MOHAA crashes when creating paths...

I'm atempting to bot up Vemork factory, but MOHAA crashes when starting the map for the first time.
Here are the errors just before it dives:

It is very possible that I've managed to set some path_node's at the same position, but is that really a souce of MOHAA program failure?

No idea, never seen this error before
Indeed two pathnodes at the same location I think
I guess you just have to fix them at the given coordinates and it might work fine.
Glad to hear you've started another great and noble undertaking by the way

He he... yeah... I just cant stop myself
Do you think a LARGE number of path_node's may cause trouble by the way? The map is PACKED with them right now... and as you know, its a "little" big...

I don't know but I know OpCenter, Lakeside and Bridge Too Far are relatively large also, but don't give these errors.
I do know a lot of pathnodes is terribly bad for fps though.

I fixed the nodes in question, now the plst thing printed is:

It crashes?
How many pathnodes did you create?

LoL I like Jv's expression.

Current count is 1085... ( and increasing )...

Phew...... Thats a lot....

Well you could ofcourse try to make a different version with about half that amount of pathnodes and see if mohaa likes it

Hmmm... yes... I dont have a lot of choises here... guess I'll have to...

I take that back! I
can't reduce the pathnode count. And before the map is completed, the count will probably rise... my hope here is that I'm doing something wrong:
Basically I have a pathnode in a grid 256 units apart ( so that a node in a free space will connect to 8 nodes around it )... because nodes that are more than 320 units apart will not connect ( please tell me I'm wrong here! ).
They are scattered a bit like in the example picture from Op.center:
Is there any way around this?

Well it's just an experiment... Like you said you don't have a lot of choices (other than cancel it
)

Opcenter has 621 pathnodes and a not released bridge map 1277. Both work fine so you probably experience a broken pathnode.
I suggest the binary search method: First make a backup of your map as it is now. Then follow these steps:
1) Remove about half of the pathnodes
2) Compile and see if it loads
3) If it loads: Reinsert the pathnodes and take out the other half, goto 2
4) If it does not load: Again take out about half of the pathnodes (you 'll have a fourth of what you had when you begun) and go to 2
If you follow these steps you will find the offending pathnode (if there is one). If you find yourself repeating step 3 than there is not a single broken pathnode but there are probably too many, which is unlikely seeing as other maps have many more.
Hope this helps

I removed ALL pathnodes and took a different approach: I only added pathnodes from the spawnpoints to the objectives, because if that does not work, I'm screwed anyway... And it did work. It loads now.
Now I can set up the scripting and calibrate it before slowly adding the less important pathnodes.
