Thanks for all the replies, chaps.
i've still made no progress.
i also have 2 versions of the game, plus 2 BACKUPS of EACH of those, so i'm backed up to the hilt.
Now, my other version gives no problems, but i've also not used it for map-making version.
My primary version, the AAA-mods only version, that i use to switch between map-making and normal, is the one thats giving me the errors, and the 70% CTD on map-making version.
For the most recent example:
I d/l'd agraciers new 3 map pack: Dakar, Madagascar and Mozambique.
Al installed perfectly, all show up in FMB, all load in FMB. However, the only map i can save missions on, is the Dakar one! And this should be the most problematic, i would think, because it uses new egypt objects. one would think. but this map works perfectly for me, i can build and save missions, no worries.
As far as the other maps go, these apparently only use default objects? Anyway, these maps do NOT allow me to save missions!?!?
So, it looks to me like a default object problem? I still suspect a corrupted file somewhere....
I did manage to get fly_zo's BOB_Normandy map working, and i can save missions. Only thing is the map looks freaky - where fly_zo had his "England" at the top of the map, there was no land at all. If I fly on it, however, I'm flying over London and surrounds that are floating on the ocean?
I had to check to make sure that it WAS coffee that i was drinking... 8) :wink:
And another thing, the 2 map folders in my 2 versions are the same, barring one or t2 of the most recent maps. I've compared the folders, and sub-folders, painstakingly over several hours, and cannot find any obvious differences.
Now, you might say, well just copy that one over and try it. Good point. I tried that, and still get the 70% CTD on going into map-mode. And i can't find ANY differences in the 2 relevant bldconf files.
However, i have built up a bit of a reputation ove rthe years, as a bit of a problem-solver, with PC issues. I am not ready to concede defeat yet, after all, it's just a bunch of 1's and 0's, and i'm not gonna let them get the better of me....
...yet.... 8)
