I have been working on a mod for a few months now and all of a sudden it started crashing. I haven't changed the mines at all since over a month ago but now they are giving grief.

heres the error i have in the log.
i've looked in the odfs and couldn't find a problem but here are the odfs anyway.

here is the mine here is the dispenser

The dispenser should have an Ordnance line telling it what to dispense, I believe. Or is that not the whole odf, or a common odf?

that was the common odf here is the side one.

I don't know much in odfs, but two OrdnanceName isn't too much ?

Well it shouldn't really matter, he has the first one commented out. It shouldn't be there either way, as it just clutters the ODF up needlessly.

any ideas what could be wrong with it? i have made sure it was the mines, it doesn't crash on maps without the mines and it crashes on all maps with mines. so far i'm completely unsure what is wrong with it.

i've actually been at a complete stop on my mod i've been working on.

This is random, and probably not right, but could it be something to do with a .req file. Usually the classes are composed through .req, and if it can't find the entity class, it might not be in your req? That's probably just with units though....

its in my ingame.req for the common side but its not in the reqs of my sides, i also noticed that the error was in there twice so maybe this is whats wrong. i am munging now and will be back with results.

EDIT: Didn't work, but now there is only 1 of the errors in the log.

Could you post the whole error log?

Just curious what the names of your odf files are and what folders there in?

Names and folders:

com_weap_inf_mine_dispenser.odf: sides/common/odf
com_weap_inf_landmine_exp.odf: sides/common/odf
com_weap_inf_landmine_destroyed_exp.odf: sides/common/odf
com_weap_inf_landmine.odf: sides/common/odf

imp_weap_inf_mine_dispenser.odf: sides/imp/odf

That last one is also in the all side since they use the same weapon, it also calls for the mine from the odf in the common folder.

i'll have to edit in the full error log later as its too big to post here.

EDIT
uploaded it to minus as i can't use gamefront as of now.

Have you checked that the odf file "com_weap_inf_landmine" is in the commons folder?

I would suggest a manual side cleaning then remunging.

Manual side cleaning
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete all files and folder here: C:\BF2_ModTools\data_ABC\_BUILD\Sides\IMP
But do not delete the clean.bat and munge.bat.

Delete your imp.lvl and impshell.lvl here: C:\BF2_ModTools\data_ABC\_LVL_PC\SIDE

Lastly delete your imp.lvl and impshell.lvl in your addon folder, where ever you have it. (games directory)

Then remunge.

Just even more curious, what OS are you running?
What patch of the game are you using?

its in the common folder and the common folder in sides, i am using windows XP and i have the 1.1 patch and Zerted's 1.3 patch.

i'll try the manual clean again soon.

You did munge the common side first, right?

yes it has already been munged.

Try moving the common landmine files (mesh, texture and odf) into your custom side and see if that makes a difference. Do a manual clean before you munge just to be sure.

munged, still not working.

Try adding the completely stock mine weapon, test it, and gradually edit it to be like your new one, munging after most changes.

i was thinking of that, the only thing modded in my mine is the lifespan and the explosion damage but i'll test it out anyway.

Wow, and it doesn't work? Ouch.
