Map doesn't show up in-game [Solved]

Post by destructo_bot »

I am having trouble with a map. I munge it, which seems to work OK, but then if I play it ingame, the terrain, all objects, spawnpoints ect have completely vanished. I did a manual clean, re-munged, and the same thing happened. SWBF2 worked fine, but no map. Just a few days ago I munged it and it worked fine, the only changes I made were adding a couple of clumps of ferns and a different ground texture.

The munge log, if it helps...

Try removing both of those, one at a time, to determine where the problem lies.

Still the same result. But what I did notive this time, which I kicked myself for not paying attention to before, is that when munging the TER file, TerrainMunge.exe crashes. Is there any known way to fix/get round this?

Was this texture you added one you created yourself? Maybe there is something wrong with it. Backup your map, then wipe out the textures. See if it starts working then.

No, I didn't create it. It wasn't exactly a texture either, I just spammed some green with the colour tool untill I found a good grass texture. I tried getting rid of it before, as Xav advised.

Did you put on a texture, or just color? I think you need to actually have a texture.

Try applying a texture and see if it helps.

Ok, no error this time, will test in-game just to be sure...

EDIT: It's fixed! Thanks guys, will remember the 'no-texture-makes-map-unhappy' thing next time! :D

I added your error to sticky error topic. Even though it is a munge error, I thought it worthy enough to add.
