Troubles with map...

Admiral Jake · Post by **Admiral Jake** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 11:24 pm

Okay, I'm making a map but coming across a lot of difficulties. The main problems are that I can't get AL to spawn and I can't successfully get custom soldiers to work.
Help!

We're going to need some more information.

Did you read the shipped documentation and did you look through the FAQ thread for answers before you posted?

If so, then we'll need your error log.

FAQ Thread wrote:Question - I have the CD version of SWBF2 and I get a binkw32.dll error when trying to launch the BF2_modtools.exe, what's wrong?
Answer - The BF2_modtools.exe is the debug executable, copy it from the main BF2_modtools folder and paste it in the same folder as your battlefront2.exe, usually:
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData
then you can launch BF2_modtools.exe and play your map to get a BFront2.log located in that same folder.
If you have the DVD version check THIS LINK for a DVD version of BF2_modtools.exe

Note to Vista users:
If you can't find your BFront2.log it may be saved to this location:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData

Oh, I did everything right for the units that my brother told me. I load up the map and it doesn't work.

We need information, like, Does it crash? Does it appear on your unit selection screen? Does it freeze when you choose your unit?

No they don't. Nothing else happens. But what I WANT to know is how to do it correctly.

If you do it correctly, it\they should appear.

I already did that, yet they don't appear.

What I want is the BFX units. And I don't know what Bfront2 logs are. Oh, General Nate did you get your avvie from PokeBeach?

You couldn't have done it that fast. I just posted it! Try again. And, General_Nate was right. Post your Bfront2 log. Your Bfront2 log is the error log you get when you play the map on BF2_Modtools.

Did you read the link he posted? You are not reading the units correctly. I could tell you how, but it's better for you to learn your self.

EDIT, General_Mitch beat me to it.

The error log has no errors. I don't get that tutorial.

You're getting the side from the BFX assets right? If so you are not using the REP side you are using one that came with the BFX assets. I still think you should post your error log.

What a great idea RogueKnight! But posting the error log is still pretty much essential. EDIT: Oops, posted it too late.

Don't talk like that.

Post your BF2log, if you don't know how to get it, look in the "Everything You Need to Know" thread.

Post what it is that you don't understand about the tutorial here, and me and everyone else will do our best to help you.

All you need is a little patience, practice, and ideas to make great maps/mods.
