And can I leave the odf back to "IMP\impboba;imp_1st_bobafett"?

If you want Boba Fett's FPM.

Do I HAVE to make a custom FPM thing in order for my side to work?

Read the tutorials. Stop asking questions without reading the tutorials. Stop.

What do you mean??? I'm following EVERYTHING! My ODF, correct. My unit REQ, correct. My side REQ, correct. My MSH, ODF, munged, effects, and REQ folders, all placed correctly! Yet my map is crashing! I can't read the tutorials because there's nothing I see that goes over THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM! I even set the FPM back to Boba Fett's FPM but STILL NOTHING, so it can't be the FPM!

HERE is my error log, apparently it has something to do with my animset (which I don't think you have to put in because when I had my side as the normal Boba Fett this didnt happen)

Check your mungelog, and see if there's an error there.

All that's in the mungelog is this:

Recheck your weapon setup in the unit odfs. Since you're using Boba, make sure you're not mixing numbered weapon lines with the plain version in his odf. That tends to cause problems, and I don't believe it's really documeted anywhere.

I know it seems totally unrelated, but fpm issues shouldn't cause a silent crash. Really, they shouldn't cause a crash at all, since I've seen a map work fine with an entire custom fpm lvl file missing before.

My weapon setup hasn't been changed, and everything's there...how would that cause a crash?

Wait, I think I've completely misread this thread. Do you still have that original error regarding not opening the lvl file? If you do, clean and remunge. If that doesn't work, manually clean and remunge. Then, let's see what we have as far as new errors, but that should clear it. Just remember to copy/paste the newly munged lvl each time, since it's not automatically done.

No, no I dont. I thought my side was crashing due to the .lvl error, but that wasnt the case. The fpm lvl is completely fine, but my side is crashing.

well from the error log at the top, you need to raise the soldieranimation bank.....add this to your lua:
SetMemoryPoolSize("SoldierAnimation", 1700).......if this isn't an issue my apologies, i haven't looked at the first page yet lazy of me i know.

My whole thought on that was that the game gets really picky about being able to open lvl files, thus might cause a crash based on that. Now might be a good time to manually clean and remunge the map, anyway. Then see if you get any new errors. Whatever it is, this would be the quickest way to clear it up, before resorting to testing each unit one by one, or retracing everything you did since your last stable munge.

Except he only has one unit.

I'm always cleaning it;it's still not working.

Well, I've finally gotten around to munging your side into a default world. It works fine (nice skin, btw). The only issue I noticed was the lack of a custom first-person, but that's because I didn't copy over the munged .lvl. Didn't cause a crash, though.

So whatever is causing the crash, it isn't the side.

Cool, thanks! I think I found the problem though...I tried making my side unique by renaming 'bobafett' to 'padawanf' and etc, i even hexedited the mshes to reference the textures, and that makes it crash. I guess I'll have to just have it as imp_inf_bobafett, its not like I'm using the stock bobafett in the same map anyway...

I believe you misunderstood my post. I took the stock side you sent me, didn't make any changes at all, kept the names and the hexes and all that, munged it into a clean world, and it worked. So nothing in the side's folder is causing the issue.

Odd....after reading your post, I took the side folder, put it in a clean map, munged, and then it crashed.

removing the hex edited model and putting in your lua soldieranimation 400 anyway crash ?

Try making a new map and munging it on that map. If that works, do a full sides clean on the other map, replace the common folder with a new one, and try again.

A manual clean has also been recommended to him at least four times in this thread, I'm sure. It's not magic.

The problem might be with your VM itself or the way you set it up.

I think I've said about four times I HAVE been doing manual cleans. ALL THE TIME.

And, I dont think theres anything wrong with my VM. (How could there be?) I made a seperate side using just a reskinned Boba Fett, no hexediting textures or renaming or anything, and it worked. Then I start renaming the side data to my liking, reference all the textures in the models, then it crashes.
