Patch 2.0 cooking Titan content - FIXED!

[Cr4zy]

After some e-mails with Josh at epic the problem has been fixed.

In your: Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Published\CookedPC

Folder DELETE the GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk file.

Now have fun cooking your maps with Titan Pack Content! :D

Edit:
You may also need to replace GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk in Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\CookedPC with this file -

EPIC link - http://www.epicgames.com/download/GlobalPersistentCookerData.zip
My FTP - http://Cr4zyB4st4rd.co.uk/Other/GlobalPersistentCookerData.zip

If neither of the above fixes work try to do a recook with -full
Easy way to do that load up UnrealFrontEnd.exe located in X:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries

Edit: After removing the GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk file in my game-folder (E:\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\CookedPC) I can't cook anything ! On drive c in >Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Published\CookedPC< this file don't exists.
So I've copied it back and I can cook my >normal< maps, the new stuff still crashes.

[Bi()ha2arD]

well, i can cook my rerelease of Downtown_Necris (thank you epic) with that hack (but i replaced the file with another one crazy gave me)

BUT:

no matter what the filename is, it ALWAYS overwrites their map.

[»TheHitMan«]

Glad I aint the only one with this problem. I'd like to have a fix soon!

[Cr4zy]

Try replacing GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk in Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\CookedPC


Looks like an cooking-related file didn't make it into the patch.

http://www.epicgames.com/download/GlobalPersistentCookerData.zip

Unzip that file into your UTGame\CookedPC directory (in the install directory, not My Games). For testing, you may want to back up the existing GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk, but it shouldn't be necessary.

[plugh]

Got it working, thanks Crazy. Had to replace the GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk and delete the GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk in the My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Published\CookedPC folder for it to work. Yay!

[1337_Sniper]

You Rock, Crazy!!! Thanks for relaying the info.

[Sanch3z]

thanks Crazy, sure glad I found this thread.... worked like a charm.

Fully agreed !
Yes, this do it....... :)

[brianXm]

Cr4zy, great job taking the point on this issue. Much thanks! :D

[Cr4zy]

No problem, and thanks to Josh from Epic for the fast replies :)

[SmokeRingHalo]

Haven't used the new assets yet but thanks to CB & Josh for heading off inevitable problems before I had any.

[apophis3d]

Great work on getting that taken care of man. Someone really needs to make a sticky for this until Epic patches this up.

[Bi()ha2arD]

damn! i put the new file in mydocs...

crazy, could have told me earlier...

edit: same prob as i posted before...

[ShadeMistress]

awesome, thanks for that, this cleared up my problem pretty quickly :)

[Rumple]

I did EXACTLY what you said and I'm still having problems. I'm converting CTF-FacingWorlds to VCTF and when I try to cook with UnrealFrontend or Publish through the editor it crashes.

May not be too helpfull Rumple, but that MipLevel_4 error sounds like a MipMapping error, which I would hypothesize would have something to do with Shader Data.

You could try deleting any Shader Caches just in case...

Other than that I am not sure, but I do know that quite a few people have tried re-cooking FacingWorlds (myself included) without success, there's just something in that map that the editor seems not to like at times for some people, yet other people seem to have no problems, so I don't know how much help this is. ;)

[Cr4zy]

Rumple you could try a cook with -full.

What is -full???
:confused:

You may also need to replace GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk in Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\CookedPC with this file -

You just save my day, thx for this info and link !

Tried to cook with the new deployables last night only to get the crashing issue. I'd hoped that a thread like this existed!

Thanking you muchly!! :D

[{UNK}MIC]

I can't get my maps to cook either. I tried what Cr4zyB4st4rd said to do and I still can not get it to work.

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb73/amaoomcc/cantcook.jpg

[Cr4zy]

What is -full???
:confused:

Use UnrealFrontEnd.exe (X:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries) to do the cook

http://Cr4zyB4st4rd.youtea.de/Screenshots/full.jpg

Make sure Full recook is checked.

