Alright I have these 2 maps, perhaps my best 2. I was excited to test these, but when, specifically and ONLY these maps, are in the AddOn folder, BF2 crashes before it gets to profile selection. Whats wrong?

When it crashes at the selection it is usually a problem with a character, or a vehicle spawning. To see if its a character turn the unit count to zero when you're playing, and then if it works, go through the units until one crashes the map, and then you know which unit has the problem. If it still crashes even when the unit count is on zero then it is probably a vehicle problem, or the error I'm having, but most likely vehicle.

I believe he means the Main menu.
Anyway, it may be something wrong with the munge. Try manual cleaning it and then try.

Yeah profile selection generally means 'Main Menu'. Alright ill try that, Finger.

Also beyond the normal map creation and modded sides have you changed anything else, like ingame.lvl or common.lvl or addme?
Also how many maps do you have in your addon directory? There is a limit to the amount you can have, around 50 I believe.
The game when loading does read the contents of the addon folder (specifically the addme and ingame lvl files) so it can index all the maps correctly therefore if there is something wrong in the addme or ingame it may choke it and crash or as mentioned if there are too many it will also crash.

Try deleting some of the maps in your addon folder, because you may have too many
I can't remember what the limit is

Your addme script is messed up. The game won't boot all the way if a single addme.script (built from addme.lua) has some sort of error.

Well I know I definitely dont have 50 maps, I have maybe 10 maps. As for AddMe, that might be it. I removed the eras on those 2 maps which is edited in the AddMe so I guess thats it...

Yeah, check for munge errors. If you have even a single error related to the addme you'll get that problem.
