Thx alot , i will try it right now and btw i know the map tutorial thing but it doesnt say anything about how to put water

Edit: oh sorry and why is my map size 300+ ? its weared i didnt place any car yet or even a big city its only about 5 to 8 buildings and some wires

[Amok@ndy]

the filesize is mostly up to the textures
the buildings and things like that you place are only 1 string in a .con file

Follow the tutorials carefully, should have all info. Water is already there, but you need to choose the height level for the water, the water atm is most likely deep underground. Your map size gets reduced to normal size of 25-120MB when you pack it, follow tutorials to find about packing. Editor files can take be like 700mb. There is many things what you need to do before you can test the map ingame, just follow tutorials.

i read the tutorial alot , i could of missed it but thx for telling and i tried the other DEV thing it didnt work , i will look in the tutorial now and see what i find

P.S: i dont see the map when i try to host it localy , its not done yet i just want to make sure that i can request kits and can get into choppers , BTW i saw things thats not in pr , can i realy put that in ? ?!

[Bedo-2010]

post your /youmap/info/[yourmapname].desc
im sure you havent set it up in the right way ! to do this just open a similar map and copy and paste the gamemodes

thats the point , i dont even have an INFO folder xD , its all like map color and tons of other names ! its like game mode folder , texture things , editor folder , but i dont have info , i do have them in the other maps but my custome map i dont sorry but u can figure that am new

[Amok@ndy]

then your editor crashed while you were creating your map ?
then you need to copy and paste the whole Info folder and replace the old mapname with yours

[Bedo-2010]

i did crash , and i had a problem when ever i creat a map it crashes! but it is created so i load it from the loading thing , i will try that right now thx ,

p.s: can u help me with the water thing? i realy searched alot for it i dont see it xD

edit: oh yeah one more thing , how to make the loading screen look like my map?! painting stuff?!

[Bedo-2010]

ITS not there! T_T , am soo close from killing my self :S , i dont have any kind of INFO folder! and puting a new one and renaming it didnt work , come on guys i planed to put this on PR and hope it comes in the next patch

[Bedo-2010]

set some overgrowth up and complie the overgrowth atlas. (you can try to read the error messages, they always (well not always but often ) point you to something that is wrong, as you can read there its the overgrowth. best to do now would be do search the bfeditor froums or use google and search for possible CTDs (Crash To Desktops) related to overgrowth or simple search the error message with google to get to a thread/forum where they might have a solution for it)

[Bedo-2010]

thx for anwesring but , i found the problem , i saw this error with a guy in PR forums he fixed it by adding overgrowth , the problem is whenever i try to set denisty to the overgrowth or save it i get a red error saying cannot open file at edit/tmp/(atlas file thing)

i dont even have that folder in the overgrowth folder! or in the tmp , i dont know how to get it , and again thx , i hope after u guy knew what exactly is my prop u know the fix

thx for the water thing , i spend hours searching for that but another DEV told me how to make water yesterday thx again ( why coudnt we just Drag and Drop it would be much easyer )

[BroCop]

Well IDK how to fix it per say but Rudd told me once that relaunching the editor might generate the overgrowth atlas (because i had the same error and apparently the editor didnt want to generate the atlas for some reason).

[Bedo-2010]

ya well , i relunched it alot! , am stell working on the map and am not even sure after i finish will i be able to get in the map or not , anyway if some one could sent the file to me that would be great . if its possible ! thx again

[Amok@ndy]

the overgrowthatlas is idividual for each map depending on the vegitation objects you have placed

[Bedo-2010]

but i didnt place anyyyyyyyy , the file it self isnt there ! i did place them to fix it but it didnt fix so i undo them but ya what to do ? :S

[Bedo-2010]

ok , i fixed the overgrowth but now i crash at 14% with no error!!

i had some bf2 vanila things like apc , but i removed it ( i dont have the btr of PR why is that?! ) and why i got bf2 vanila cars on pR?!

plz help
