Weird Problem With Playing Map

[Lt. Striker]

I made a map and compiled it to test it so I used the fast compile option. Then I get on and test it. I close MOHAA. Later I get back on MOHAA to play my map again and when I click on it it just goes to the main screen doesnt load or anything. I DO have a player start and there is no leak so whats the problem!!!???

[tltrude]

When it crashes, the console will tell you why the server was shut down.

[Lt. Striker]

Ok I checked it and it says this

Error: unknown escape character'\u'in'maps\jsmap_test.min

what does that mean?

[Jack Ruby]

Well as far as I know the .min file is created when you load up your map.

It loaded the first time before you got your .min file, I would reckon if you delete that file which appears in the same folder as where you put your bsp ( unless you packed it already ) you will be able to play the map.

I know this is only a half answer, buts it all I know

[Angex]

The *.min basically list's all the *.tiki's, animations, sounds and stuff that needs to be loaded for your map. That way MoH can work out how far the progress bar should progress after each file is loaded, so when they're all loaded it's at 100%. This is why you don't get a loading bar the first time because MoH diesn't know how many files need to be loaded.

It looks like yours has an error in it, so just delete it. An escape charater is normally reffered to as a "non-printable character" e.g. things like a faulty carrige return, or a line feed are the most likely in this case.

[Lt. Striker]

Ok So I am supposed to delete the .min file when I play it once?

[Jack Ruby]

Delete the min file, the map should load, the new .min it makes may not be corrupted and it might just work fine, fingers crossed for you man.

[Lt. Striker]

Well thanks but the new one is corrupted as well. I hope there is an answer to make it work right because that would suck if I had to delete the .min file every time. Thanks for trying to help.

[tltrude]

Plese post the contents of your map's .min file. It may be a bad model you added to the map. Btw, Spearhead models will not work in mohaa.

[Lt. Striker]

How would I open the .min file?

[Lt. Striker]

Well I opened it with word and here is what it showed:

Did you make a loading screen for this map? It may be the URC file. As a test, change the "ui" folder name to "Xui", and delete the .min file and then test your map. if it works, there is something wrong with the URC file in the ui folder.

[Lt. Striker]

I did
