BrassEm Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have used Dr.Jones' SFS extractor to get the maps from the new UBER patch. (Many thanks Dr. Jones!!!) These maps I can load up no problems in the Map Editor. I copy a map directory and rename it to my new working map to modify. I see it in the list in the editor but some times it will load, other times it doesn't. If I do a fresh directory copy/rename it will bomb at 70% when it starts loading statics. I redo copy and rename of maps and sometimes it loads all the way through. I modified a successfull load in map editor and saved it. Now when I try to load it it bombs at 20% when the 3D section starts. Anyone had any success at modifying an existing UBER map? (Fresh install with patches applied only. Dr.Jones tools pasted into editor directory. No MODS. XP.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Jones Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hi, the extractor by itself doesnt know which files are in sfs files. This is done by customized Filelist.txt file which is downloaded seperately from www.cmmods.com. This is old version, someone should update it to the last patch . br.

BrassEm Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Version 0.2FIX of your SFS TowExtractor works well. I was able to extract the map chern_g no problems. I can load this map in the TOW Map Editor and modifiy it no problems. Its just when I copy the map directory chern_g which I had just loaded okay, and rename it to mymap (or whatever). When I go to load mymap in the TOW Map Editor it CTD's at 20%. I direct copy of the working map???? It is not as simple as copying and renaming a map directory it appears.

sdp Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I've had similar experiences; copied the caenmap and called it caen000 -result:it didn't show up in the menu at all... Then I changed the name of the original caenmap to caen000 and renamed my new map to just caen and, voila' , there they are, both maps show up! However if I copy the "Clear Spring map" and rename it all works fine; both the new and the original map can be found in the menu. Now this really puzzles me...

Sneaksie Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 sdp Chances are, not all required files were present in unpacked caen map, compare it with files in clear maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdp Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 ok, thanks sneaksie, will do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassEm Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 The Roads directory for a start is not extracted, and there are no horizon map files. They can be rebuilt using the "recalc and save light map" function in the map editor. (Warning, it takes 20min on my AMD+3500) The map can then be renamed and loaded okay which I have tested on the chern_g and now caen map. As soon as you modify the maps though (statics in this case), they will crash to desktop next time you reload them. And here is the long version... I have tested the caen map and can confirm the following using the sfsextractor02fix utility... Firstly backup you maps directory. I am assuming that you have to unpack the _road and _Tex directories as well as the map you want at least. In this case caen for you. (chern_g was for me.) In my testing I have unpacked all the map files to be sure any cross linking is maintained. You will find that you will be able to load the initial map in the map editor which WILL, if you check the directory, be minus some files, significantly the roads dir and horizon maps. (See the first directory listing below.) First thing Without doing anything in the map editor, is run the "recalc and save light map" menu item. This will take a solid 20mins on a AMD+3500 to do the calculations. After it is finished save the map. When you recheck the directory important files have been added. (See the second directory listing.) NOW you can copy this directory and rename it to what ever you want. It will list next time you start up the map editor and more important. It will load. The problem I am getting now is that when I modify any statics and recalc/save, map editor CTD's on the next reload of the map. I have tested chern_g and now caen and they do the same thing. You CAN get them to load but you cant modify them. (DirlistXX.txt are my files used to make these lists) Directory Listing After unpacking. ---------------------------------- Directory of C:\Program Files\Battlefront\Theatre of War\maps\caen

rofl Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 You can take one from the new empty maps, rename it to xx and then copy all files from the caen in it, the raods you must copy from caen_f. Works fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassEm Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks Rofl, Will try that. [Edit.] I copied and renamed the clear summer map. Pasted the "Recalc and save light map"ed extracted map directories for chern_g straight over it. Loaded up. Added some statics and saved the file. Shut down ME and reloaded the modded map. AND IT LOADED. MANY THANKS Rofl for getting us started. [ February 06, 2008, 01:19 AM: Message edited by: BrassEm ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
