Stuck in black screen...Help please!

Post by XxToXiKxX »

I am making my first mod ever and I'm trying to see if the skin is how I want it to be in-game. I also have some weapons that shoot other projectiles. But when I Go into Zanzibar, I Load the map, start the game then it goes to a black screen and stays there...I Did sign the map. IF anyone knows what the problem is, please tell me.

You probably corrupted the map when you swapped the projectiles, make sure you swap the dependencies or the weapon, instead of injecting the new projectiles meta over the old

If you could explain that so I could understand what to do a lot easier, that'd be nice...This is my first time ever making a mod....

Well if your using Entity go to the weapon tags and choose the weapon your going to edit, then in the huge box next to the tags right click then choose view, then choose idents. then find the small proj box and then right click and swap and a new window will open up listing all the projectiles you can swap it with, then choose the one you want.
Hope that helped you. :wink:

Then you will need to get a fresh clean map from your game, and restart.

Yes, but like before don't over write the meta of the bitmap, at the top there is a small blue circle just click on there and inject your bitmap like that (incase you didn't know)
