Map is progressing well. Textures and terrain are finished. Soon you will be able to fly through the canyon area on a BARC Speeder where Stass Allie was shot down.

The design is taking a very long time, but I'm pleased with the way it looks currently.

Once a playable and bug-free version is released, I will work on creating Stass Allie.

Anything special you'd like to see in Saleucami?

Clone Wars:

Republic

AT-TE
IFT-X
BARC Speeder
Delta-aethersprite Jedi Starfighter (if I code the model and get it to work)
Eta-2 Arctis Jedi Starfighter (Republic Starfighter)
ARC-170
LAAT/i

Hero - Once the map is finished, Anakin. A while later, hopefully Stass Allie.

CIS

Spider Walker
AAT
STAP
Hailfire Droid
MTT (slim chance since I couldn't find the hidden models for it)
Droid Tri-fighter
Vulture Droid
Droid Gunship
Armored Tank Droid (perhaps)

Hero - Either Count Dooku or General Grievous. I'm thinking Grievous but you tell me

Galactic Civil War:

AT-AT
IFT-T
AT-ST
Speederbike
TIE Interceptor
TIE Fighter
Theta-class Imperial Shuttle

Hero - Darth Vader

Rebel Alliance

Combat Speeder
Alliance AAC-1 Tank
Speederbike
X-Wing
A-Wing
Snowspeeder (for those that want the more fun ways of taking down AT-ATs )
K-Wing (we'll see about that)

Hero - Luke Skywalker

Any suggestions/comments?

HEy captain mazda! Good to have ou here (if you are the one from lucas arts forums) you seemed to be interested in modding, but i didnt wanna invite you because last time i did invite someone i screwed up... badly... anyways.. this sounds great. Can't wait to play it

Hey Jabba! Yes, it is me, how you doing?

I could post screenshots from the editor, but here's the problem. When I attempt to run the map, as soon as it finishes loading, it just quits to desktop. Everytime. I've checked and there seems to be nothing wrong in my map. I cleaned and munged it so I have no idea what the heck is wrong with it. Until this problem is fixed, I won't be able to work more on it. The terrain and objects were already finished.

This is a huge problem.

Can anyone please help me? Any help would be appreciated. If you can save my map which I've worked countless hours upon, I will give you the credit you deserve. Please, I beg of you expert modders to look upon me with mercy and provide me with assistance!

Mr. Mazda ...

What have you added/changed to the map from when it worked till your last ,fatal, munge?

added a vehicle? added water? etc

if you can remember im sure we can find the secrets

I have no idea. The first time I did a clean+munge to run it in the game was when I noticed it crashes right after the map loading screen finishes up. I don't know why it is doing this. A friend of mine told me it could well have been a problem with my command posts, so I took out my command posts and moved them into a more open area. I also re-did the spawn paths.

I've placed non-CP Techno Union Ships, wrecked LAATs and AT-TEs, along with many canyons, rock formations, and plants. I've also put in the Great Spire along with 2 ground hangars. Most objects are from the Geonosis map. Plus I've added wrecked Techno Union Ships along with the crashed cruiser on the Mos Eisley map.

I've run out of ideas, I just hope one of you geniuses can save my work:)

Vehicles are a negative. I've had no luck in placing them and haven't tried them in this map yet. Water I also do not yet know how to place.

mine does this for any map so please inform me when you figure it out

Can the fact that I haven't worked on the script of the map have anything to do with it? For example, I have 2 CPs per team and a neutral one for a total of 5 on the map. The script hasn't been touched yet.

So you made you map , added all the vehicles etc etc and then did your only munge?

thats just askin for trouble ... especially if your new to swbf tools.



post your mission.LUA

No, I said I haven't put in any vehicles yet. The only things on that map are:

-5 command posts
-5 control regions
-5 capture regions
-5 sets of spawn paths
-some plants from Felucia
-lots and lots of rock formation objects from Geonosis
-a Geonosis texture on the ground
-5 Techno Union Ships (non-CP versions)
-lots of terrain height adjustments
-The Great Spire from BFI Geonosis (found it in the BFII assets)
-2 hangars from Geonosis
-some wrecked AT-TEs and LAATs
-some downed Techno Union Ships, one with a command post inside (neutral)

end

these might be the problem ..

-The Great Spire from BFI Geonosis (found it in the BFII assets)
-2 hangars from Geonosis
-some wrecked AT-TEs and LAATs
-some downed Techno Union Ships, one with a command post inside (neutral)


im not sure but these might use effects like Smoke for the vehicles and lights for the hangars...again im not sure tho

try taking them out , munging then test.
if it is the problem then copy over the geo.fx from the geo world1 and rename it SAL.FX AND copy over the geo Effects folder .


If it isnt the problem I would gues that its a problem with how your CP's / regions are set up. If your cp's are called CP1 (notice the caps) then you spawn paths have to be the same (CP1) ..same with regions.

Maybe take a screenshot showing how youv setup your cp's ,regions and paths




Are you using the BF2_modtools. exe to see what the problem is? if you havent already .. put it in your games Gamedata folder and run it.

Hmm... i had this happen with some 6 mods. I would place an object it wouldn't like, and it would mess up my map file so i couldn't run the munged level. Oddly enough, i could copy my edited map into a new map folder and it would run, though nothing shows up. Hopefully your using the CD version so you can use the debugger.

No, I have a DVD version.

Then lets hope for a dvd fix for the debugger soon, without it its impossible to fix these levels.

Is it possible to use it with the DVD version? Now what exactly does the BF2_ModTools.exe do?

Nevermind, it gives an "insert CD" error.

I'm in the editor right now, is it alright if my base layer has no objects or anything? Everything has been built under "conquest".

Also, are there any problems with the script I posted earlier?

Sorry for the triple-post, but I've made changes to my map. Now before I clean and munge, are there any special options that I need to select? Should sides be on "NOTHING" and should only "common" be checked off in the boxes?

Ok, first and last time I quadruple-post, my apologies...

I ran the map and still no change. So now I've basically removed everything from the map except the plants and the spires. The Great Spire and the Spire Hangar are still there, but everything else is gone, including control regions for command posts. Spawn paths I've also removed.

I saved, cleaned, and munged, but this time for munge I used "EVERYTHING" for sides.

This is however the mungelog:

Could this problem be caused by the hangar in the Great Spire???

Plus, I don't know why it has given a warning for a turret. I don't have any objects or turrets in my map.


*later*

Oh this is perfect. I've removed almost everything from my map, including the Geonosis Hangar. It still crashes, and munge gives me the same error:

Forget it, I have no time for this crap. I only wasted a couple of weeks making this map, nothing serious I guess.

The munge errors you have don't have anything serious. So it's not there.

Where else can it be then? There's nothing left in the map, I deleted everything.

If you can make the level dark and have some fog, it would make it more like the movie. Good luck with the map, i can't wait to download it
