Hey Axel, its nice to meet you. I to am having similar problems with my map. When I try to save it, alter anything within it, or even rebuild it, it will just crash. My post is a few threads down. See if you are having a similar problem as me so we can at least be on the same page with this. I to am very bent out of shape for losing this map as it was coming along well.

If you find a solution, please post it here as I will do the same. I tried reinstalling the game completely as well with no luck.

I had an error when I tried to build or save a level, I noticed in the bottom bar it would get to loading RefShaderCache-PC-D3D-SM2.upk then it would crash.
I keep saving my maps with an extra number on (01, 02 etc) so I had to go back a few and carry on from there.

ok I am downloading it I will see if I cna find the problem for you

question : where do you put your files at when you are working on them? like what folder

also are you on XP or vista?

I'll see if I can see what your prob is I'll post back soon

-game

ok I published it just fine. it looks like you are trying to cook it. try just to publish it.

also your map should be here :

C:\Documents and Settings\<userID>\My Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\unPublished\CookedPC\Maps\CustomMa ps\

Make sure you create the Maps folder if you haven't already.

now open your map out of this folder and do a publish.

if you get no errors then launch the game and check if you can see the map in the verses mode.

if you can you are done.

now in this directory :

C:\Documents and Settings\<userID>\My Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\Published\CookedPC\Maps\CustomMaps \

your map should show up with an .ini file

if you want people to play test your map you need to have both of these files and 3 more too. if you go up 2 folders to CookedPC there will be 3 shader.upk files

zip all 5 files and make sure to put in an install doc to tell people where to put things

maps and ini here:

C:\Documents and Settings\<userID>\My Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\Published\CookedPC\Maps\CustomMaps \

shader files here

C:\Documents and Settings\<userID>\My Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\Published\CookedPC\

hope it works out man.

if you want to test it throw me a message

Darth Axel 007, it isnt advised you erase your original thread and put fixed, people look at this forum for help and would have no idea what this thread is all about.
Just a suggestion. ;)
