CPS wont show ingame

[TFA]Padawan_Fighter · Sat Apr 11, 2009 2:57 pm

I made a map halfway in the making, so I set up 4 CPs so I could check on the objects and buildings to make sure they're accurately placed. So I put them in ZE, then added spawn paths, assigned them to all the CPs, and stated the team names for the CPs. Then I munged.

When I started up the game, this showed up:

Do I NEED to add capture/control regions for this to work? I'm really frustrated and confused, it should work!

No, you don't need capture or control regions just to spawn. You do need paths assigned to each CP and you do need your CPs assigned to a team. As long as those are done and they're in a layer you're loading, you'll be fine.

They are in the Conquest layer, and I have the paths assigned. Am I missing a certain number of nodes? I have 6 in each of them. Is that too little?

I did. It still doesn't work. Here's what I did:

Got com_bldg_controlzone from Data_***/Common/odfs

Changed the layer to Conquest

Placed the Cps in the spots I want them, and assigned Spawn Paths to them.

Placed spawn paths with exactly 6 nodes (they end at 5 because it started at 0) and assigned them to CPs.

Assigned the CPs to the specified teams.

Munged.

And it doesn't work, and if you need more detail, here's the munge log:

Not really, unless this looks changed to you:

Code: Select all

   
    
    --This defines the CPs.  These need to happen first
    cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}
    cp2 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp2"}
    cp3 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp3"}
    cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp4"}
    
    
    
    --This sets up the actual objective.  This needs to happen after cp's are defined
    conquest = ObjectiveConquest:New{teamATT = ATT, teamDEF = DEF, 
                                     textATT = "game.modes.con", 
                                     textDEF = "game.modes.con2",
                                     multiplayerRules = true}
    
    --This adds the CPs to the objective.  This needs to happen after the objective is set up
    conquest:AddCommandPost(cp1)
    conquest:AddCommandPost(cp2)
    conquest:AddCommandPost(cp3)
    conquest:AddCommandPost(cp4)    
    
    
    conquest:Start()

    EnableSPHeroRules()
    
 end

You didn't say you were adding these to a conquest map - in that case, you may have to add the capture regions. Otherwise it looks like you tried to add a texture to your map that isn't saved with RLE compression off (or is otherwise wonky).

Just a tip for the future -- When you get munge errors (not warnings, errors) don't even bother trying to run your map until they are fixed.

Dude, there never was a cp5. there are FOUR CPs. No offense, but I have a feeling you're not listening.

Well how do I fix them?

I used the stock Polis Massa texture for my map...and what is RLE compression? and what does that have to do with CPs?

Post by **Teancum** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 4:34 pm

If you have a munge error your map will be screwed up. Period. As to what RLE compression is use the forum search.

[TFA]Padawan_Fighter · Sat Apr 11, 2009 5:54 pm

Ok...will turning off RLE compression (which I think is already off) fix the errors in my log? If not, then what will?

*EDIT* I just checked, none of the .tga files in any of the folders in my map have RLE compression on.

And how exactly did you check?

FelixXxX · Post by **FelixXxX** » Sat Apr 11, 2009 8:49 pm

dude did you change the map at all? if you used the polis massa map and .req the reason NOTHING is appearing is because you forgot to copy something OR the req file is not right OR can not be found OORR you used another maps .req file or RENAMED A .REQ file (no no no not when its a map .req) this has happened to me tell me what you did to ur map

Indeed. Unless you opened them one-by-one in GIMP/Photoshop and tried to save them you probably can't tell. I could be wrong, but I doubt it in this case.

My thoughts exactly. And if you did than please explain, I'm not aware that you can do that.
