What a pain in the ass that was to figure out. I am working on a load screen. I spent a lot of time (more than I care to think about) messing around with stupid cliff textures. The lightmap issues on some of those funky terrain patches were not fun to deal with when I first started; now I have it down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated all my .CSV files (zone, zone_source, and the one in mp/maps). I rebuilt my fast file (no errors). I copied the FF into usermaps/mp_road, and rebuilt the IWD file with an images folder that contains both the IWI file for the loadscreen and for the minimap (the minimap works). Seems like I did everything, unless I need to modify the GSC file to tell it something about the loadscreen, but I haven't seen a single tutorial that say I need to modify the GSC file.

In the past the loadff file would go into the mod folder while the iwd and main ff would go into usermaps. That was changed in patch 1.6 or 1.7 to put them all together.

If I remove the following lines: game["allies"] = "sas"; game["axis"] = "russian"; game["attackers"] = "axis"; game["defenders"] = "allies"; game["allies_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; game["axis_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; It appears to work okay.

Sometimes it could take a dozen times or more (when compiling) you must also choose the update zone file option step #4 before your zone_source file will actually update itself....and if you don't do it right, in the proper steps and AIN'T gona happen for you! its just 1 of many piss you off things the program will do to you! wait till you put exploding cars in a map....you will pull the rest of your freaking hair out! You should not have to build a loadff file, thats done automaticly by the game itself, so you did something wrong somewhere if you had to do that... the loadff file, if I am correct tells the ff file what to do. Nothing in this game is done without something else telling it what to do and how to do it! WELCOME to the world of mapping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
