Run the modtools.exe and load your map in instant action. Then, in your Gamedata folder, look at the file bfront2, which is a log. It records any errors your map creates, including conflicts that cause the map to crash. Hopefully that will help you narrow down the problem.

What you do is copy bf2_modtools.exe from the BF2_Tools folder to your Battlefront II/Gamedata folder, then run it. It's a debug version of the game with no multiplayer. Then it will create a log called bfront2.log. In there you can find out what some of the errors are.

When i click on BF2_ModTools.exe it says please insert CD1. (SWBF2 cd1) It is in the drive. What is going on?

Edit: Does this have to do with me not having the CD version. I have the DVD version.

Well I got the map and tried it out using the modtools, it crashed. So I took out all the .msh's and .odf's that had to do with the crashing, I munged and it still crashes. Moncal' said that he hasn't touched the lua at all, any suggestions on what to do next?
