever it is called and set low detail types and generated them, but still no luck.

I am getting another clan member on XP to package it and see if that fixes the texture problems.

Whish me luck
