hello again. im having a big problem with the death star crates. Iv'e been editing a shiped geonosis map and loaded in the Death Star crates. when i go throught steam to load up my map it freezes for over 2 minutes. Ive never got aroud to taking away the galactic civil war so when i put in the death star crates on that blank map it works. so it has to eather be something with the clone war era or the geonosis map because it works on my blank galactic civil war map.

sorry for the confusion. If you would like to understand my problem better follow the turtorial here but with the shiped geonosis map ONLY on the clone wars. add in the death stars odf's msh's effects and munged files (like you normaly would). add the death star crate stack 3, then play the map.

thanks for the help :amidala:

This seems like it isn't really a problem with the crates themselves, could you post 1). your error log, and 2). the lua file for your map. these would really help us understand/solve your problem.

EDIT: Also try a clean and munge, this doesn't always work, but you never know.

my lua ill just post my error log file as a download its to many characters

I have only recently figured out how to generate an error log. Ive always ran my game through steam and it works that way but not with the no dvd thing that runs the debug thing, so it might be backed up with errors

Does it freeze on the last loading dot? Sounds like you might have too many objects in your map. Try removing one crate object at a time until your map no longer freezes, just to make sure it is indeed an object count problem.

well i must be going over some kind of count because i removed a lot of important objects and the creates worked, but when i added in more objects i wanted it would stop working so i had to delete more. i guess this could be an object count problem, but is the object count how many objects you have or the complexity if the objects you have. also i dont think its poly limit because my map freezes rather than crashing and going back to the desktop.

if my problem is an object count(complexity) isuee is there ANY posible way to get around this.

In my experience, the complexity of the object doesn't seem to matter. As for your problem here, the only way around it is to merge objects together in a modeling problem such as XSI, and then place them in ZE as one object.

so portals and sectors shouldent have anything to do with my problem because they only are to help polys ? and polys dont freeze the map or do they

also i checked my wrl file and i dont think im over the object limit

Portals and sectors have to do with helping with the rendering of objects to prevent them from flickering/disappearing/reverting to their low resolution forms.

I'm sorry, but did you not just describe a scenario involving you going over the object limit? You were over the limit; you then removed objects so that it put you under the limit, and then you added more objects, which consequently put you over the limit again. This was why I suggested earlier to remove one object at a time until the freezing is no longer present so that you can be certain where that limit is.
