Map loading

ThaGreatOne · Post by **ThaGreatOne** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 8:38 pm

Well, i did a BSP conversion, and since i was told that in entity UE v1.6, there was a thing that lets you change the map to SP- Single Player Shared (well the size limit of a map..?) and when i go to load the map it doesnt freeze... it just doesnt load. it stays at "waiting for everyone to load the map...."
i checked Single player shared since its the biggest map.

any ideas on how i can fix it to load? thanks

How long did you let it sit there? Sometimes i can take 5-10 minutes.

No, when you choose single player shared, it can take about 3 hours to load. Always choose shared (mp).

Some BSPs wont load because they are to far off the originals map "central" point and when you try to spawn outside the maps maximum "range" it will just freeze. (My theory)

What BSP did you convert and what map did you use as the "BaseMap"

Also: When you do a conversion with H2Core the map is automatically changed to a SinglePlayer. Well for me anyways.

i converted scenarios\solo\05a_deltaapproach\bsp_00

it works when i dont check the map type, but when i only add weather, a new sky and a few machs and scenery, the map doesnt load. it stops loading around 96,266KB

Are we getting a black screen of failing to load? either way, heres a possible solution.

Many BSPs AFTER you convert them into a map you really need to watch what you add, in my conversion "GridIron", when cloning chunks and adding objects (scen, blocs, machs) would cause the map to give you a black screen. So what I did was injected and cloned everything in H2Gurlla and then rebuilt the map with H2core using the scnr with the injected/cloned objects.

I hope this helps
