My map has a very strange problem. It seems to crash of other peoples computers but not mine. Two people have tried it and both experience the same types of crashes. It seems to crash at any random point or time whatever you're doing. The other strange thing is that I have tried it on two computers at my home and it works fine, no crashes what�s so ever. Everything works okay such as Harvy, base defence etc. I have though it maybe the upload but I have tried two different transfer methods, AIM and DCC on IRC and still the problem persists.

Right, I've just discovered something else. It won't crash if you site absoloutly still, but when you move it crashes. However you can move freely around once it has loaded and will crash at any random point.

I've heard of some strange ones before, but this? Lol.

Sounds like a missing dll or something similar to that but can�t quite tell you what it is or what type of file it really might be. I don�t think it is a .dll but just saying it�s sounds like something like that.

Maybe it was a bad export....Just load everything up again...and try another export...I had a Client side problem on a map of mine...and it never recovered....Was going to give up on mapping.

Then i decieded to try again....It's very fustrating...But hang in there

you are missing a w3d, that is what causes that.

The only .w3d files I have temped into the .mix file are the main map file and the GDI base gate. They all seem to be in the file and they seem to work on my comp. I haven't temped any other *.w3d files to it. Unless when it gets used on other PC's, they can�t find the file. Confused

Well I don't know what files are missing since it doesn�t crash on my computer and the other one I tested it on. I'll just re-compile it and see if that fixes it.

use a program called "FileMon" on the other peoples computer, set the filter to *.w3d, and look through the logs for the one that cannot be found right before it crashes.

I have got someone who recorded some logs for me. Each of the logs on the .w3d files is different at the end.

A few lines from the end of one of the logs

17761 7:40:03 PM Game.exe:1292 OPEN C:\Westwood\Renegade\F_HA_RPRG_RELOD.w3d FILE NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All
17762 7:40:03 PM Game.exe:1292 OPEN C:\Westwood\Renegade\F_HA_RPRG_RELOD.w3d FILE NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All

17764 7:40:03 PM Game.exe:1292 OPEN C:\Westwood\Renegade\DATA\F_HA_RPRG_RELOD.w3d FILE NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All
17765 7:40:03 PM Game.exe:1292 OPEN C:\Westwood\Renegade\DATA\F_HA_RPRG_RELOD.w3d FILE NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All
17766 7:40:03 PM Game.exe:1292 OPEN C:\Westwood\Renegade\DATA\F_HA_RPRG_RELOD.w3d FILE NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All
17767 7:40:03 PM Game.exe:1292 OPEN C:\Westwood\Renegade\DATA\F_HA_RPRG_RELOD.w3d FILE NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All
17768 7:40:03 PM Game.exe:1292 OPEN C:\Westwood\Renegade\DATA\F_HA_RPRG_RELOD.w3d FILE NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All

The other log I got was diferent at the end (can't post it, got overwritten). All of the lines in the log say "FILE NOT FOUND". I tested it on my comp and it said the same but didn't crash.

I just found out the map will run on others peoples comps but will crash on some others. It seems like it's a 50/50 chance it'll work. Confused

Oddest thing just happened...I went to copy and paste the .w3d file name you mentioned above...And IE crashed just like renegade would.

I highlighted the file name and went to right click and IE disappeared...not minimized not there at all....Hmm Shocked

Shocked

I'm dead serious

seems to be ok now...F_HA_RPRG_RELOD what is this W3D anyway?

Try to erase objects.dbb and open the level back up in level edit....It' will generate a new objects.dbb and may conflict any type of changes you had made in the past

I've just found out the problem, it was caused by three custom textures that I used. To fix the problem I'll have to convert them to .DDS. The problem was also solved by removing some .PKG's that seem to conflict with it in some way.
