Testing my map

[Cargoslug]

My map is done..... at least i think. I just did some terrain and buildsings and stuff also added to flags with spawn points. I just dont know how to test my map now...please help me

"save all"... then simply run the map in your BF2 game. They made it quite easy for us in this respect. :)

Let us know if you're still having trouble and exactly what you're doing.

Hmmm, i followed the beta tutorial, but it CTD's when i click "Join Game". It all loads up (geometry etc). I even made a really simple one - just flat, textured surface with two spawn points connected to two flags, different teams etc, yet it still crashes.

Any ideas?

You activated the surronding terrain, but it has no texture and crashes. Go back into the editor and open it in terraineditor. In the bar to the right got to surrounding terrain and right click the 8 squares around the center one and make sure to remove patch if it has the option.

dont wanna start a new thread, but, I made a nuke. Just put a bunch of 9s where it says dammage or whatever for the mk83 bomb. How do I test it out in game?

I tried right clicking them and adding heightmaps to them all, but that didnt help (they were all un-checked before). I made a new one this time, with only some texture in the middle, two spawns etc, without even going near the edge, but still the problem, with and without creating the heightmaps. I could not find the remove patch option.

Any more ideas? Thanks for the help.

I know but nothing appeared on the map.
Fixed: The density for the undergrowth was set to 0.1 :laugh:

Now my map is ready to play. All final tests were performed on low and high settings.

Uploading right now.....
... when its done youll find it in an own thread named "Kundur".

ok backto the everytime i load up my map it crashes bit. same thing here. it loads the join game buttonand crashes. do i need to activate height maps or remove patch or waht imkinda lost as to why this isnt working. BTW i have it allset up correctly.

I was having this problem too. Seems that I needed to set my terrain level to medium in the video options as it doesn't like the low setting.
