I am making a new tatooine map so i wanted to use some textures for the ground so i copied the .tga file and .tgaoption file of the tat2_main2 from the assets of the TAT maps, i also (scince i was worried it might be with the textures) i copied the entire PC file from the TAT map. I went to play the map and...... EPIC FAIL...... at the 7th load circly thingy it quit BF2 and i was dejected..... So there was no error's for the map and no animated objects in my map..... O.K. and for my sides i only had used two sides REP and IMP and ohh wait DES as well as COMMON. My previous file MYGEETO CENTER was a HUGE! download so i was trying to make this file smaller.... In the file i had EFFECTS which i copied, ODF which i edited, MSH which i also edited but with only the skins and what i needed for Plo koon :plokoon: and the clone assassin and UTAT and the MUNGED and REPshell and .req and REQ file. Same for imp (just with out the Skins and with the new diff .odf's and msh's and only the ones i used. After i cleaned and MUNGED again twice and it still did not work i wondered ???? i am not an idiot what did i do wrong?????? I checked the _build file but there was no errors under anything????????? Also i did NOT use plo koon :plokoon: in my map yet...... I have not yet changed the sky.... There is four command posts in the LUA and on the map...... I have done the pathing and planning so far..... on my map i did use the tat2_main2 for the ground texture...... No errors nada..... No script MUNGE errors at all..... i even deleated other maps out of my ADDON even though there was no mission.lvl_fatal error. I was on the loading Screen (i have not put in custom loading Screen yet) and it failed on the 7th load circle..........
Please help me and if you think you need my lua or any other things please don't hesitate to tell me and Thank You. P.S. im going to try to use a diffrent texture for the ground. The base Grit also i have the msh, odf files from the TAT assets.

Can we see your error log?

And I strongly doubt editing the repshell.req is necesary.

There was no error log.... i will clean and munge again to show you when i get home but otherwise the normal Yadda Yadda about 1200 vertices NO COLLISON GEOMETRY WILL BE SLOW crud but i will post as well as my lua and some other stuff i think may.... be necessary i will soon

Put the .exe file "BF2_modtools" and put it in the same directory as the Launch_BFII file is. Then run the modtools exe. Run your map and wait 'till it crashes. Then look at the same folder where you put the .exe, Gamedata, and open a file that says BFront2.log in notepad. What does it say?

EDIT: For future reference, The thing you gave us before (that had the collision geometry warnings in it) is called a "mungelog". An "error log" is the BFront2.log file. Every time you run BF2_modtools, the program automatically creates a new BFont2.log file. It shows all errors that occurs while running the game, and most of the you can ignore.

Wrong

You put it in the same folder that BattlefrontII.exe is in, the GameData folder.

Launch_BFII and BattleFrontII.exe are two different files? Wierd, what're they for? I only ever noticed one.


EDIT - No thread hijack intended.

Actually, I just pulled the name off of the top of my head. It probably came form Lego Star Wars' exe being named "Launch Lego Star Wars."

The LaunchBFII.exe is for the launch program, hence the name of the file. When you run this, it brings up the launch menu, and when you click "Play," it runs the BattlefrontII.exe.

This is what it said Could you mabey uh DISCIPHER it?
I am also going to add my .lua just in case for clone then galactic

I'm pretty sure you could have "disiphered" that yourself. Take a peek at the last error message.

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\EntityGeometry.cpp(619)
Entity "rep_hover_fightertank" missing geometry "rep_hover_fightertank"

sev. 3's are usually source of problem. look in that odf, see if you changed the msh name, that causes a crash if its changed incorrectly

Thanks i got it and from now on i will know how to use Battlefront2_Modtools.exe THANKS!
