[Deviss]

hello to everybody, i am trying to learn a bit of mapping, beginning with convert way, i followed Teancum's tutorial and i got the next error :

If you want me to take a look at the files I still have SWBF2 installed. I would probably have to see for myself to help fix it though. Once it's fixed I can send the files back to you so you can add other layers besides conquest.

Try to remove all the bump.tga files. Maybe this can help. If your map keeps loading then there might be too many objects or you possibly reached the Graphics limit.

If this will be helpful for you - here is a my progress of porting this map - https://www.dropbox.com/s/n6ae6okz9wg0oyd/020.rar?dl=0 I tried it a few months ago. Map is loading fine, but some textures are disappearing or red.

i tried, and resizeing them but anyway it freeze :S

wow that was very useful, i tried your version and it start fine but... when i replace your .odf files with the mines, the map again freeze , the problem is on .odf files surely, now i must find how to

EDIT: i tried my convertion, with your .odf files and anyway it freeze :S any idea?

[xap4o]

Oh, I forgot to say, I deleted some .odf/.msh/.anims because I found that they are freezing the map. Don't remember which. Compare files in your 020 folder and mine.

i tried deleting animationtrigger line, but freeze anyway, maybe did you delete those msh and tga files?
i am using your map, with all my .tga files and with my world1 folder complete (.ter, .pth, .mrq .... files) and the map run fine but:

* strange ugly floor
* object appear and disappear
* republic side can't go out from his commandpost
* doors are invisible

I had this bugs too, so I breaked up porting. Sereja tried to port this maps to BF2, but faced with problems too. Check his posts in his profile, maybe you will find some important info.

yes i saw it thanks , Sereja tried but fail, thelegend too, i am beginner on mapping, maybe i will have the beginner's luck lol.

i will try resize .tga to low (everything to 512x512, no more 1024x1024)
really is the best bf1 map for me, and its the unique otoh gunga map too, so i will give try and try, if i found something i will report it here

[Locutus]

The problem with this map is also that the collision of the non-crashing objects is bugging out (I also tried to convert it once).

If you're interested in porting maps from Sereja I could recommend the Polar Express map. I got the map port completely working and added flag and conquest mode (see my Dropbox folder for source file download), just the sides are still buggy. (if you wanna give it a try - I lost my motivation for it)

You're missing oto_orb_door_real.odf and oto_arc_bridge_sm_vcol.odf.
oto_orb_door.anims should look like this:

Code: Select all

ucft
{
	ANIM
	{
		"open"
	}
}

remove "door" from it.

Your 020.ter file crashes my TerrainMunge.exe. I can't munge this project. These can't be the files that produced a working map for you. The red or disappearing textures are likely caused by something in the sky file. If you (or Deviss) can share the exact files that got you to the point of being able to play the map, then we can start from there and just tweak the sky parameters, fix collision etc.

[Deviss]

wow i really apreciate the help from everybody , it look like a team.
there are 2 ways:
* xap4o's proyect with my 020.ter file work ingame
* my project version but without the 2 odf named before

i did a mix of both proyects, if you want i can upload it on some hours

[AceMastermind]

Neither of those projects fully load for me. The loading freezes on either the last dot or next to last. I don't think we're working with the exact same files here. I'm not going to troubleshoot why the map won't load if 2 or 3 people already have a working data_020 project that compiles into a playable map. If you have the project in a working state and are capable of fully loading into the map, zip up your data_020 project and upload it so everyone is on the same page.

[Deviss]

you are right , here its my last stable version:

Wait, are the source files for Otoh Gunga available? I'd love to play that on the Xbox.

CP1 is sealed off by the terrain. I lowered all the terrain by -70 just to get it out of the way for now.

I removed all of the "vcol" objects that were placed in ZE to reduce clutter, vehicles are an afterthought at this point.

Sereja was scaling most of the msh files by 2-2.5 times with an option file, this results in the flickering side effect in SWBF2. The best course of action here is to import > scale > export, and add SWBF2 collision where convenient since the red objects look like collision geometry being rendered.

oto_orb_door_real.odf causes the loading screen to freeze, the files look fine though. I even recreated the door animation and exported to take its place. No idea whats going on there, this map doesn't like something about that object, but when you remove the ODF for it the map works fine. I'll probably try a stock animated door to see what happens next.
EDIT: Nope, doesn't work either, even after reducing the number from 47 down to 5.

i arrived to late, i found this on swbfgamers forum:

Some SWBF2 modders say, it's because of SWBF2 memory, is overloads by msh.option size parameters. Those game, wants to use models with real size only. So solvation of this problem is pretty easy (but takes a lot of free time and bored): you have to import each of my model in XSI, by the last version of ZETools, and resize them, according their -Size line, in each msh.option file. After you export them back, and delete -Size line from each msh.option, the bug should be gone, I guess.

i will import/export every .msh files with rescale

[Teancum]

If this is successfully converted to SWBF2 I'd love to convert it to Xbox as well. I'm gathering up maps for a possible future update to the SWBF2 Xbox mod.
