Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

Howdy!

I have been spending hour after hour modding up DC_DesertSheild, over 20 hours in on the mod, and thats touchups to a previously copy I modded. A buddy of mine was bored so he wanted to go in and check out the progress I had made on the map so I started a internet server thought the battlefield game, not using any server program to do so. Normally this would work for me, but this time while I ran around the map waiting for him to load he had messaged me in msn stating that the game crashed to desktop, but he had found the server.

After attempting this I closed down my game and the next time I tried to run a server it would load to the point of the game being about to run, and then crashes to desktop. I attempted to run a local server and an internet server and neither of those worked.

I can sucessfully connect to any other internet server, including the server we run here in our apartment, but I can not for the life of me get my own server to run so I can test out the modding I have done so far.

I have removed the modded maps that I was working on out of my bf1942 folder and tested it that way too, but that didnt work either.

Is there any possible way this can be fixed BESIDES reinstalling the game? I am pretty sure that is what its going to come down to but before I go through all that I figured I would shout out to the "gods" and see if anyone had heard of this before.

ITs a pretty common problem i think, so your not alone

Best thing to do is start the game in windowed mode, and see idf any error messages appear during loadtime. Best you can do it with the debugger, since it will catch most of the problems, as the normal .exe only does a few and just crashes most of the times. If you see anything, try if you can fix it yourself , msotly its pretty clear what is wronmg. If nothing shows up, try using windows search in the bf42 folder and sort on date of last change, if anything is later than 2004 orso, replace it (except for the config files ofcourse). You dont have to neccessarily reinstall, you can use winpack too.
