BF1942/Stalker/custom map

[MillerMod]

Ok, soon i will give up making this s**t map.

I am making this base and tried to test it, the bf crashes. Ok, than i go back to bc42 and just saw this:



What can i do now?

Hmm. Well you can make the water go all the way down, then "snap all objects to ground". Then open prefab manager (F12) and click "new". Now select your base with the tool that pops up. Save the prefab (by clicking "create" on the next window that pops up). Now open a NEW project with all the settings you want, open prefab manager again, and click the saved prefab you made and place it in the level.

About BF crashing, if it was working fine before you made that map, then it most likely is that maps fault. So AFTER you do the prefab thing (If that theory actually worked), you need to delete that map from your BF directory.

Hope it helps!

Check this first:

Open your level's RFA up, then go to
bf1942/levels/<levelName>/Init/Terrain.con

Look for this line:
GeometryTemplate.yScale 0.600000

If I remember correctly, it effects the heightmap scale. So if this number is very small I think the height map will be very smooth (and very low).

You have some settings like GeometryTemplate.waterLevel and GeometryTemplate.seaFloorLevel in Terrain.con, you can change it there directly.

Thx mates for the replies, but the main problem is not the water.
The problem is the "ground" went down to almost 0 under water level, because thsi base stands on teh ground correctly as i did in bc42.

I made this map like this: ectracted a basic map, than put inside teh custom objects, than repack it.

Maybe the repack damaged? Because when i click on the rfa file to open it in Col.Cruachan's Explorer it gives an error and can not open it.

This is the Init/Terrain.con befora i repacked the map:

Did you make sure to pack the heightmap too?

Did you make sure to pack the heightmap too?

The "heightmap.raw" is in the map files,in teh correct place.

Does the "gmakerfa" or "winrfa" like accents letters (á,ó,ű ...) ?
