Cant use my level...

Post by KilerKev »

I can create things and stuf like that but when i play bf2 and click on my map the things what i changed arent there!!
For example i make a 5th cp and save it but in the game it isnt there.
Do i have to do something to make it work?

after you make changes to your map you have to munge it again for them to show up.

This has also just happened to me last night, I have been working on a map for a long time and all of a sudden it did this. I tried making a new map then copying the world1 folder over so now it goes through all the munging but nothing changes in game. I also tried deleting the map from my addon and then munging but it only gave me an older version and not what I had just done.

Munging should take longer. It may be getting stuck somewhere and stopping. Look at the munge output for errors and 'directory not found' type messages. Make sure none of your paths have spaces in them. A space in a folder where munge is trying to do something in, will cause it to end quickly and it may not give an error (was happening to me).

the problem for MANY of us, is that after you've munged the 1st time, it places the map ready for playing in the AddOn folder.
but the next time(s) you munge, it DOESNT overwrite the files in the map, so it actually doesn't 'update' the map!! :( I know, it sucks, but that's how it is.

so EACH time before you munge; go to the AddOn folder and delete your map and then munge again.

I tryed that just now , but it doesent change the level :cry:
BTW is it ok if the mundegeing process only takes a half a sec?
Because my first mundge took like 5 minutes!!

I honestly don't know :o I'm not a mapper :roll:

How many sides have you got? and JUST before you press the Munge button in Visual Munge, can you post a screen so we can see if you've forgot anything..? :)

hahaha - no :wink: use Photobucket or any other uploader. I'd recommend Photobucket; just register and upload.

then you can add this when posting:

then it'll show the picture
