Hi! i have the versions of several popular maps form the 1x days (ariza, aurora ect) that were converted to .wz few years ago. i downloaded 3.1 today, the previous version i used was one of the 2x's, and aurora, ariza ect crash when you try to start a skirmish game. something about "cant find all the explosion graphics"
am i doing something wrong, or is it a compatability issue or something?

Sounds like a broken map.

Re: Question about custom maps crashing on startup
Has anyone converted any of those old maps over to 3.1 yet?
Re: Question about custom maps crashing on startup
These maps have custom textures inside, so they're essentially map-mods. Just remove the mod from inside (cause it won't work anyway, for the graphics system has changed ... there might be some nicer way to fix that though) and enjoy. As far as i remember, this also requires fixing something in their addon.lev. If you attach a copy of the maps, i can have a look.

Re: Question about custom maps crashing on startup
Ariza-II gives runtime error that it cannot find explosions file. The maps are located here viewtopic.php?f=44&t=1347&p=38101&hilit=Ariza#p37834

Re: Question about custom maps crashing on startup
bump!
hey, anyone got apollo4dxp (or whatever it was?) it was one of the old mars project maps. 2 player, with heavily asymmetric starts. one player starts with a few trucks and a CC, while the other starts with w massive base in a crater protected by banks of AA and several fortresses. or was it certainus i remember playing it back in the day when i was using the K.I.C.K MOD(s) with KMS mod switcher. fun little map against the ai, or if one human player is a masochist!

- this is that one i mentioned, the one that has teh massively unbalanced starting bases. good for when you what to be cruel to the ai, or possibly for testing. this is the one i am certain i converted myself, hence, has the highest possibility of being messed up! the crater base is extremely hard to crack, except, ironically, at low tech, where fortresses don't have as much health, and the other players starting supply of cyborgs can do a surprisingly large amount of damage. good for long, drawn out games. aside from aurora, probably the one i miss the most. fairly large for a 1v1 map. note: i think i got this form a German wz2100 site in the early 2000's, back when i was running the K.I.C.K mod

Re: Question about custom maps crashing on startup
also, anyone have an unaltered version of 2c-apollodxsp, in case i irreprably damaged the version i uploaded with my half-assed attempt at converting the filetype? cause the only mention google gives me of that file (other then this thread) is on warzone2100.de, and im having trouble finding a valid download link there
