A simple question, and quite a large problem

Does anyone know the precise object count limit Zeroengine can handle?

I wouldn't be asking this normally, but due to the fact that I can't find out using a process of trial and error because Battlefront 2 is quite screwy, I had to.

Which leads me to a problem I probably should post in SWBF2 General, but I don't like the idea of having two active topics at once, so...yeah.

Battlefront 2 has been FATAL crashing on all of my maps that have a change to the world itself
meaning:

FATAL crash (could not load ModID.lvl or something along those lines :P )
- Added objects
- Edited terrain
- change in sky texture
- added water (have added water before with no problems)
- etc.

No FATAL crash
- Side changes
- Lua editing
- other non-zeroeditor work

In short, all work done in zeroeditor causes a FATAL crash
I have had no problems with any of my maps up until about a month ago or so

and yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the mod tools and battlefront 2

When I get home, I'll post the BFront2.log, which I remember had only one severity 3 error, about not being able to load ModID.lvl

FATAL crashes will always be accompanied by an error in the mungelog. It'll barf about a lua error, a bad model, your terrain, something. Basically when you get a FATAL something couldn't be built because of an error, and that error is always in the mungelog

Also, I think it's worth noting that I sent the same exact, compiled map to FOOLIS who tested it and came up with no crash of any kind.

Does anyone know the precise object count limit Zeroengine can handle?
unless you have anywhere near 1,000 objects you don't need to worry about that. :D

As for the error, does this happen to all of your maps or just one?

Actually I have somewhere near 2,000 I think........XD, but I'm going to try and tone down on that :P


I'll test that last question when I have time

I don't like to double post, but some more clarifications, yes this happens on all of my (ie munged with my modtools) maps with world changes, and a few other maps by other people.

Here's the BF2_Modtools.exe debug report (excluding the usual severity 2's):

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\LoadUtil.cpp(1019)
Unable to find level chunk  in MISSION.lvl


Message Severity: 3
.\Source\LuaHelper.cpp(112)
OpenScript(TSWc_con): script (6bc891a5) not found

Message Severity: 5
.\Source\GameState.cpp(1283)
Could not open MISSION\TSWc_con.lvl
Remember, NO changes out of the ordinary, just a tiny little edit with anything to do with the world and that happens.
if I can't get this problem solved, I'll have to rely on other people to test the map, which is extremely inefficient, and will delay the release of it by astronomical proportions.

mission.lvl isn't building because there's some sort of error in TSWc_con.lua. Probably some sort of syntax error or something else easy to fix, but you'll have that error until you fix it. Post they lua and we'll help you look for it.

That's just the thing, I haven't even touched the LUA's yet.
Of course if there's something wrong with the default one that my modtools gave me......
But this hasn't been happening until 2 months ago :?

Anyway, on to TSWc_con.lua

I couldn't find anything myself

Forgot to mention, but when I zip the map up and send it to others, it works perfectly fine for them :faint:
Which makes me think it's a problem with my swbf2.
But this problem didn't exist 2 months ago. >.<

I had the exact same problem about a month ago, and just found the fix. You have too many maps in your addon folder. Delete some or use the Map Manager (I recommend going with the deleting).

Thanks a bundle Zerted :D , no more fatals.
Turns out the addon folder limit is about 50, not 56.
