[Help] Custom Map Not Loading (Crashes at 14%)

I've created my own map and so far i have:
  • Painted The Entire Terrain. (Using T-Paint)
  • Placed Some Statics.
  • Placed 2 Spawn Points 1 for each team.
  • Placed Object Spawners.
  • Set the Teams, and kits.
  • Edited the init. file, although maybe not all of it.
  • Kind of made layers, just 1 layer. for the spawners (Training_64)
  • Edited Info File on notepad. (So gpm_training is the only mode)
  • Deleted All other game Mode Folders Other than "gpm_cq" and "gpm_training"
Ive been trying to test the map out, by moving the map from pr_edit to pr.
Then loging into a offline account (Local Play account), going into the "Training" tab
Creating a Local Training Match, the map loads up to 14-15% and crashes to desktop.

I think i could be beacause i deleted the other GamePlayMode folders like "gpm_skirmish" etc.
Maybe because i havent done the env maps or light maps yet.
Or havent edited a file in notepad correctly.
Or i havent edited a certain file or changed some settings.

Does anyone know why im not able to load my map up for testing?
It may be beacause i havent done something, on the tutorial list...
Plz Help :neutral: thanks

Heres the error message, i think the crashes are related to me editing the objects file so i could spawn a US kit from a object spawner, found on this topic: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f66-pr-community-modding/57025-adding-spawnable-kits-all-factions.html

Now I dont know any mapping code or whatever so if you see this before you see an official dev or expert answer I give you a tip that I use for coding flash and what not.

When you think something is causing problems, get it out or replace it with a standard thing.

You say:
i think the crashes are related to me editing the objects file so i could spawn a US kit from a object spawner
Its good that you have a hunch of what is causing the problem. Remove that thing or block of code and run the map. See if it still comes up with the same error. If not, you know where the problem is and A: You can look for means to solve it. B: Make peace with it and move on without it.

If your problem is still there, keep looking and put that special code or object back in.

I have done that and yet the crashes still happen, ive looked in the "GAMEPLAYOBJECTS" file and have looked for the "us_sniper" object spawner so i can delete it but i cant find it in the "GPO". Even before i had deleted the item in Bf2 editor, so i deleted this item in the BF2 editor. But it still crashes.

This is what i did that caused the problem.

Were there any Custom Created objects? if so you need to include them into your pr folder as well as pr_edit

The closest thing to a custom object was, when i created a object spawner called "semi" which spawned a semi (truck/big-red), i then went intot the GPO file and edited the file so that the spawner spawned a us_sniper kit, by changing the "semi" to "us_sniper". I've sorted this issue out now, I think....but am now facing another problem it crashes once again, just before the map finishes loading. Heres the error message.

Ive sorted the first problem out, but i am now getting issues, when the map is fully loaded and verifing client data. It crashes and an error message pops up.
I dont have any idea what this error message means, although i managed to sort out the other error messages by deleting the objects that came up.

Does anyone know what this error message is reffering to?
