RedMemory...again

Darth_Spiderpig · Post by **Darth_Spiderpig** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 5:08 am

Well, I made a map...then it crashed before the loadscreen. I tried to cut out all the stuff I didn't use...didn't help.
So Is tarted a new map and copied stuff over, and I left the vehicles as they were, so 4 per faction.
It worked, I was happy.
Then I added my old sides, and viola, it crasehed again before the loadscreen.
The sides are reduced fine, so no unneeded stuff in there...

Anyone got an idea?

Yeah, your old sides are the problem because before you added them back in, your map was working fine...

Anything else you would like to share about these old sides of yours other than

Here we go:

Okay, I got two sides for rep, one for the pilot, one for the gunner...wait, why did I do that?
Ah yes, does OverrideTexture work for the ep2 Pilot?
I've got the stock tur side for mah turrets.

For the cis side I got 1 unit and 2 vehicles, rep has all in all 2 units and 2 vehicles.
Weapons are pistol + thermaldet for rep and cis, and the fighters have slightly edited stock weaps.

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]function SetupUnits()

	ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",

        "rep_fly_anakinstarfighter_sc",       

        "rep_fly_delta7b_ani",

        "rep_inf_ep2_pilot",

        "At-te_turret")

    ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\cis.lvl",

        "cis_inf_pilot",

        "cis_fly_droidfighter_sc",  

        "cis_fly_greviousfighter")

    ReadDataFile("SIDE\\tur.lvl",

        "tur_bldg_spa_all_cannon")

	ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\gunner.lvl",

        "rep_inf_gunner")

end[/code]

Ya need more?

You've hit limits. A heap error is the amount of memory the game is allowed to use.

I know, but I can't see what could cause this.
The sides are minimal.

are you talking about the Bothewui space map? Weren't you using alot of high rez, high polygon ships for that? Try cutting out a few of the cruisers and see what happens, i'm willing to bet that they are whats eating your memory, the addition of the miniscule sides must have just pushed them over the edge.

Post by **Teancum** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 3:40 pm

It could be anything. If you're using all hi-res textures and tons of em that'll eat up the texture memory really quickly. If you're using tons of custom sounds + shipped ones that'll eat up the sound memory. If you have lots of objects, (particularly high poly objects) you'll hit the limit there.

It's generally a good idea to take whatever idea you have when building a map and scale that down by about 2/3 to 1/2. I learned that the hard way a long time ago. Since you're already a long ways along, you can try opening up all the textures in you /msh folder and shrinking them in your favorite photo editing software. If it's 1024x1024, change it to 512x512, if it's 512x512, go 256x256, etc. In my experience it's usually the texture memory that's the limit. Scaling them down means they use less space.

Okay, I will try both solution possibilities, thanks guys.
