Otherwise known as SPTest. Also, have you tried Cleaning it?

Well, as I said before, its not just the maps that I make that wont work, its also any other map or map pack that I download.

what you do is open Bf2_Modtools.exe (the first thing you opened), run the map, let it crash, then in the same folder, there should be a file called Bfront2. post it's contents here.

The map is causing the game to not run. The game will NOT run if I have a map that did not come with the game. That is what I am saying THE GAME WILL NOT RUN IF I HAVE A MAP THAT DID NOT COME WITH THE GAME. MOD TOOLS WILL NOT RUN EITHER.

Oh. Ouch. Ummmmm... Did you install your maps correctly? That is, did you place the ABC (or whatever) folder in the gamedata/addon folder, and not just the .lvl files?

Have you ever downloaded any side mods? That is to say, LVL files that replace the original ones, and not maps that go into your addon folder?

Its in both folders, I think

And no i havent downloaded any side mods

Then run mod tools, it will still say any errors it encounters starting up. post the Bfront2.

(sorry, I forgot that it was the whole game that crashed, not just your map...

)

This doesnt work. When I start mod tools, the first and last thing that I see is the loading page. When its done loading mod tools immediately shuts down. The same exact thing happens with swbf2. If you don't know what i am talking about, then start mod tools for yourself. The first thing that pops up should be that loading screen. If you don't have mod tools, then start up swbf2. It's the same thing, same problem. And when i run mod tools, there are no error messages. And sorry to sound harsh before, it just didn't seem like anybody knew what I was talking about.

No problem, it's just that this isn't a common problem.

So, to clarify, are your addon maps installed like so:

\GameData
\addon
addme.script
\data

and so on.

Also, even if your game crashes at the loading screen, Modtools can still tell you what was wrong. Run it, and after it crashes, open up the file "BFront2.log" and post it here.

I couldn't find the addme file. That might be what's wrong. Heres BFront2.log:

Opened logfile BFront2.log 2006-08-28 1702
ingame stream movies\crawl.mvs

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\LuaScript.cpp(435)
Script file addme not found

I don't know what this file is. Why don't i have it? is it possible for me to add it? Or should I just remake the map?

Rekubot · Post by **Rekubot** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 5:35 pm

In your Data_ModID there should be a folder called 'addme'. Open it up and check to see if addme.lua is there.

Does it say this just with your map or with all maps? Because it is highly likely that you installed your maps wrong.

Customapshelp · Post by **Customapshelp** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 5:56 pm

I don't think I need to do that. Iv'e found the problem. I remade the map and saw what wasn't in the old map folder. Zero Editor. I needed to actually design my map. Could that be why I can't run Battlefront? Because of an unfinished map? If so, can someone teach me how to use Zero Editor. And don't tell me to read the documents, because i already have. I dont get it. I want to make a map of mos eisley. How can I do this?

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 6:11 pm

A Mos Eisley map would be hard, because of all of the objects. I suggest making a map that is just nice,rolling hills and plains, leaving the CPs in their orignal places. Something simple.

What part of the docs don't you get? specifically.

Customapshelp · Post by **Customapshelp** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 7:19 pm

Well, still, this doesn't solve my problem. I just remembered, even if I download a custom map off GT the same thing happens. Battlefront2 and Mod tools will not run. All I wanted to download at first was a couple maps. But since it made Battlefront not work, I got mod tools and figured i would make the maps. So what would be my problem. I'll download a map just to look into it and see if anythings wrong.
