Map won't work

Thunderstorm025 · Post by **Thunderstorm025** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 7:43 pm

Hey guys I just wanted to know if you could find a solution for a problem i've been trying to sort out for months!

You see i have finished making my first map for SWBFII but whenever i try to start it up it crashes right after loading!

This is the message severnity 3 that came up in the log file

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 3
C:\Battlefront2\main\Battlefront2\Source\LuaHelper.cpp(312)
CallProc failed: (none):0: attempt to perform arithmetic on global `cp1' (a table value)
stack traceback:
	(none): in function `ScriptPostLoad'

I have no idea what this means so could you please help!

By the way there are two other nooby questions i wan't to ask:
1) Is it normal for water not to show up in zeroeditor?
2) Is there a way to undo the "Burn shadows into terrain" option?

What were some of the changes you made between you having a working map and your map starting to crash? Try going back and undoing these changes one at a time.

As for your other questions:
1) If it's not showing up in ZE, it likely won't work ingame. Read the tutorial on water in the FAQ and follow those steps.
2) I'm not familiar with that tool.

about the water it only shows up black on solid view if thats what you mean. at least it does on mine. if its below the suface of the map you can't see it at all.

water hardly ever shows an error in the debug log nor does any other .fx for that matter really (or at least that's what I've seen) from the error you posted it looks like a cp error not a water error also you can make water appear any color in ZE actually it really depends on the surrounding terrain color my preference is orange or yellow water in ZE just cause you hardly work with yellow or orange terrain

It has been crashing ever since the first try so i don't know which change caused it.

But i'll have a look at the water though, but like you guys i doubt it is the problem.

You should remove your water and see if you still have an error. Water is a big problem for a lot of new modders - if it's done incorrectly, it can cause crashes easily. Do that, see what your logfile says. If it's not the water, it tentatively looks like you set your CPs up correctly - but until you remove the water we won't have as good a set of answers to work with.

You can view your water in ZE by setting the alpha level of the water to anything above zero (0-255; I usually prefer about 100-150).

And there is no "un-burn" shadows option in ZE; you might be able to delete it manually editing the files in your world1 folder, but I don't remember how off the top of my head. You can always re-burn your terrain to update it for new objects (or old ones that were removed).

Well i found out that i had added the water wrong and now i've added it correctly but i still get the same error as before

Please post your map's .lua.

Perhaps you have an invalid value set in your CP1 properties in ZeroEditor. Your lua looks fine to me...

hey i just thought of something, if i setup a vehicle spawn with a vehicle that isn't listed here:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",

                             "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",

                             "cis_inf_engineer",

                             "cis_inf_sniper",

                             "cis_inf_officer",

                             "cis_inf_droideka",

                             "cis_hero_darthmaul",

                             "cis_hover_aat")

would that cause a problem?

Post by **AQT** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 7:36 pm

No, it wouldn't cause a serious problem, the vehicle would just not spawn that's all.

jedimoose32 · Post by **jedimoose32** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 9:09 pm

Add the vehicle anyway.

Thunderstorm025 · Post by **Thunderstorm025** » Tue Apr 21, 2009 2:05 pm

hey that actually helped me find the problem!

I added the missing vehicles and then went onto zeroeditor to check if i had set up the vehicle spawns correctly, and i hadn't! Both the republic and seperatist vehicles were in the "All" (Alliance) sections, which i thought meant "evernything" until i realised there was no "reb" (rebels).....

So now i can actually start the map in-game but it still crashes just after i spawn, get out of a vehicle, capture a command post or after 30 seconds of playing. I checked the log file but there wasn't a message severnity 3 (it might have something to do with the fact that the map is in full colour).
And i ran into a couple of visual problems...

Here is a pic in zeroeditor:

And a pic ingame:

And the Trees are really wierd:

Any help will be appreciated.......

You didn't add water correctly, and that's why your map is crashing. You also didn't add all the files you need for your trees, but that is a minor non-crashing issue.

Thunderstorm025 · Post by **Thunderstorm025** » Fri May 01, 2009 12:27 pm

Ok i've fixed that now but it still crashes after 3 or 5 mins, and there is still no Message Severnity 3 in the log.
I don't know why but it seems to happen when i exit a vehicle/turret (not all the time though as it sometimes just crashes completely randomly).

But i fixed the tree issue and added a skydome but how could i stop the AI from walking into the water and drowning like idiots?
And the other problem is that droid starfighters, droid gunships, arc 170 fighters, and jedi starfighters won't spawn.

EDIT: Oh wait i found the M.S.3s in the middle of all the 2s! (i thought they were always at the bottom)

here they are

I think i have put the names of those vehicles in wrong but those vehicles aren't necessary anyway so ill just get rid of them and see what happens then.

Thunderstorm025 · Post by **Thunderstorm025** » Thu May 14, 2009 12:52 pm

Now i've removed them so everything should be fine but it still crashes and there are definatly no M.S.3s in the log

And my custom skydome shows up in zeroeditor but it displays the tatooine one instead (i was using that before the new one)

NOTE TO MODERATORS: I'm sorry i broke the rule about double posting but no-one would have noticed that i edited my last post with more info since it doesn't count as a new post
