Hey guys, I am trying to compile and test a map I've been working on. Whenever I load the map it crashes as soon as I load the map in console to play it. I've made and played maps before so I am not sure why it's not working. I did notice there are some errors in the console when I try and compile the map that I have never seen before and I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is. I've tried going in and fixing the things that the errors are saying but it makes no sense because some of the stuff isn't even there. For example, when it says that some pathnodes are floating or overlapping. That doesn't make sense because I have no pathnodes in the map yet I have included a copy of the launcher console after attempting to compile the map so you can see the errors. The pastebin link contains the whole console in case you need it. The code box below shows the errors only. Also the Error: Acess to path errors are not what I am talking about.

I'm not 100% sure that this is why the map wont work but I have never seen these errors before and they don't make sense and I have no idea how to fix them. If you can help that would be great! Thank you
Path Node errors probably coming from negotiation nodes i.e. traverses, since you have no path nodes on your map as you say, they have no node to connect to, therefore no connections leaving it.
Thanks for the reply. I watched the video and did what it said but it doesn't work. Is there like a way to select everything and change them at once or something?

Try this: while on radiant press: SHIFT+L untill all the texture on your map look like white and grey squares
Then press " I " to select everything.
After that press " S " and click a couple of times on " NATURAL ".
Usually i repeat this a bunch of times to make sure. This often fixes the
Code Snippet
Plaintext
ERROR: Lightmap uses more than one pixel per inch.
That did fix the one pixel per inch error but the map still crashes. Any idea how to fix any of these errors?
ERROR: Lightmap coordinates don't change in at least one direction; try the LMAP or NATURAL buttons in the surface dialog.
or
ERROR: surface 'decal_destruction_roof_burned' is partially floating or needs to be aligned
or
ERROR: surface 'zombie_logo' is partially floating or needs to be aligned
The last two errors can actually be ignored, they dont break your map, the first one i remember getting it but i dunno how i fixed it. Try this but do a backup of the map first! Select everything with "I" then open the texture window with "S" and press on LMAP. That should do it. Or do the same thing but before selecting everything press SHIFT+L

That fixed all those errors but the map still crashes The only other error that pops up is the pathnode ones (I can add them in if those are map breaking errors) and ERROR: Texture repeats too many times.
Also when the game crashes it says something like couldn't find ui_button_a or something like that.
Thanks for your help though. I just wish I could get it to work because I have been working on this map for 8 months xD

Texture repeat too many times is another error you can ignore for now. Its seems youve got the menu file broken? Try running the map with developer 1 Does the map crash before or after loading?
It crashes as soon as I type devmap then the map name and press enter. It will show the very first part of the Activision loading screen, literally a split second and then crash and the WaW console says couldn't find ui_button_a or something like that.

What have you added/done since it didn't crash?
If it's an image error, WaW will crash if it can't fine ui images, etc. for example if you add overlay for a sniper in Weapon file, and image isn't included, it will crash.
I've just done mapping. I haven't edited weapons or added scripts or anything yet or anything outside of radiant. All of the prefab I've added worked fine when the map last didn't crash. Since then I've only added brushes with default textures and default models. Double Post Merge: June 05, 2016, 04:30:30 pm

I found the iwi that it says it's missing under raw/images in my cod waw directory. Should I copy the image to another location? If so then where would you think?

Copy it to root\mods\modname\images, tick in Launcher and build mod.ff and IWD.
So I have gotten to the point now where I can start and load up the map. However, once I am in the game My screen just gets popups. I have recorded a little video so you guys can see for yourself.

I have included a copy of the launcher console after attempting to compile the map so you can see the errors. The pastebin link contains the whole console in case you need it. The code box below shows the errors only. Also the Error: Acess to path errors are not what I am talking about.
