Help - Old Converted Map by WDG Explorer Won't Load, Crashes

[CyberCT]

Way back in the day I made a map for Warzone 2100 called WinterRidges. Well, not only did I recently discover that this game has been redone to work with modern operating systems, but I was also able to find my old map made in Pumpkin Studio's old Editworld.

So I understand that the new map format must be in the .wz format, which is essentially a zip file with the .wz extension. The old extension is .wdg which is what my map originally was. So I was able to get WDG-Explorer to work on my PC and did the conversion metioned in the guide here:

viewtopic.php?t=609

So after doing so, I fired up Warzone 2100 and my map was in the map menu when I went to Skirmish. As soon as I click to start the game, the loading screen comes up as usual, then Warzone2100 just crashes / quits to desktop without any explaination, right before the skirmish game starts.

So under My Documents\Warzone2100 2.3\Logs, I see there are text log files. So I opened one up and here is what it says:


--- Starting log ---

I see that the last slash is wrong in the first line for the path. However, it is correct in the file itself in "4c-WinterRidges.addon.lev":

What am I doing wrong here? Did I do the conversion wrong? I am attaching my old .wdg file if someone who has successfully made the conversions before could try on their end and see if they get the same result.

Use forward slashes in the addon.lev, not backslashes.

[CyberCT]

Thanks for the reply.

For any directory structure on the hard drive, the "\" should be correct, am I right? That's the way it's laid out above.

[bendib]

No. Use "/". Just do it. You'll see. :^)

[CyberCT]

OK I replaced the "\" with "/" and it still crashes. Here's the log file:

Anyone? I have the old wdg file attaching in a .zip file in my first post. Maybe someone can attempt the same conversion and see if it works for them?

Dude, I made that post in the other thread and didn't expect anything. That's why I made my own thread.

[medusa]

if you post in two places then why wouldn't you look in both locations?
that don't matter now that it works.
you HaVe A CaSe IsSuE fOr FiLeNaMeS it wants everything in lowercase.
