Speaking Of Terrains

I am doing some conversions on some maps.

Circumstances have forced me to cut and paste the entire map from it's existing file to a new file.

When I do this, everything copies over fine, except the Terrain Properties. The layers copy over find, but the TerrainInfo0 info does not make the trip. And trying to recreate the TerrainInfo0 just crashes the editor.

Is there a trick to copying over the Terrain Icon/Properties.

Barring that, is there a way to make Terrain on an existing map, with everything else already done? In other words, making terrain to match the buildings and such, rather than the other way around.

Thanx

What is the reason you need to copy/paste into a new map? It might be easier to fix that problem than to create new ones.

What I am doing is converting IronWrath maps for use/play in regular standard RVS Game servers.

There are some issues with the IW maps wanting a certain .u file in the System dir. This precludes those who do NOT have the IronWrath Expansion Pack (A pack that Ubi has released with NO support or follow up, so I have no qualms about converting the maps) installed.

I have found that if I copy and paste the entire map into a new map, then that eliminates the need for that particular .u System File.

If you know of any way to check a map and see why it needs a specific .u System file, that would be pure heaven!

delete the u file, start ued and open your map, see if it works (in game too) and save again ?
theres a good chance it removed the reference to the file then

Yea, tried that. It crashes the editor with a RAN OUT OF MEMORY error.

Thanx...


I'll give that a try...

My editor does let me export code and scripts.

But the .u file (in this case MP2Game.u) is not listed as an ACTOR anywhere in the MAP file.


SODsniper

OK, here is what I did.

I opened up one of the maps that has been giving me trouble. The .u file in THIS case is MP2SFX.u

I then exported ALL the scripts assosciated with this map. Lo and behold, it DID create an MP2SFX directory in my Game root.

In that dir was another dir called CLASSES. So far, so good.

In the CLASSES dir was a .uc file called 'MP2GlassEffectDF.uc' and the text of that file is as follows:



defaultproperties
{
m_bDoubleFace=True
m_ImpactSound=Sound'Bullet_Impacts.Play_Impact_Glass'
m_RicochetSound=Sound'Bullet_Impacts.Play_Impact_Glass'
m_pSparksIn=Class'R6SFX.R6GlassImpact'
m_DecalTexture(0)=Texture'R6SFX_T.Glas****.Gl*******001'
m_DecalTexture(1)=Texture'R6SFX_T.Glas****.Gl*******002'
m_DecalTexture(2)=Texture'R6SFX_T.Glas****.Gl*******003'
m_DecalTexture(3)=Texture'R6SFX_T.Glas****.Gl*******004'
}




Now, what does this tell me??

Any breaking glass in the level? From the name of the script that would be my guess. Either that or that's the effects it does when glass is hit.

So, in theory, getting rid of all the glass, should eliminate the issue.

N'est pa?
