Difficulty Converting Old Map

Post by NF-Elemental »

Ok, I followed the directions and when i launch the map warzone crashes. This is the information from the stderr file.

error |02:17:04: [openLoadFile] file multiplay\maps\8c-CC-IcePlanet/ttypes.ttp could not be opened: Insecure filename
error |02:17:04: [openLoadFile] Assert in Warzone: ../../../../lib/framework/frame.c:306 (!"unable to open file"), last script event: '<none>'
error |02:17:04: [loadMapPreview] loadMapPreview: Failed to load terrain types file

error |02:17:15: [startMission] Unable to load mission file
fatal |02:17:15: [startGameLoop] Shutting down after failure

I checked the ttypes.ttp file size, and it is comparable to other maps ttypes.ttp file sizes.

Attached is the WDG file. Please try converting it. If you are successful upload it. It is alright i am the maps author. I created the map 10 years ago! If you are successful please explain how you made it work, so i can learn.

I'll try to do it...

EDIT: Interesting, when trying to convert it myself, I get same error.
But i pulled out Buginators old map converter, and; IT WORKED!

Buginator, please release that tool publicly , it is great!

you said if he comes back.
I take that to mean that you have more information about why he left?

Ok, I understand now. No I do not have any information. All I know is he is inactive. I used the word if because I don't know if he will come back or not.
