Help!

Whenever I create a map using editor, then I set the path to a strategy (strategy02.dll) the next time I try to open it I get an ACCESS VIOLATION thing and the game closes on me. I have tried numerous solutions and none have worked. I understand that this may be something to do with spawn points or something else in the shift+F9 view, but so far I have found nothing anywhere that can help me with that.

Start your map using a bz2 shortcut with /noscript. This will clear the DLL entry so we will know if that is the real cause.

Any furthur details? Such as which patch you are using maybe?

I used to have a problem sort of like this. It was from having a decimal in my folder name ("Battlezone II 1.1" I believe, I don't know if having decimals in your folder names affect 1.2, but it was fixed in 1.3).

Check the folder your map was saved in. If you can only find "yourmapname.bzn", you are missing 4 files. Look around Program Files or wherever your Battlezone II root folder is in and see if you find any TER, SKY, WAT or TRN files. The decimal in the folder prevents the files from being saved correctly in the 1.1, and maybe the 1.2 patch. You might be trying to start up a game with only one file present.

If this is the case, remove any decimals in your Battlezone II folder, rename the files to "yourmapname.TER, SKY, WAT or TRN", and move them into your map folder.

I use "Battlezone II 1_3pb4a" and names like it for folders. I suggest something like that if that is your issue.

I am using Forgotten Enemies, though I had the same problem in BZ2 normal and the 1.2 patch

No, I can find the TER, SKY, WAT and TRN files. I also created the .inf file (by copying it from another map, renaming it and modifying it to fit my map), and the DES file (by the same method).

Thanks, I'll try that. So would it be, for example
"D:\Games\Battlezone II\FeBz.exe" /edit mymap.bzn/noscript

"D:\Games\Battlezone II is my bz2 root directory, and I'm using Forgotten enemies.

Care to post the Access Violation? It should be in BATTLEZONE.log in the main bz2 folder.

Tanks for the heads up on the decimal thingy too.
