Question for modders/mappers

FighterRex · Post by **FighterRex** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 7:41 pm

Hi! I'm currently working on my first map called Naboo: Riverside Village. Everything has been going relatively smoothly with ZeroEditer and the luas, however when I decided to munge my map for the first time, I get this popup in NotePad (I also included a screenshot of it):

ERROR[levelpack mission\NRVc_con.req]:Expecting bracket, but none was found.
File : munged\pc\nrvc_con.script.req(1)...

ucft <--
ERROR[levelpack mission\NRVc_con.req]:Expecting bracket, but none was found.
File : munged\pc\nrvc_con.script.req(1)...

2 Errors 0 Warnings

Could anybody help? When I start up SWBF2, It shows the loading screen, then CTD.

If you need to see my luas or screenshots of anything, just ask me and I'll post them. Thanks in advance!

Okay, I couldn't upload the image. But the quote above just about says it all. If you still need a screenshot, I'll just upload it to one of those free upload sites. :jango:

Whenever you get an error similar to this one, it is because you screwed up in one of your scripts. In this case the error would be in the script

Code: Select all

nrvc_con

. So you can either check for the missing bracket as the error message says, or post your bfront2 error log ( look in the at the top of the forum for a tutorial on how to get the error log, it is stickied.)

I cant find a missing bracket anywhere, and I searched the entire thing, especially the parts that I edited.

I also looked on that page, and I can't find a solution. In the fifth post by Syth, the first problem he talked about was very similar to my problem. However, I don't know what he means by "do a manual clean".

Also, didn't I post my BF2 error log? Or was that something different? Here's my lua, btw, if anyone wants to take a look at it.

Link to manuel clean tut = http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =27&t=9961
Very useful thread, the FAQ = http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=13806
And because I don't know where the error log tut is, I'll write on myself.
1. Take the program BF2_modtools and move it to Lucasarts/Battlefront II/Gamedata.
2. Run the program, choose your map and watch it ctd.
3. Now there should be a new .txt file called bfront2. Open that and look for severity 3 errors. If you don't feel confident in looking throught it yourself, make sure to post it on the site (Don't put it up for download, just copy\paste the contents into a post and if you DO beed to upload something, you should use filefront.com.)

Okay. So I did a manual clean which didn't work, and then I hit clean in VisualMunge. That didn't work either. I copied the program over, then ran it and it CTD. Here's the BFront2 file:

Code: Select all

So there is a Message Severity: 3.

Also, after munging, I'm now getting a slightly different message:

Those two line are telling you exactly where the errors are. Check carefully around there.

Youre forgetting to put commas in after loading units!

Code: Select all

   ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
                    "all_inf_rifleman",
                    "all_inf_rocketeer",
                    "all_inf_sniper",
                    "all_inf_engineer",
                    "all_inf_officer",
                    "all_inf_wookiee",
                    "all_hero_hansolo_tat"]

That is supposed to be a parenthesis, not a bracket.

Sorry about that, it was originally a parenthesis

FighterRex · Post by **FighterRex** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 1:06 pm

Okay, so I looked in my luas, and I was missing some commas. That fixed the errors in the MungeLog! Here's my new MungeLog:

Code: Select all

WARNING[PC_modelmunge world1\msh\nab2_prop_statue04.msh]:nab2_prop_statue04 has 1074 vertices and NO COLLISION GEOMETRY (WILL BE SLOW)!

However, when I tried to munge (two times), it keeps crashing on startup.

So I looked in my BFront2 file, and there's still that Message Severity 3 thing:

Code: Select all

However, I don't know what it means.

Do a manual clean and munge.
In the mungelog if it says Warning you can ignore that. You cant ignore it if it says Error

FighterRex · Post by **FighterRex** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 2:29 pm

Not working

another map i have, a space map, is have the same problem (CTD, no errors in the MungeLog).

Post by **FragMe!** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 3:01 pm

Try creating a new map, don't add anything to it, munge it and see if that works in game.

SAMofBIA · Post by **SAMofBIA** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 5:57 pm

anyone else notice that he missed a dc: ??? XD cant believe im first to notice
should be:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\all.lvl",

"all_inf_rifleman",

"all_inf_rocketeer",

"all_inf_sniper",

"all_inf_engineer",

"all_inf_officer",

"all_inf_wookiee",

"all_hero_hansolo_tat")

should it not?

Jendo7 · Post by **Jendo7** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 6:04 pm

Depends if he's made a custom side, I suppose.

DarthD.U.C.K. · Post by **DarthD.U.C.K.** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 6:08 pm

the game doesnt get to the missionlua, it cant even find the addme.lua that determinates the missions...

SAMofBIA · Post by **SAMofBIA** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 7:33 pm

@jendo, he has because he has han solo
@ duck, oh...

Jendo7 · Post by **Jendo7** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 4:02 am

Oh, I thought that was stock Han Solo.

Anakin · Post by **Anakin** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 7:16 am

It would be useful if you can tell us what you changed.

have you add some new vehicles?? or speeder??

what files have you copied from the assets folder to your sides folder??

have you changed the mission/addme/core/ingame file?? or only your MAPc_con file??

if you changed other files pls upload

Wrong.

The .lvl is loaded from the stocks (in this case the stock all.lvl), he can just load an extra playermodel, from the stock .lvl

(in fact Han Solo is set as a hero in EVERY default BF2Modtools maps, by default. So yeah, its stock han solo)
