What? Map cache files are made automatically not manually. As far as I know you cannot cut a map in smaller pieces. You cannot "copy" and "paste" a map part/area.

Nah... not really!
it''s well.. when you see you understand it..
It''s quite open, so there is not really a possibility to cut it somwhere..
But... what script or configfile makes the cache?
I have all configfiles changed and there is NOT one cache from none of the 7 maps in total now...
What can i do? you are my savior if this can be fixed.
Thank you for replying me Plutomaniac.

I usually open the map in MapView and it generates a .map_cache if that's what you want.

but WHERE is it generating it from OR where does it place the cache?
i am building a full coversion.. so i need to know where the caches come from?
my map is too big for loading i guess.. dont know but it loads like 3 times sof 10......
So there will probely lot of players gettign that famous ERROR there is something wrong message!
This must be fixet or at least... the error\crash must be solved.
Hopefully there is something that i can do...
Tnx for responding

RE: Cache Error. i need to make a cache HELP!

The size of a map will not cause a crash. It will only crash if you messed something up.

A cache file is good for loading times, as it brings the time down. But it takes up a good amount of memory space. It's recommended to have them when sending a finished story out.

The engine generates the map_cache automatically. Again, run the level in MapView. The .map_cache will be generated in the same location the map that you loaded was in.

Exactly what Statyk said. Make sure that the cache files are not deleted after being created unless they cause errors(very rare, not your case). If you delete them for no reason you might experience objects at normal size instead of the one you set, crashes etc...

RE: Cache Error. i need to make a cache HELP!

There is the problem..
The cashes will NOT be made!
Then i have to search the error.. Log doesnt give errors.. just some missing stuff.. that wouldnt crash the game a suppose..
And it will NOT make a cache while i opened it in the mapview.. hmm...
Again.. we must fix this problem or this full conversion will be lost...
Anyway, thank you for searching\helping me!
I go try remove all stuff!
BTW... i don''t delete the cashes.. they dont even get made???

The view has creted it finally..
now there is Half of the map in the editor..hmmmm
Here is the thing.. that might cause the problem..
I have the game 2 times installed
C:\ I build the maps\scripts etc etc etc...
D:\ I have the full conversion installed and ONLY play FC....
I think the FC is trying to load stuff... that just isn;t there.. cause it''s on drive C..
I copy my whole maps etc to D:\ Let''s try & fingers crossed...
-
What might causing the problem.. is that i dont have ALL stuff in my main Full Conversion folder..
I have to find this out.. Keep you up to date fo other people if they encounter this same problem.
Thank you for helping out guys!

Try this:

CreateDataCache();

Put it at the void OnLeave() section Wink

Oh, I have to add something: dnalange wants this so a really big map doesn't crash, and the player won't open the MapView to solve a bug, right? Wink
