Map Crashes to Main Menu

[TheKGB]

Hey, I've been working on a map that is quite large (2016X2016?) and has a lot of units (probably over 400). But Whenever I try to test run it it just crashes to the main menu of myth.

I've made maps before, and never had any real problems. What could be the issue here? Everything looks to be in order, but I don't know.

Run the map, then when it fails to load close Myth2. Go find the "myth_log" text file located inside your Myth II folder. It might have information on why the map failed to load. Keep in mind, that file gets overwritten each time you open up Myth2, Fear, or Loathing. So open the log before opening any of those again. Copy/paste the contents to a new post here and we might be able to know what went wrong.

Heres the contents of that file:

Seems there is something wrong with the "00plainsofsnow" collection tag. Or maybe not that tag itself but another one that has something selected from that collection that has since been removed or modified.

Can this map be loaded in Loathing? Open the mesh tag in Fear and see what it has selected for "Overhead Map". Or is that "00plainsofsnow" collection tag the overhead map itself?

[Graydon]

An overhead error won't crash the map. I'm suspecting the collection tag listed is the colourmap itself. Some sort of mesh mismatch or something pointing to an old version of the cmap perhaps.

[Pyro]

Yeah I know, but he should still check out that overhead error in case its something easily fixable. I was trying to troubleshoot both error messages in one shot.

[TheKGB]

I'm pretty sure the mesh and the overhead map are named the same thing.

Opens in loathing perfectly fine. I changed the name of the overhead map and am looking at if that fixes it

[TheKGB]

I've figured it! Because I had named the overhead map the same thing as the coulormap was named (i didn't know) it was referencing that instead. I reimported the coulormap and everything is working afaik. Thanks guys!
