So, I wanted to make a new map to test on, then go to the modtools and say "Create World".

It makes it all the way to "Rewriting LDX file" and then "Microsoft C++ Runtime Library" pops up.

"Runtime Error!
Program: C:\BF2_ModTools\data\_BUILD\Modtools VisualMunge.exe
abnormal program termination"

I even fully uninstalled and reinstalled the modtools and this is still happening. Any ideas on what's up?

Secondly, I have a few test maps/attempts at maps that are recently made and work before I try to add a new unit/replace a current one. After adding unit(a red Acklay replacing Darth Maul as the default hero for the CIS) and the map seems to dissapear. I can get to the spawn screen and then all the CPs are gone and all I see is the units and a black void. I beleive I edited everything correctly, but I'll post it anyways.

BOBc_con What did I do wrong?

So what did you want to do? Did you want the acklay to be the CIS hero? Solution: Or did you want the acklay to be an extra CIS unit? Solution:

The thing is, the Acklay DOES in fact show up as the CIS' hero as is. But the map is a dark CP-less abyss of nothing.

You didn't post your debug log. If you don't know what that is, the sticky FAQ topic tells you how to get one.

Go fix what AQT told you to fix first of all. Right now, you're trying to add the acklay to an undefined team (geo) as well as making him the CIS hero. If you still have problems after that, then post your log.

w00t, it worked. I see why I missed that, thanks.

Any idea about the Modtool C++ error? It's really hindering my progress.

One of my other maps should be working, all I have are severity level 2's...


It CTDs every time still. I thought it was because of the ewoks I had in the map, so I deleted their side data and edited the proper files and it still crashes.

Edit: It seems this is causing the crash on my map during Hunt.


What do I need to fix here?

Copy the common side into your sides folder?

Ah, thank you good sir. I can now see the spoawn screen, but I must have done something incorrect when imputing my CPs into the scripting, it won't let me spawn.

Are there any CP icons on the map? Post your lua.

You usually don't need to reference cps in your scripts unless they're part of the objective. So, you don't need to add them to a hunt lua.
