Map Crash without any reason

elfie · Post by **elfie** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 12:54 pm

Oddly my map crashed that I have been working on for a very long time. I haven't touched any of the luas, World.req files, sky files, fx files or any part of the sides for a while. All i did was place an object that I had made in XSI in ZE and it appeared translucent in Zeroeditor also for an unknown reason. I munged my map and got only three errors:

Hidden/Spoiler:

it looks like your .lua is named "copy of WARg_ctf.lua" rename it to get rid of "copy of"

Post by **Teancum** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 1:55 pm

Or, if you have the original files and "copy of" files, then move the "copy of"s to the root directory of your project, just to make sure they don't get munged.

elfie · Post by **elfie** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 5:25 pm

Did it and still got FATAL. I didn't think that was the problem. I have probably munged my map a hundred times since the last time I changed the scripts. The system seems to be acting bizare. It is munging files that I haven't edited for a whole month for some reason.

EDIT:
ARGHH!!!! It doesn't work anymore!! All that time I spent on this map is gone.

When do you get FATAL? I get it sometimes when I have too many programs open and try to test a map.

You haven't lost it entirely. If all else fails, do a manual clean and rar the side up, then upload it and give me the link. You're a good member of the community so it's no big deal to help you. Leave me as a last resort though as I'm pretty busy.

Thanks Tean, I really appreciate that! I promise I wont bug you unless I absolutly have to. And to everyone else who has been helping me thank you also! This is a pretty decent map and I don't want it to not work because then I can't release it so all of you guys can enjoy it.

I will try and fix it as best I can. It is weird though, I think something happened to the files out of no where, because the munge was munging files that have not been modified for a long time and it usually never does that.

well as nooby as i am i think i know how something mite help. i have the same problem on one of my maps but i ditched it couldn't figure out what it was

anyway if i got this correctly then you have an object or side that is messing you up i'm not sure hwo to get the object to work but if you have a different map with that side setup use the lvl file from it instead of your game also try using an lua from a different map with the same teams/gamemode setup (make sure to back up everything) if neither or those work try doing procces of elimination going through files that in any way COULD be dammaged or messed up and replacing them with usable files from other maps

Post by **Teancum** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 11:35 am

FATALs have to do with the addme.lua file or anything that's related to it (mission.req, each of the luas, their reqs, etc). Have you touched any of those at all? Post mission.req and your addme.lua.

elfie · Post by **elfie** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 12:23 pm

Haven't touched them, that is what is strange. One moment it worked fine and then not. Here they are anyhow though:
Mission.req:

[/code]

The only thing I remember doing before it crashed was placing an object that I made in Zeroeditor. That is it. No lua editing or anything. I remember placing it and the map crashed which it hasn't for a long time so I went in Zeroeditor and tried to delete the object when I noticed it wasn't there. I didn't even get a mungelog error saying that the reason it crashed was because of a bad object or anything.

Post by **Teancum** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 2:03 pm

Well, it's barfing because it can't build mission.lvl properly. Did you end up moving all the "Copy of" lua files to your root folder so there's no way it tries to munge them?

elfie · Post by **elfie** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 2:45 pm

Hey great news, It works now!!!!

Aparently the object that I made for some reason made the map crash. So I got rid of the object and now it works!!! Thanks again everyone for the great help you have given me.
