Cannot create file...

[Xano]

Im having a problem with Map packer and a map Ive done. The thing is I created all the 7 files necessary and when I start packing with mappacker at a time it says "Cannot create file 'map name'.cmf"

I have all the files I need and I can play the map in the game so whats wrong?

The files I have are:

!05%thumb.tga

test.lit

test.xbf

texture.dat

test.cpF

test.cpt

Sadja Path.txt

Can anyone help me?

Did you specify in Map Packer where maps should be placed once they are packed?

Make sure that you are using the latest patch for the EBFD game v1.09

Fill in the settings tab on mappacker: directory to place packed files in

( in my case C:WestwoodEmperorMapPackerCMaps )

I still cant pack the map... I have everything right, also the directory to put the packed maps. Could it be because I used Photoshop to create textures? ???  but I can play the game and the textures also great!

When I start packing, a progress bar appears and when it reaches textures.dat it crashes and say "Cannot create file C:My Documentsy ProjectsMapPackerCMapsSadja Path1.cmf"

But those directory folders are there... and when I try to change the directory to place cmf files it always goes to that other directory.

I have the patch v1.09

Can I create a RFD and RFH file like the official map packs with Dune Ex? When I used Dune Ex it only lets me change the RFH file, not the RFD.

Could it be because I used Photoshop to create textures? 

Did you make a new texture that was not standard in the game?

If you did, you will be the only 1 that has it. So it wont be very practible.

When I start packing, a progress bar appears and when it reaches textures.dat it crashes

I suggest you remake the textures.dat file by only using textures that are already in the game

I did it all over again, starting with the original dme file, didnt change the textures, just added the shadows and then did the washcompressor to create cpF and cpt files and the error is still there. I didnt use Photoshop. But even if I use Photoshop that cannot be the problem because I can play the game and it doesnt crash! Also, as they say in the Mapeditor help, you can use photoshop as the editors did use to create variety in the textures, so that cant be the problem. Seems that only I can play this map...  :(

You could try posting the files here and see if someone else is able to pack it. Then we would know if its your computer or the map itself causing the problem.

Ok, here it is, its called sadja path and its zip file because the files are too big. Try to pack them to cmf with mapPacker because I really cant. Hope the attachment isnt too big to be allowed to post here...

Thanks for the help  ;)

Hey Gobalopper when are you going to put my map in the fan made maps zone so other people can download it...?

[Xano]

Thanks, I forgot to add that the map is 8 player and the dimension is 256 x 256.  ;)

Updated accordingly.
