After trying to run my map in the Programmer Build (BF2_modtools.exe) my map crashes and I get a weird error in my BFront2.txt.

Error for con CW

does anyone have any clue what this means?

I got an error like that once. I think it means you are running out of memory. When I removed a few objects, my game went on running fine.

that sucks..., i have hardly any objects in my map, its mainly terrain, tho i am using modded sides...u sure there's no way to fix this without takin stuff out...

my addon folder size is 691MB (about the same as some of my other maps which work perfectly) it has a 115MB LVL and 573MB SIDE

Also what's weird is that it worked the way it was, i just modded sides some more and then i get this message, i didn't put anything in zeroedit.

hmmmm wierd.

Do I have to reset the SetMemoryPoolSize Values in my lua's?

Ok I lowered those and now it works

Gah nvm. It crashes during play, with the same memory errors. in GCW it crashes before the map starts like before....

573MB SIDE

?!?!?

WOW, that would be your problem. How much memory does your computer have? The reason this is happening is because you don't have enough memory to run the game, so it shuts down. Resize your side's man and try it again.

I have another map with a 760MB Side and it works fine...

Well I don't know then. Still, you should lower the size and try it.

Still Doesn't Work...this is really starting to piss me off...

OK, in order to free up memory, turn your computer off for like four hours. Then restart it and see if it works.

What are you talking about?!?!? The amount of time it's off has no impact on memory.

Just reduce the size of each individual side by splitting your large side into two smaller sides, and doing the necessary .lua calls from each.

I read to do that in a computer magazine.

Dann on your data_***, open Sides, and for each one, open up the req file. In there contains hex codes. Delete any unnecessary codes. That will decrease your map size a lot.

Although that reduced my SIDE size emmensely down to 250Megs i still get the same errors

So the size of my SIDE doesn't seem to be the problem as it worked fine at 500 and higher

I need to get this fixed, this is an important map im working on (Realm of Chaos)

Does anyone know how to get rid of this
".\Memory\RedMemory.cpp(538)
Allocating 52368 bytes failed - no free blocks left in Heap 5 (Runtime)" error so it doesn't crash?

Try munging the sides in a different map, and see if you get the same error.

Those types of errors mean that you hit the memory limit for the game. If you have lots of objects, you need to bring the amount down, take a look at your memory pools and kill/lower the pools to what you only need, etc etc.
