Hello i have been expieriencing some trouble trying to munge my map. Every time i try to munge it the map will change, but there will be no change object wise. I have an error code that appears afterwards, but i am not positive this is why it wont add my objects.

Message:


Any ideas?

Looks like these errors are for the sound. I'm not sure this is the problem but how many game modes does your map have?

Only conquest I have no idea why this is happening though and do u know how to fix the sound bc I think it isn't working correctly either

Not sure why you get those sound errors, but if you're trying to add objects, make sure the odfs and mshs are in the data_***/worlds/*** folder, where *** is the 3-letter map name.

Sorry I forgot to mention the textures won't work either it remains the gross yavin 4 background and the odf and msh files r in the right place I have my entire map made it just munges and adds nothing to my map other than the height of the landscape

Those sound errors in the error log are completely normal, and the error log generated by the munger usually doesn't tell you much. Try doing a manual clean, there is a tutorial stickied at the top of this forum.

Ok I will try but will the clean will also take care of the sound errors or is that a different story

I had this problem before and a manual clean fixed it right up.

Are you trying to edit the sounds? If not, you don't need to check "Sound" in the visualmunge menu.

Well it's good to know I'm not the only one who experienced this problem and I will definitely do a manual clean thank you and I hope it works :clone:

EDIT
Also no I accidentally hit sound in the munge menu

EDIT

Still no luck any other ideas?

Double posting is against the RULES; please EDIT your post instead -Staff

Wait can you post your BFront2.txt log? Maybe it will say why nothing is showing up.

I'm sorry but would you know where I can find that file?

Well, um... I think it's supposed to be stored in the install location for Battlefront, but if you have Windows 7 like mine it could be here:

or
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData
if you have 32 bit.

Somewhere along that chain of folders there could be a hidden folder, if you don't know how to show hidden folders do a computer search for: "BFront2".

You will get many results (or at least I do), at leas one of them will work.

Cool I shall post it up later today probably around 3:00



Edit

Hmm I searched BFront2 on my laptop and nothing came up is it because I have vista?

Hmmm... Apparently there are also a lot of issues with Vista and Battlefront modding... That might be the issue you are having. So the map does NOT crash after you munged it, right? You can play it, right? And you checked the Battlefront 2 install location?

My post disappeared for a minute

Make sure you run your map in the debug exe (BF2_modtools). That will generate a log with all errors of your map.

Ill be sure to do so I will post it up tomorrow I have to go to work

Oh yeah, thanks GAB, I completely forgot! It's just so automatic for me that I don't even realize that I do it. Make sure you copy the BF2_Modtools from the BF2 mod tools folder into the GameData folder in the install location before using it, if you have the Best of PC version of Battlefront please download the BF2_ModtoolsNODVD and put it in the above mentioned folder. Then run the mod tools, play the map on it, and then you BFront2 log will be made.

You should probably tell the admins to lock the topic now.

What!? Why? The topic is far from solved.

Oh, sorry. I read the last post and I assumed the problem was fixed.
