I recently added a few objects, CPs, and regions to my map. However those objects did not appear in game; actually, no changes were apparent. I decided to make a manual clean and munge again. Now there isn't anything in the map, including CPs and regions, and I cannot spawn in or do anything past the unit selection screen.
Here's my error log:

I believe the reason is because I (stupidly) tried to save a second version of my world (SC1 to SC1a) and ZE saved a whole new set of stuff along with the SC1a wld file, which I thought backed up my map. I later discovered my mistake and, just before saving SC1a back to SC1, I deleted the SC1 stuff. That's when map changes ceased to be munged. All files in the world1 folder is all SC1 stuff (SC1a stuff saved via ZE to SC1). I hope this isn't too confusing.

Additional Info:
-I moved the SC1a stuff to a separate location, so they are still available.
-Sides are not affected.
What can I do to fix this problem?

Please post your munge (Not munge log, but the words it shows what it's munging.) to make sure it's munging at all.

Could you tell us what file size your SC1.lvl file is? It should be in your _LVL_PC folder, in a folder called SC1.

If your SC1.lvl file is only a few kilobytes big, its definitely a munging issue. If there is a .req file next to it, it means it didn't finish munging or that there was an issue halfway through, and this is the same for all the files in _LVL_PC.

I'm currently on my iPod touch and so I am working from memory.
Munge output: When munging it seems to be munging normally and no abnormal messages occur, when I get back on my computer tomorrow morning I'll check.
SC1.lvl: I was specifically looking for this when manual cleaning. It's not that it's only a few bytes big, it doesn't even EXIST. After manual cleaning, a new one was never created (which I suspect now probably caused a Severity 3 error). There aren't any files in the SC1 folder. And that's for sure.

Hmm....what folders did you empty when you did a manual clean? Maybe you aren't getting all of the files which you need to?

Just ideas. Anyway, if worst comes to worst, move your data_sc1 folder out of the modtools (desktop, wherever) and create a new world called SC1. Then copy all your world1 and odf/msh files over, your luas, and your sides. This should set everything up the same as your current map, except it will DEFINITELY remunge.

Ok, I'm back on my computer.
I just did another manual clean and munge, munging Common and EVERYTHING.
I made sure to delete everything I was supposed to.
Here's the output (edited because it's way too long): I placed the SC1a files back in the world1 folder to see if that would fix the problem, it didn't.
Oh, and it turns out I did not in fact delete the original SC1 files, I had moved them elsewhere as well. So just in case I needed to have those files, there they are.

Okay, you're munge looks good, it munged the essentials. I don't know what else could've happened

ok. I hate crashes, so MAYBE I can help (I'm a bit of a noob still)
I just need to know:

why is it saying 'file moved' throughout the munge? Is that normal?
HEY! I just noticed something. You're memory pool hates you. Kill off some effects or whatever affects memory pool. You have severe warnings left and right! WHA!

I hope this helps! I think this will be a great map!

So did you get any munge errors in the log?

I've never noticed that moving files thing myself, but i don't see how that could be ruining the munge...

If you're still having trouble, its probably best to just follow my other suggestion. Just create a new data_SC1 world, and copy over all your files. It'll work fine as long as you copy over all the necesary files(world1, luas, sides, and addme.lua)

Yes. That happens every time I munge.

Yes, it does indeed I don't know if that has anything to do with lightsabers doing no damage (going through stuff, in fact). If it does, it deserves further study.

Thanks for the compliments

Would a backup (from before the problem started) work? I fully backed up my data_SC1 folder.

"ParticleTransformer::ColorTrans"
"ParticleTransformer::SizeTransf"

You can totally ignore these memory pools, they don't have any effect whatsoever.

@Jendo7 I guess I'll leave them where they are.

Cheers! I used the backup I made earlier and replaced all modded files. Not only is the map back up and running, the changes I made when I discovered the problem have been carried over to the new map folder. So my map is better

However, I am still getting these:

That just means the lua can't find a loadscreen, which you obviously haven't made yet. That wouldn't effect the map in any way. Just take this out of your lua: ReadDataFile("dc:Load\\common.lvl") until you add one.

Ok thanks. I guess I'll be expecting this error for quite a while until I add my loadscreen back in.

EDIT: My map is crashing again, could it be related to the whole problem above? Here's the log. Edited because it's too long.

Well, from a quick skim-read you need to update the numbers of one of your combo memory pools, a lighting memory pool, which I've never noticed before in my lua, and it looks like your starships aren't loading, and that might be a little problem

I fixed some things, here's the updated log (edited because its too long):

I can't see anything obvious which would crash your map, but these look odd, although they might be fairly normal for space maps for all i know. Those are the only ones i can see which could possibly crash your map, except for the grievous anims ones at the ends, which i would ignore, unless you've got him, or a custom version of him in your map.

Yes, I'm using Grievous. Is there anything special I should do?
(My map worked fine with him before...)

EDIT: I found the Soldier animations, it's still telling me there's animations that don't exist anywhere in the assets/Animations folder.
The mysterious crash continues!
Colour-coded to identify different problems.

"uf_updateClassIndex(): Added class: rep_inf_ep3_marine" I don't think this ever happened before the crash, what does it mean? Is it normal?

.\Source\ConnectivityGraph.cpp(321)
no ConnectivityGraph for type HOVER Even though I have accurately calculated the number (max 9 for rep, max 6 for cis, and 1 hover vehicle = 16 for EntityHover. Guess what? That's the number I put in!) it still insists something is wrong. Solving this problem before resolved a crash, however it appears either I have calculated the wrong number or it's counting something I don't know about.

Please help quickly. Any and all posts are appreciated.

Connectivity graphs are another name for paths. In this case,you don't have paths for Hover(read jet trooper) units. Go to your existing paths and add "hover" in the filters.

Apart from the last one, none of the issues you mentioned matter in the slightest. They're just updates that came with the latest patches by Zerted(i think). In any case they don't matter.

Your last issue is just no planning paths have allowed for the hover class type, and you need to have several for them to move.
