Illegal Operation

Post by I True Enemy I »

Hey

I was wondering if anyone could help me here... I have a map that's near completeion. Everytime I try to add German AI I get an Illegal Operation and am forced to shut it down. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to solve this?

You have Spearhead installed and mohradiant loads Spearhead models/textures and stuff. Spearhead models won't show up correctly in mohradiant as they are of a newer version then the mohaa ones.

Most models show up as a bounding box and will be OK in game after compile (just difficult to place them when all you see is a box). IT IS A KNOWN FACT that AI will crash mohradiant when you have Spearhead installed. If you use Spearhead stuff in your map the you can only play the map in Spearhead.

If you only want to map for mohaa then you can rename the spearhead folder "mainta" to "kainta" before you start mohradiant. When you start the program it will only load Mohaa stuff. (rename the folder back to it's original name when you want to play the game).

Can you add Spearhead AI to your map in mohradiant?? Then you must be one of the few lucky ones. In most cases that will crash mohradiant.

Rename your "mainta" folder to something else.

Can you tell me which one is a spearhead AI, cause I have not really played the games. I installed the spearhead and mohaa the same day that I installed radiant. I would like to know what ai is spearhead.

New Spearhead AI is everything in AI except the German and the American ones.

Yes it is a fact in most cases that adding AI with Spearhead installed will crash mohradiant, but only AI. You can use all the textures and most of the static models without problems. If you want the map to be used in AA, you need to add the textures and statics from Spearhead to your '.pk3'.

I for one, can now add AI to a map with Spearhead installed. It hasn't been this way all along though. Not sure what happened to make this possible, but I explained what I did here.
