hi all, just starting out modding and having some problems...
right now im just trying to make a very simple map, as i haven't gotten ZE to work yet.
basically all i've done is make my own unit using existing weapons, models, etc. from existing classes, oh and remove the GCW era. I've looked through the error log and can't find any severity: 3 messages to tell me how i messed up

first off, welcome to GT man, secondly, does your map name show up correctly in the selection screen in bf2? because with some computers the munge doesnt work correctly at first and makes maps with the name %$%_ABC_%$% or something like that (ABC being the 3 letter name you gave your map)

SAMofBIA, that's what happens if you don't have the 1.1 patch installed. It doesn't affect the map in any way. (Besides making it easier to choose the map)

did you get any munge errors ?

i beg to differ cress, i had the 1.1 patch installed, and i didnt have the mungefix and my map names appeared somewhat like that and crashed indefinetely when attempting to play them. after i got the munge fix, it turned up how it should and they worked after munging.

I thought that when your map shows up like "%$%_ABC_%$%" its because your modtools doesn't work right. I have that problem with the names, and I have the 1.1 patch installed. I believe it has something to do with the computer's compatability with modtools. I heard Vista, and Windows 7 (thats what I have) doesn't work so well. I think that's why I had problems, cause windows 7.
Luckily I have an older computer, so I use that for modding.
Do you have a _LVL_PC folder in your mod's folder? If you don't have one, that might be a problem. And I am not very good with BFlog errors, but I would say, one or more of your lvl files, or LUA scripts is not being set up right. I am not sure though. Just a guess.

it is displayed properly, i do have the 1.1 patch, and I'm using windows 7 professional 64-bit, so I was having problems munging, but i have since used vista mungefix and now everything's working so it's all cool, thanks

yes that was my error as well with win7, you can fix that with the vista munge fix btw, so you might want to give that a try colonel.

Oh, I didn't know there was a fix. I'll give it a try. My other computer is pretty old, so it takes a while to munge, and it takes like five minutes loading up battlefront (and the modtools.exe) and then loading the map. And, if I could do the modeling thing, I would have to use a USB port stick and copy and paste, and copy and paste again, to get the model and texture from one computer to the other.
Well, I think I have embarressed myself enough, so......
