I edited my world file only, and pasted it in the addon folder (Tean's tut; more maps in one folder) and i made sure to add correct lines to the lua... I added the scarlacc btw, and the crawler from the Tat bf1 assets.. Now, directly after loading, the map crashes! It must be something with lua or other scripting, since it worked fine before this munge.. Here's the log:

Thanks in advance!

That is a strange error. I put BF1's assets in my map and it didn't crash.

Take a look at it in ZeroEdit.

How do you mean? In ZE, i just added these objects to the map, and after munging it was like this... Shall i show pics? Also, maybe i've got to add lines to the lua to make the scarlacc (tentacles) or Crawler work? You know that, right Tean?

Yeah, the Sarlacc was weird. I had to create a custom side for it since it was animated (it worked fine the old way in SWBF1). Then in ZE I just had a copy of it in my world1/odf & msh which I deleted at munge time.

Okay, will try the thing Ace, thanks.. I've added the tentacles as well in ZE, this might be the crash. Those tat buildings work fine, they always that... Thanks for all help and I'll get back with results soon

I don't know if you can copy a layer in ZE, but you can always copy the layer's text files in the world folder.

For some reason, everytime i follow the tut on adding hunt mode, i get stuck with the adding layers etc.. Then, only the base layer shows up, meaning only items, and no cp's/specific layer objects.. Can anybody write a descriptive tut on this in ZE? thanks And what do you mean Zerted?

Oh and Ace, you're way of adding Sarlacc didn't work: wasn't ingame!

Hidden/Spoiler:

Clean and re-munge.

You've got a point there

Will clean and remunge.. Is there a tut for mapping noobs how to add a new layer in ZE? I just can't get them in correctly.. Thanks in advance

Don't you just go to configure and then go to the section and click add layer? (rehtorical question)

Nah, you need to do more i believe, and that's where i get stuck every time :S

Adding a new layer in ZE is easy.
Click on the Change button
A Layers window will pop up.
Hit New it will create a new layer and give it a default name of Layer000.
Right click on it to change the name to whatever you want.
While the window is open and this might be of interest to MandeRek you can move all the data from one layer to another.
To do so click on the layer where the stuff is you want to move.
Click the Move Data Into Layer... button, this will open another window, choose the layer you want to move the data to and press okay.

Now the other part of adding layers:
Close the layers window
Click the Configure button, you will notice by default the new layer you created is in the Common column. If that is where it is supposed to be you can skip the next steps.
If it is not going to be on the common layer but specific to a mode click on the layer name under the Common heading a press remove (don't worry it is not a delete)
Next to move it to a specific mode click on a mode, it will show you all layers that are associated only with that game mode.
Click on the Add button under the Layers Used heading a window will pop up with all the layers that are not common layers.
Click on the layer you want to add to the Mode and press OK.
The final step is what it says to do at the bottom
Update your WLD and MRQ files (the ldx and wld is done on a normal save) You just have to press the Update World REQ file button which does the REQ and MRQ files.
Highlight your world's req file and press Open and it will save all the appropriate things for you.

That's all.

Thanks Frag, the mistake was that i always selected the req file from the mission folder, very stupid..

Ace, where did you get 3 munged anims files for the Sarlacc? I found 2 in the BF1 assets, and after munging it gave me this:
I created a PC folder in world1/munged and put the same files in there as well, but still the same log.. Have you got suggestions, or maybe just your working files? Thanks in advance, and for all help before!

I think I have that file at home if Ace doesn't. If nobody posts it by the end of today I will.

Thanks! Great Tean!

Here i've got a sudden crash which made me CRY! I tried to add a layer like FragMe! explained, and i did everything as it said, but NO SINGLE layer works ingame, so with the unit select the map is just black, and you can't spawn since the cp's are also gone! I thought to fix this by merging all layers into [base], but same problem.. Here's the errorlog:
Please help! The map was done, only the sarlacc left, and restarting would be a hell!

(note: layers show up correct in ZE)

Thanks

Were there any munge errors?
Can you post a picture of the configuration screen, the place where you assign different layers to the different modes.

Also post your worlds .REQ file.

Nope, no munge errors, only about the Sarlacc as I've posted before..

The REQ: Config pic: You can clearly see i messed up.. The yuz and base are the only LAYERS left, and yuz is empty. Base consists of everything including cp's etc. The lua's call out for yuz, since it's empty and base will be loaded anyway.. PLEASE help

Yes you did bugger it up
I am going to assume by looking at the picture that you only have a conquest mode correct?
That or else you have game modes called test1, manderek, and yuz but I am going to assume those are layers.
If you look in your world1 folder how many .LYR files do you have and do they match what the layers should be.
Did you add the YUZ as a mode?
What layers show up in the change window?
