ooook i dont know how to fix this

Post by Laser_shot »

well it started when i wanted to start modding again :
(note: i tried to re-dwld the modtools and os on)
when i create the map everything is ok and i can play normally on the big grassy square.
but when i set the littlest change in the script,map or anything,i cant even launch bf2 anymore or the map crashes (depends on the changes)
the problem cant come from wrong changes because even the littlest change messes it up.

after :
1.created map in map
2.copyed sides folder 3 munged
-----------------here starts the mess
4. changed the script (very basic,no probs here)
5munged <----- problems here the games dont even launches and blablbla (see above)

the is in the munge window (no mungelog) after the final destructive munge :

Well I can tell you this much

Code: Select all

Munging DAR.req 
The system cannot find the path specified.

that part is unimportant, I get it everytime I munge, on every map I work on.

Only copy the sides (and when coping, ONLY copy the needed .odf/mshs/.reqs extra, not the whole side) if you want to edit them.

otherwise leave the readdatafile line.

If you are editing the sides, make sure to copy common and put that in the sides and also to set up the sides fodler with the build and clean.bats in the build folder

She just says that you shouldn't copy over the entire side. Only copy the files of the units that you want to modify. Copying over the common folder is described in the Jedi creation documentation :| ...
First thing you need to do is create a “sides” folder. Into that folder, copy the “Common” folder from within the mod-tool “assets/sides” directory. Note that this is NOT the same folder as “assets/common”, this is “assets/sides/common”! This folder is necessary because it contains all the things that are used by every side in the game – the default soldier class, default effects and lightsaber meshes, and other things.

ok thx and what about the script ? does it stays dc:side....
my computer has problems with reading the documentation
RC-1290

Post by RC-1290 »

WHAT? ok. Let's fix that first. What happens if you try to open the Documentation? Maybe you have a corrupt version of the mod Tools. Is MS Word working correctly? Is MS Word the standard program to open .doc files?

well i open the documentation but when i try to read one of the guides i got a 'graphic convertor problem' (lol ?) but back to the older problem i dont know why it dont works,because i already made a perfectly working map who was relaesed in my clan and many testmaps without any disfunction

Really Laser_shot, can you PLEASE give more details, it's really impossible to help if you just say that there is a problem of wich you don't know the cause, ALWAYS give crashlogs. Say EXACTLY what you changed and in the case of the documentation I want to know in WHAT way you get this error, WHEN EXACTLY you get this error and maybe even your system properties.

Does windows come up with an error message saying, there is a graphic converter problem so word can not open this. Or does WORD give such an error. does Word open at all or does it crash before it is loaded. etcetera. Please give more details becouse if you don't, we can't really help you very effectively.
