well, I'm making a map, wanted to add the sides to the game, but since im using ep2 units, i was unable to see all the skins on the msh viewer (well without some almost unnecassary altercations of skin names) so i decided to add the sides before the map was done, just to see how they look ingame, but I've been having some odd crashing issues, and as of right now i have no level 3 errors, which is causing me some concern.

Full bf2log:

the only custom unit I'm using is the Clone assassin, since i know that is one of the first questions asked about these crashes, which i beleive worked in the past (can't remember if I ever did use it before in a map)

though i doubt this has anything to do with my LUA, i will post it for the benifit of the doubt, since i could be wrong

*Extra Notes:
1.The map has no objects in it, it is a clear map with no objects, just textured with polis massa textures.
2.I removed the line ClothODF, from the rocketeer trooper ODF. since i changed the rocketeer to use the ep2 Trooper model instead of arc trooper, since i thought that the ep2 trooper model wouldn't use the cloth and would cause a crash
3.If you didn't see it in the LUA, i removed heroes and the only custom unit is the Clone Assassin from GT (i think Darth D.U.C.K. and someone else made it)
4. I appreciate all the help for this, and every other map ever made that utilized the service of this fine establishment, who knows how different the mods would look if this was never created

I'm also making a map with episode 2 units. I think you don't have to add the dc:SIDE\\hac.lvl line. I just left it as SIDE\\rep.lvl and it worked for me.

no, i reskinned the units thus i had to add the dc part.

hac though?
unless you changed the whole side's name to hac instead of rep, the ep2 clones will be in rep.lvl, not hac.lvl

i made a custom side, named it hac.

looking back i 4got to mention that >.<.

is there a hac.lvl in the side folder in the addon folder?

yes, it munged nicely,

before i CTD, I have a about 3-12 millisecs (or atleast enough time to see the clone trooper begin his reload animation) then it crashes, but the skin is white. though once i was able to click on another unit, and saw that one of the other units had the modified skin

not sure if this could be of use. just something i recently remembered,

also is there a limit to how many times you can override a texture for a model? I have 4 units using the ep2 trooper model, each with its own texture.

If it comes down to it, im willing to post every single units odf.

Are you sure you saved the skin with RLE compression off?

Regardless, forgetting to turn off RLE doesn't cause a crash. Seeing as it crashes as soon as the first (faulty) unit spawns, there's most likely something wrong with one of the units. (Probably a typo somewhere)

I'd suggest figuring out which one's the problem by deleting a single unit (through the lua), munging, see if it still crashes, if it doesn't, re-add the unit, delete another one, etc. etc.

(seeing as the only costum unit is the assassin, I'd start with that one)

Rather than deleting the unit and risking corruption, just comment the units out.

That's what I meant

ok so it was the assassin, though I now have an Idea as to why it doesn't work.

So, after much looking over and altercations, i think i've narrowed it down, could it be the combo file? due to the error log saying something about the combo file, and if so can someone help me point out what is wrong with the file, due to me having no skills in combo filing
sorry about the size, but at least it is hidden...

Odd it always crashes when I forget to turn it off.
