TerrainMunge crashing

Rikino · Post by **Rikino** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 1:07 pm

I've made my map 512x512. Added units, edited it, it was working great. Then, after a few benign edits, I munged again.

Only this time, TerrainMunge.exe crashes halfway through itself.

(Just a gratuitous unhelpful image)

Here's PC_MungeLog.txt:

ERROR[levelpack PAB.req]:Expecting bracket, but none was found.

I have not edited the actual files of the map, only through Zeroedit.

I've tried re-saving the map and munging, didn't work. And yes, I have tried cleaning and re-munging, to no avail.
Now, I'm guessing it stems from the map being 512x512. Does that make it unstabler?

in your PAB req file you are missing a bracket somewhere...

No, no I'm not.
It might be somthing else in there, though? I don't think so, though. Tell me if I should post it.

Ya but that's not why terrain munge is crashing. It happened to me once as well but it was only a side mod, not a full map so I didn't bother looking into it....

It seems like it couldn't open certain files. That could be your problem...

yes you are... hence the error

So you can see for yourself, here's my PAB.req, missing bracket-free.

ucft
{
REQN
{
"config"
}

REQN
{
"texture"
"PAB_map"
}
REQN
{
"path"
"PAB"
}
REQN
{
"congraph"
"PAB"
}
REQN
{
"envfx"
"PAB"
}
REQN
{
"world"
"PAB"
}
REQN
{
"prop"
"PAB"
}
REQN
{
"class"
"bluelight"
"redlight"
"greenlight"
"whitelight"
}
REQN
{
"config"
"flyerspray"
"walkerstomp"
"hailfire_wake"
}
REQN
{
"lvl"
"PAB_conquest"
}
}

Like I said, I haven't edited it at all.

Anyways, I did a mass 'un-read only' on the entire folder, like Darth_Z13 said. Didn't crash, but still didn't work. I'ma doing a clean/munge now to see if it works un-read only-fied.

EDIT: Nope. Still crashes.

No, he's not. That req file in question is creating during the munge, and it can't create the req completely because something is wrong with the terrain.

In answer to your question -- try browsing to data_XXX/_BUILD_PC/Worlds/XXX/PC and deleting everything in that folder (these are the munged files) then re-munging. Sometimes if you stop a munge a file will get corrupted.

Again with the crash. That didn't help.

I'd survive without it, but I just wanted to know what sort of thing would cause the crash, for future refrence.

This is a common problem with people who try to add terrains to space maps...you'r not trying to do that are you?

You might also see if you have any sharp inclines on your terrain, and check to see how many layers of textures you're using too.

Yep, it was the textures. I did two things (now I'm kicking myself; should have done them one at a time to see which was the problem):

-I didn't have a texture on the first square thingy, so I filled that in.
-I made pretty much the whole map one texture, instead of having mixed spots all over the entire 512x512 area. That might've taken up too much memory or somthing.

Thanks for the help, guys!
