Too many missions? [SOLVED]

[Darth Lampost]

Recently, I downloaded a map and put it into my addon folder. I started Battlefront and got Too many missions: 50 something >= 500. I clicked OK and went to Singleplayer Instant Action. It wasn't there. This happens for every map I download, with the 50 something changing. I figured that the too many had something to do with too many maps in my addon folder, but right now I only have BFX, BF1 (Conversion pack), BDT (Dark times mod) and AAA-v1.3patch. It's 509 >= 500 at the moment. For some reason these four folders plus Earth: Town were fine until I downloaded the map I mentioned earlier. Can anyone help me with this? Searched this forum and the internet but no joy.

What is your problem here? You already know you have too many missions in your folder, so delete some and play the map you downloaded?

[Darth Lampost]

The problem is that before I downloaded this map, I could have as many maps as I wanted in my addon folder and I'd never get this message, which I now get every time I play.

What map is it?

Because you're over the mission limit. Just remove a couple of the big mods and move them into a backup addon folder.

It isn't about how many maps, it's about how many missions.

Perhaps you need to download the 2.2 patch for the Convo Pack. That actually frees up alot of missions.

[Darth Lampost]

Ok, thanks Xavious. I'll do that. What are missions?

The map was Christophsis Battle by Forcemaster.

And I'll try that as well, Ping. Thanks.

Missions are basically the individual modes that a map has.

So Conquest, Hero Assault etc.? Ok. Downloaded Conversion pack 2.2, and I'm gonna make a backup addon folder. Thanks for the help guys.

Having a backup addon is good, but getting the 2.2 patch is essential. It removes over fifty (mostly redundant or unnecessary) missions from the Conversion Pack (in addition to the changes and bugfixes it makes), because when 2.0 was released, we were unsure about the impact of having more than 500 missions. Since we found out, we lightened it considerably.

Excellent, everything working. I downloaded the two Rebel Ops missions (The extractors were already on my desktop because I downloaded them before) and everything works perfectly.

I didn't know that about the 2.2 patch. I couldn't be bothered getting it because of DL times and I thought it wouldn't change that much (I hadn't read the readme).

So does the backup addon work be renaming the backup to addon and the first addon to something like addon 2 when you want whatever's in the backup folder?

The game will only load the maps in whatever folder is called "addon." If you want to do folder renames and swap everything at once, that's fine, but usually for me it's just easiest to cut and paste things from one folder to another.

[Darth Lampost]

Your way's probably better.

Can someone add solved to the title now? Everything's working fine now.

you can by editing the first post's subject

Oh. Most forums I'm a member of, only Moderators and above can edit thread titles.

You want to keep AAAv1.3-patch in whatever addon folder the game is using. Its addme.script is what does the mission limit checking. If you remove that folder, you will never see the over the mission limit error. Instead, your maps will just randomly crash once you have too many missions.
