My freinds freidn had a problem and here it was:

when he complied his map in tool it said somting about map being too large ( in space size)

the hell happened tell me incase i encounter it and tell me to help this poor map maker

He's using too many tags. He needs to remove some of them.

i used so many tags that it said maximum objects rendered and still it worked

is there anymore to the output in the debug.txt file if so can you post the whole section here please. I have had a problum that was very similer.

A way to check to see if it is a bad tag is to make a new secenrio file and just put in the bsp and sky.

If that opens in sapain copy the original secenrio file and start to delete each section in gueriller i.e. delete all of the vehilcles use delete all and then delete the vehicles palet use delete all. keep on deleting sections until it opens in sapain.

You are doing this to find the bad tag. And befor I get a post saying that bad tags will show up in the debug file not all errors will show up the error I had crashed sapain/guriller befor it had time to write to the file.

The way I fixed this was to get a copy of the original vehicle tags and copy them over the top of my tags.

Note: Delete all vehicles, BEFORE deleting from the palette. Otherwise, nasty exceptions will appear.

ok....a really really wierd problem

heres what i says in debug

You are over the tag limit by about one meg. you need to cut some stuff out.

Multiplayer maps have a 128 MB limit. If this is just a test map where you want to mess around, compile it as a SP map.

how much is the maximum sp MB limit?

Depends on the number and size of the BSPs you have in the scenario.

OMFG somthing reeeaallly wierd happened

ok i made this script

it was workign fine THEN sapien started being a peice of garbage and started giving me this

recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.
this left parenthesis is unmatched.: (show_hud_help


error was in line 112

but when i deleted the block 112 was in it just moved onto a diffrent block WTF IS GOING ON!!! HELLLP!!!!!!!!!!

ok I think i may have found the problume look at lines 103 to 106 it states

(script dormant sp12
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count wave10) 0) 15)
(show_hud_help
(script startup sp1

I think that you mant to have

(script dormant sp12
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count wave10) 0) 15)
(show_hud_help)
)
(script startup sp1

you just forgot to close of line 105 and the close of the script.

Hop this helps

ACK! no wonder! lolz thx
