My map will no longer load for no real reason (FIXED)

    The map I'm working on has started to crash the game when I load it. I am unaware of the cause as the last time I loaded it I didn't make any changes, I just drove about. Today it's started crashing for some reason. I restarted my computer and updated the game and the map did load up and everything looked normal, but it crashed again on further attempts to load. Though I think the last changes I made were shaping and auto painting the terrain and copying a few objects. (nothing that I would have thought would cause this)

    If I manage to get it to load again what should I do in order to find the problem?

    cheers :/

    If it crashes before you get to the editor, you could open the .mis file in a text editor and delete or comment out parts until it works. Make a backup of at least the .mis file first. I don't know what part would be likely to make it crash.

    Re: My map will no longer load for no real reason

    Thanks for the info. I was thinking about deleting the last few objects at the bottom of the .mis file. Though they are just duplicates of other objects so If they are the problem then a ton of stuff will have to go.

    I have a feeling its the terrain causing the crash to be honest. The terrain painter made the map crash several times yesterday so It might have corrupted something. If I delete the part for the terrain in the .mis file what will happen? Would it just load without the terrain with all my objects floating in space? I guess if this were the case then I could just import the terrain again. It would only take an hour to get it back to where it was if this worked.

    edit: sorry whats the symbol I use to comment out sections? Is it // at the beginning of the line?

    edit edit: FIXED IT! It was a .cs file for last object I imported. I forgot that I had adjusted the LOD distance settings for it. There is a bug where if you remove a LOD and add it back in again then the order is saved incorrectly in the .cs file. It was trying to load the imposter before the actual model for some reason. I dont know why It does that. I just moved the line that adds the imposter to the bottom where it normally is and problem solved. Anyway thank you for pointing me in the right direction, If I hadn't looked at the .mis to see what was the last few things added I would never have found it.

    Cheers :D
