I had run into issues with my map such that any change to the side folder caused a crash for some reason. I could never figure out what happened, but I munged a new test map, built my side there, munged it, and took the side lvls from the munged test map and put them into the original map after the munge, and it worked great - all units and weapons are functioning. However, whenever I add any custom vehicle, it crashes. These vehicles work fine in the test map I created for the purpose of building the sides, so I know with certainty that all of the vehicles' files are there and are set up correctly. However, when I place that same side lvl into the original map, it crashes. The lvl works fine in the test map, so I figure it must be something in the scripts

Here's my lua The exact side lvls work fine in the test map but crash when moved into the original map. If it's not something in the scripts, my only other thought is that vehicles are somehow intrinsically different from units and rely on something beyond the munged side.lvl, but really I have little idea

How many AT-ATs do you have? There are a maximum of 16 command posts, and it looks like you have 13. AT-ATs are considered mobile command posts by the game, so if you have four of them it won't work. Also be sure to check the BFront2.log file (run BF2_modtools.exe to generate one). Look for any Severity: 3 errors. I usually just open it in Notepad and then use the Find function to look for them.

3 AT ATs; I planned for the max of 16. Here's the whole error log:

The only severity 3's concern things like missing explosions, effects, and stuff. The only one's I don't know the cause of are the one's about missing aimers and hard points. But then again, this whole side lvl, including the vehicles, works fine in a test map, so anything about the side that would cause a crash here would cause one there as far as I know, but it doesn't cause one in the test map

And here's a error log from the same map and same side lvl, just with no custom vehicles loaded in the lua (stock vehicles still are), for comparisons sake

EDIT: I finally fixed it! Only took a whole week. Since it crashed whenever I loaded a vehicle in the lua (even though I knew with certainty that the vehicles were set up correctly, since the lvl worked in a test map), I created a new side and loaded the vehicles from that. I now have 2 sides which which load stock and custom units, and stock vehicles, and one side which loads only custom vehicls. Perhaps with the custom vehicles added the side lvls were just too big for the game to load, and now that they're split up into multiple lvls they aren't. Anyway, I'll consider this solved
