[Help] 0.9 init problem

[space]

I'm having a few problems converting a map to 0.9. The map init.con has been changed in 0.9 so that it calls the faction info from the PR/inits folder. When I try doing this for my map, I get the following crash and error just as the map finishes loading:

menu/nametag//minimap_cp

It appears that the PR/inits factions code isn't being read, so an error is thrown up due to there seeming to be no faction being set. To get around this, I've attempted to rewrite the map init, so that it contains all the info contained in the PR/inits files, and this kind of worked and allowed the map to open. The problem is that the mouse is then frozen in the middle of the screen and cant be used. Strangely the mouse wheel still works which allows me to zoom in on the minimap.

Is there something i'm missing here, and has anyone else managed to get their custom maps working with 0.9?

Here the version maps init, that should work :

run Heightdata.con
LevelSettings.InitWorld
run Terrain.con BF2Editor
run StaticObjects.con BF2Editor
run Sounds.con
run Sky.con BF2Editor
run Editor/GamePlayObjects.con host
UndergrowthEditable.create
Undergrowth.load Levels\monchegorsk\
run Overgrowth/Overgrowth.con
Overgrowth.editorEnable 1
run AmbientObjects.con BF2Editor
run Water.con
run TriggerableTemplates.con

else

run Heightdata.con
run Terrain.con v_arg2
run Sky.con v_arg2
run CompiledRoads.con
run Sounds.con
run SoundDistances.con
run tmp.con v_arg1
Undergrowth.load Levels\monchegorsk\
run Overgrowth/Overgrowth.con
run Overgrowth/OvergrowthCollision.con
run AmbientObjects.con
run Water.con
run TriggerableTemplates.con

Check a v0.9 map's serverarchives.con.

From Al Basrah's ServerArchives.con:

fileManager.mountArchive inits/factions_common.zip factions_common
fileManager.mountArchive inits/factions_gb.zip factions_gb
fileManager.mountArchive inits/factions_meinsurgent.zip factions_meinsurgent

Hehe - looks like thats the problem - thanks

When in doubt look at the pr files

Just thought i'd add in here, in some peoples pr_edit, the inits don't point to the right menu folder or something. To solve the inits and minimap_cp error you need to have code similar to the following in your levels serverarchive.con

fileManager.mountArchive ../pr/inits/factions_common.zip factions_common
fileManager.mountArchive ../pr/inits/factions_gb.zip factions_gb
fileManager.mountArchive ../pr/inits/factions_meinsurgent.zip factions_meinsurgent

easiest way is to just have a look for a map that is using the same factions and copy and paste the files

[[R-DEV]billoute]

i have another problem with 0.9 init , i try to play with the new factions (IDF in this exemple )to my custom map ,i paste the init.con of Gaza and create the new folder serverarchive.con(same Gaza) and the map crash at the end of loading
If i do the same with Muttrah folders , it runs strange

else, i don't find this new factions on the bf editor --> does exist an udape(0.9) of the folder "LevelEditor" ? (.../Battelfield2/bf2editor/mods/pr_edit/LevelEditor)

[[R-DEV]Amok@ndy]

against which faction did you run the IDF ?

make clear that it are Blufor vs. Opfor or Blufor vs. Blufor_team1

[[R-DEV]billoute]

in fact, i try to run with IDF(team 1) versus US(team2) for my exemple , i change code line in the init.con and archiveserver.con ( IDF instead of MEC ) but the map failed, it run with MEC versus US !

Else what about new factions weapon to put in the game, how we do that ?

[[R-DEV]Amok@ndy]

create a new .con in the inits folder
and you cant create a blufor vs. blufor map because it will only load the weapons for one team !

have a look at silent_eagle there you see that there is US vs. Rus_team1 (Russian Opfor)
