Hey Folks,


Have some questions:

1. Are there no Africa / Winter Skins anymore? They all turned Blue...
2. I have some maps I am not ready with but when I try to load them I get this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/847/errorjc.jpg/ error.


Does anyone know how to fix it?


Regards, Hinkel

It seems that the crate7 were buggy. You can remove it by opening up the map.file with notepad an delete all entries (or change it to some other crate) by manual editing of the map file. This will allow you to re-open the map in the editor without crashing.

I have the same problem, my defence skirmish nr 2 wont open in editor now. I tried to do what you said zeke to no success, now it gives error about the crates i replaced. And if I delete them all it gives an error about a bush.... WHY?! haha

[SirHinkel]

jep same with me. Does not matter how many items I remove. (Tried up to 30 now) I get one error after the other... I hope they can fix it otherwise hours of work will be dissipated...

You need to remove all the entries which deals with crate7 (not only the line that says crate7). I´d the same problem with several of my Faces of War maps that I ported to Men of War, and all maps could be loaded into the editor with some fixes.

If a bush give you an error, then you need to remove that one as well. I do not know exactly which entities were removed, but I wouldnt be surprised if some where, since the devs do remove everything that isnt used/supported any longer (which gives us in the DCG team problems as well).

Search for crate6 and crate7, remove the linking entries and remove all inventory entries.

Those crates had inventories before which lead to horrendous gameplay issues. I.e. you sent your troops to cover but in fact they will scavenge empty boxes and the inventory screen will pop up.
Other crates could be carried around which makes no sense other then for individual singleplayer scripted missions.

So if you are not sure what you are doing, search for the reported crash location, copy the ID like 0x833f2 and remove all entries with that ID.

Okay I got this in the map.file

" ...}
{Player 0}
{MID 10002}
}
{Entity "crate_one" 0x398
{Position -1842.55 -3531.09}
}..."

and the error says:
"...8944: {Entity "crate_one" 0x398
8945: {Position -1842.55 -3531.09}..."

Do I just have to delete the 0x398 after the Entity or do I have do delete the hole line?

[Zeke Wolff]

You should delete everything in the red lines (at least that is how I fixed my FoW to MoW problems).

Any word about bringing back winter and desert skins? I actually want to complete my mod.
