I have a peculiar CTD - The debugger is to big to post, unfortuanatley, however, I have narrowed it down to what I think is the problem... These:

Message Severity: 3
C:\Battlefront2\main\Battlefront2\Source\SoldierAnimatorClass.cpp(1412)
Out of space for soldier animation banks (max 18)

And this:

HUD unable to find HUD element type 0x16ce484a


not sure what they mean.... Any Help?

"Out of space for soldier animation banks (max 18)" means that you loaded more than 18 animationbanks and went over the limit (who would have guessed? ). therefore the map crashes.

Oh! Right! Thanks.

EDIT: I just checked, and I have only munged 8 Animation sets....

Don't forget the shipped sets. Post the LUA.

well, the stock animbanks plus human_sabre are 6 animsets already, you just gotte get rid of somce custom animbanks.

The only animations I am useing are:

Dooku
mace
vader
obiwan
maul
aalya
Twilek


Thats no over 18, even plus the 6 stocks......

What folks also need to understand is that one animation set is not the same as one bank. Some animation sets are bigger and take up multiple banks. Regardless you'll have to remove some, there's no getting around that.

im pretty sure the droidekas, magnagaurds, bds, sbds and jangos animset count too.

@teancum: actually, as far as i know its synonymous. i use "animationset" is an alternative name for the "animationbank" of a soldier to avoid confusion with the animationbanks of weapons like pistol, tool, launcher etc.
the too many animbanks error is only about the number of animsets loaded and each set is on "bank". if too many actual anims are loaded you get a "couldnt find animation" error.

Are you certain that is the problem? It was working fine earlier, and I have not added any new animations since - only changed some player models around....

yes, im 100% sure. this is one of the very easy to interpret errors and from changing models you dont get these. try removing one or two units with own animsets and see if you still get the error then.

But I am not useing any of my own just Stock "With the exception of a twelik one from the BFX Assets"

Apart from that they are all stock....

it doesnt matter if they are stock or custom. battlefront simply counts all animationsets.

The easy way is simply to comment out some units in your lua's ReadDataFile sections. If it works, then it's confirmed. Going back and forth won't help until you try it.

Ok. For some reason its only letting me have four Jedi Units....

EDIT
Just a thought - Why would this take place here, when On the Hero assault maps, There are loads of different animation sets used - more than 4...

Double posting is against the RULES; please EDIT your post instead -Staff

Again, if you have animation-heavy custom units they take up more memory (not sure whether you do). Someone like Maul or Grevious is much more resource intensive than say, Anakin or Obi-Wan, since they use more unique animations. Also, are you using props or vehicles that have custom animations?

Again - there's a distinction between total memory and animation banks, but in the end both will affect crashing.

i am not useing any animated props. Its just a basic side mod, on an epty map.

The side is a Jedi Side, 7 Different types, with 7 different animations, representing the seperate lightsaber forms.

The only addition is a "twi'lek" Animation set, that is allya with animations to allow a single saber, since on of the jedi will be a twi'lek

This worked perfectaly fine untill a couple of days ago when I changed the player models for a few of the other players.

All of a sudden, it is not telling me I have gone over the allowed animation banks, and refuses to work with more than 4 jedi... I dont know why this is...


Luke - ShiiCho
Dooku - Makashi
Obiwan - Soreusa
Maul - Ataru
Vader - Djem So
Mace - Niman
Aalya - Juyo

it doesnt matter(as long as the animset once worked) what the addition is. batlefront counts all animations/animationsets, no matter whether they are custom.(like i previously said)

thats just not possible(like i previously said), or do you have a modelrror for that in your bfront2log?

do you get "cant find animaion" errors? if so you have too many animations despite having not too many animsets (like teancum previously said)

thats just not possible(like i previously said), or do you have a modelrror for that in your bfront2log?

Possible or not, Thats what happened... I cant explain it.

Nr is it telling me that I have to many animations...

EDIT:

I may have found the problem. It is now telling me it reading lots of animations more then once. Here is an Example:

could you please post the bfront2log?
