Doesn't this FPM restrict your view too much? You can only see out of a small portion of center screen.

Not very good luck in terms of Battlefront 2 modding today. I've hit two roadblocks; one, the string pool error resurfaced (the only thing I added was DarthD.U.C.K.'s Venator hallways and doors, so creating a "new" hallway, aka copying the ODF and renaming it, while using the same MSH, should fix the problem). I've just got to find out which type of hallway is causing the problem.

The second problem is more serious. ZeroEditor now crashes whenever I attempt to load my map. Running the program isn't the problem; loading the map is. It loads, then: "ZeroEditor has stopped working". (Doesn't everybody hate that message? Just let it run!) It might be a problem with tampering with the SC1_CW-Ships.lyr file, to get the above problem fixed, which involves changing the object from the original to the copied one. Loading it without CW-Assault and CW-CTF layers failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So the 0.51 beta will be delayed. I am now guessing that if these problems are fixed within a week or two, I may be able to get the beta up by halfway through October. Sorry.

Wow. You are talking like you know something (you probably do) and for that I congratulate you! You seemed to have picked up modding and just gone with it, so from here on my computer (if you could see me (I hope not)) I applaud you. Just think of what you will do the next time around!

I just want to know how long it had taken you to read the tutorials?

This may be a problem with a specific model you are trying to load, when a really complicated model trys to get loaded, it crashes ZE. I sugesst, removing the any new models ODF you had added to your worlds odf folder and try to load it again, a COULD NOT FIND ODF OR MSH "NAME" message will appear but you can load your map at least, just a thought.

Maybe you could create a new map with the same name and start replacing one by one the files in the world1 folder (.TER, .WLD, etc, not the odf and msh files) to see which one is making your zeroeditor crash.

Ok, I found the problem: SC1_CW-Ships.lyr. I ran ZE, loaded my .wld file, selected nothing, then ran it. It crashed at SC1_CW-Ships.lyr.

Here's the story: I've tried to cheat the string pool error for the Venator corridors by creating a new ODF, "neu_prop_corridor_basicII" and changing nothing inside. This couldn't be done within ZE (trying to change what the object is is impossible, ZE doesn't like it), so I went into the SC1_CW-Ships.lyr to fix the problem. This seems to have caused the crash in ZE.

I've uploaded my CW-Ships.lyr file to RapidShare. I know everyone doesn't like to wait, but this site prevented me from uploading it, so I had to go there. So, without further ado, here it is:
http://rapidshare.com/files/419068266/S ... s.lyr.html
Please post if you think you've found the problem.

EDIT: I think I've found the problem: I munged it just now and ran it through the MPC (Debugger). It spit out these particular results:

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\EntityProp.cpp(539)
Prop "neu_prop_corridor_basic" geometry "neu_prop_corridor_basic" not found
(probably the copied neu_prop_corridor_basic, I've had this problem with Obi-Wan's starfighter too)

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\EntityProp.cpp(921)
Prop "neu_prop_corridor_basic" not built: "ALL YOUR MODEL ARE BELONG TO US."
Now I'm creeped out.

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\EntityProp.cpp(921)
Prop "neu_prop_corridor_basicII" not built: "ALL YOUR MODEL ARE BELONG TO US."
Same as above, except it's the II version.

maybe there are little people in your computer stealing the models...

or Soviet Spies!! AHHH!!

I think you should really look at the severity error guide found in the modding section. It may or may not help.

For the errors, are you sure the mesh name is "neu_prop_corridor_basic.msh"?

Just making sure.

Yes, of course. It's just another problem with my map :|
I haven't even tampered with the insides of the basic corridor's ODF file.
Edit: @MrCrayon: Uh-oh, not teeny tiny gremlins ;)
I checked the error section, it was listed, however no solution could be found. I'll do a forumwide search tomorrow (I'm on my iPod touch)

Like I said a few posts ago, REMOVE THE ODF, then load the lyr, save it then prob should be solved.

I know, eh? It-won't-do-this, it-won't-do-that . . .
Any suggestions?

EDIT: Additional Info/Summary:
-ZE DOES load when absolutely nothing is checked.
-ZE also loads CTF only (top box: CTF only, bottom box: CTF, no Common or CW-Ships)
-Loading CTF plus Common checked crashes ZE.
-Loading CTF and CW-Ships, minus Common, crashes ZE.
-Loading CW-Ships only crashes ZE.
-When only the first box is checked, it loads SC1.wld, then loads SC1_CW-Ships.lyr about 25% then it crashes.

-ZE is not corrupted (it loads other maps).
-Even a SC1_CW-Ships.lyr, made two days before the crash, crashes in ZE.
-Therefore, something that CW-Ships and/or Common loads is causing the crash. CTF mode and anything it loads is unaffected.
-However, the "clean" SC1_CW-Ships.lyr may have already been affected but has shown no signs of a problem at that time.
-My suspicion is SC1.wld itself, but that's only a suspicion.

List of files:
-Modified 8/17/2010: SC1.ANM
-Modified 8/15/2010: "SC1": .BAR, .BND, .CUS, .GRP, .HNT, .LDX, .LGT, .LLL, .PLN, .PTH, .PVS, .RGN, /.TER, .TGA, .wld + "SC1_": CTF.HNT, CTF.LGT, CTF.lyr, CTF.PTH, CTF.RGN, CW-Ships.HNT, CW-Ships.LGT, CW-Ships.lyr, CW-Ships.PTH, CW-Ships.RGN.
-Modified 8/11/2010: SC1.sky

I'VE FOUND IT!!!
Turns out it was a modified msh file in the MSH folder for my world. Good thing I caught it now!
(That fits in with the other crashes I've been having when I'm trying to hex edit MSHs. Is there a tutorial? I think I really need one!)

I am now in the process of trying to change objects from basic to basicII, etc. I'll keep updating as progress progresses.
