Editor crashes when I press Publish.

[Gorets]

I have a problem. Every time I click on Publish (my cooking) button, it crashes. I actually have a dos window going for some time, and then i have the crash. I made sure that there's no mistakes on the map. It still crashes. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what the problem is, but if you need some one to publish if for you. I or someone else on the forum will surly do it. You just have to send us the map. :)

If you happen to have terrain on your map and didnt recache its shaders before publishing, the editor has the potential to crash.

MASTER DAMAGE looks to have the right idea if all else fails.

If anyone can do that for me, I will greatly appreciate it.

Unfortunatly I'm having huge problem too, publishing all of a sudden. It publishes the map, but the spawns are not configured as team spawns. When i go to host it only I can play. Sorry maybe someone else can do it. For now I have to find out what's wrong with my editor. :(

I have always used the copy option, are you trying that? I have usually had problems trying to publish.

His player starts are still not set to team player starts. I tried both ways and it doesnt work.

As far as I know, copying is publishing, right?

Your choices are to copy and publish or to cook and publish. Copying and publishing is easier, but cooking and publishing will reduce the load time for your map when people are trying to play it ingame. Technically both will publish the maps.

Something tells me I'm reading this wrong, but if this is the only problem then all that needs to happen is that the map needs to be checked off as a multiplayer map (in world properties), and the wrong kind of spawnpoints have been placed. A special kind, called WarTeamSpawns or something like that need to be placed instead.

Try checking it off as a multiplayer map first, because that might be the only problem. If that still doesn't fix it then new spawns will need to be placed.

Thank you for your advice. I really did not have multiplayer map on. And I also changed the player start to WarTeamPlayerStart as Taffer said.
I uploaded the new map and archived it (so it's now only 2 MB). Please, see if there's anything else wrong. I really don't want all my efforts in creating the map go down in drain because of some little thing.

But I have another question. When you publish it by copying, shouldn't it copy itself to C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\My Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\Published\CookedPC\Maps\MP_Maps? Because my didn't. So I have to do it manualy?
