Very weird problem.

Hi, I had munged my map (it is very close to the object limit) and it worked great in-game until about 5 min. into it, it crashed. I tried using the mod-tools and it crashed at the last second. I got the bfront2.log thankfully and the weirdest thing was this.

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 3
C:\Battlefront2\main\Battlefront2\Source\StringDB.cpp(54)
String pool is full: 32768 pool is not big enough!
I couldn't believe my eyes :shock: . It was "the error code of doom" that would always crash the map at the last second in both the mod-tools and the game. But for some reason it didn't crash at the last second in the game. I had to try it again in game just to see if I was lucky. Well... it wasn't luck. Now I'm sitting here wondering "Why in the world did it not crash!". This isn't making sense, is there any sort of explanation?

EDIT: Ok, I think I've narrowed it down a bit. I have 3 areas: Kashyyyk, Geonosis, and Utapau. When I enter Utapau from the outside using a vehicle it crashes. It didn't do this before, so why now?

i guess battlefront crashes beause it cant handle the number of objects it has to render (you can see)

Ok, I will get to moving it somewhere else sometime. Also, I was wondering why the Utapau wall/rock thing is hollow. I couldn't find anything in an msh.option file that has "-nocollision" in it. Is there any way to make this solid?

NOTE: I still can't figure out why the string pool error won't crash the map immediately (like it used to).

Hollow you mean by you can go through it? Yes, you can go through it.

*sigh


@linksith: the reason is that the msh contains one collisionprimitive which prevents the creating of a collision by visualmunge
