Hello again. I'm still kind of a noob when it comes to creating maps. I just finished the basic structure of my first map, but it crashed. I wasn't too surprised though. I managed to get rid of all of my severity 3 errors, but it still crashes. I deleted parts that didn't need to be included, but the rest, I don't fully understand. Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm this doesn't look right:

Message Severity: 2
C:\Battlefront2\main\RedEngineFL\Graphics\PC\pcRedStencilShadow.cpp(892)
No shadow data!

No idea what you did, but apparently there is no shadow data!!

how would i fix that?

That error is harmless.

Oh. It just stood out at me. Could you post your whole error log? Maybe you overlooked something.

um yeah but i thought most of i wasn't important, but ill post the whole error log

Have you added any doors? What was the last thing you changed before your map crashed?

I'm not sure what you mean by doors, as there aren't and interactive doors on mos eisley(the map I copied odf/msh from) But I did notice the weird replace messages for all of the buildings...

What changes did you apply to your map except for placing props?
(Any munge errors?)

I added a command post and created mountains and such... I didn't do anything that should noticed. At least I don't think so

Mh, I have not really an idea...
You could try to replace your sky file with a freshly munged one and see if that fixes it (because of your old sky file warning).
You might want to post your lua here as well even though I don't think that that's the bugger.

Lol i'm a very much noob at the moment. I have not touched lua or the sky textures...

If you want the cp to be an AI goal you need to add it to your lua.

Can't think of anything else regarding your problem, though.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHATS WRONG? I'm beginning to wonder if I wasted my time here...

Don't be angry. Modding takes time. Did you add your cps to your lua?

Lol I started modding like 3 days ago, haven't got that far yet

Did you ever run your map successfully?

BobTheHunted wrote:I added a command post

Command posts that aren't added to the lua won't crash the game, but you should still fix it by adding the lines for it just to be 100% sure. I'm sure its covered somewhere in the docs... Though when I started modding used the Battlefront modding wiki before I found gametoast which was based off the docs...

A few questions:
1. How long does a munge take: Less than half a second or over 30 seconds? The first answer is bad, the second one is normal.
2. Did you try just making a new map and directly after doing the first munge in data_*** trying to play the new, untouched map?

Well, actually, I have been playing on a new map that I made just to test it. It gives me something to do when I'm waiting for replies and such...

As for the first question. At first it did take half a second and it did not create mission.lvl and god knows what else. I got the munge fix for Vista and that seemed to fix it, so it's not a munging error.