Suggest the same to MIC, also the cook screen doesn't really say anything, posting the launch log can show what the problem package is

[Bl!tz~]

http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt58/bfgblitz/cookpb.jpg


did exactly what u said bout the files delete/replace ....and cant get it working on 3 differents maps...always crashed on that same line "Cooking UN_Sky"

.......weird :confused:

[Bl!tz~]

Use UnrealFrontEnd.exe (X:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries) to do the cook

Suggest the same to MIC, also the cook screen doesn't really say anything, posting the launch log can show what the problem package is

all thoses fixes are way far too technicals for an old fart like me....it s hard to learn to map but ....if we need to repair the ed before using it....i m not far to leave all that....really boring !

thx for help crazy in all ways

can u explain from where i can find unrealfrontend.exe? how to use it (tuto link or like that)

and how can i post the launch log ?

srry beeing so nooby; nothing seem to be under control ...lol...on my side....but on the tool side too....anarchic tool !

[{UNK}MIC]

Could you tell me specifically how to use UnrealFrontEnd.exe? Do I put the location of the file in the "Maps:" box? I tried to and get the following error.

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb73/amaoomcc/unrealfrontend.jpg

[{UNK}MIC]

okay I figured it out and it works! YAY :D Just type the name of the file in. The program will find it. Here is a screen shot. Thanks for all the help!

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb73/amaoomcc/frontend2.jpg

[Bl!tz~]

damn...no way ...i probably did something wrong sumwhere :p

http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt58/bfgblitz/frontendpb.jpg

[PrecRoy]

I believe that you do not NEED to use the Front End to do the cook. If you delete (or remove) BOTH versions of the offending GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk file from your "My Games" folder and the game install folder, you then place the new GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk ONLY in the game install folder.

I was able to cook from within the editor for content from pre-patch/titan. I did not try to use any new content. If it's the new content that causes peculiar behavior, then I did not check on that.

[Cr4zy]

damn...no way ...i probably did something wrong sumwhere :p
....

Would appear something is defiantly wrong with your UN_Sky

Before you cook it (in-editor) when it asks you about saving packages click No as long as you have it fully rebuilt and save that shouldn't actually affect anything, but if you have possibly modified something in UN_Sky that can cause issues.

[Bl!tz~]

yoo in fact something wrong with my ut3 lol..on other pc it cook well ; i m going to reinstall another time all that ....oioioi.....srry bout my "out of topic" post crazy and thx for the fix i ll apply it on brand fresh ut3 ;)

edit:work like a charm now ;) thx again

[Cr4zy]

No prob, your problem got solved thats all that matters :)

[{UNK}MIC]

The map I made has the new deployables and the new hellbender.

Are you running unreal frontend in administrator mode? (right click on file and select)

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb73/amaoomcc/frtendadm.jpg

[{UNK}MIC]

oh cool! glad it works now :D

[M^vL]

Any chance this would have an effect on other cooking issues with the patch? I'm having problems with movers now. I don't have any Titan content, but now that I'm cooking with the 2.0 editor, I'm having some new issues.

http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=668918

[Vertigo101]

Arg I'm confused I deleted the GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk and the exe still crashes as soon as it trys to cook the level.

maybe I should change my sky back to a normal UT3 sky instead of titan sky O_o

[Lord_PorkSword]

Make sure you remove BOTH GlobalPersistentCookerData.upk files. One from the game install dir and the one under the my documents folder.
Copy the updated version into the game install dir and it 'should' work.

When I first tried the fix I forgot to check the my documents dir and had constant crashing issues. Once I deleted (not replaced) the my documents copy cooking (with the new Titan pickups) worked like a charm.

[PrecRoy]

Lord_Porkie's got it: delete both, ONLY replace the one in the game install directory, and you're good to go.

[sgtmay]

Thank god!
it fixed my cooking problem :D

Thank you!

Just a couple quick questions from a server admin, not a map maker.

Does this mean that some of the maps that I use on my server will not work until the original author has re-cooked them using the tips in this thread? Seems there are a number of resources that the mapper used in his map, but have been either removed or relocated following the Titan pack and patch 4.

The map in question is DM-Razerate. I've contacted the author to see if an updated version will be available, though the map was created in 2007. :(

Is it possible for *me* to cook the map to make it playable again?

[Cr4zy]

Some maps may need recooking with 2.0, although most should just work.

As for being able to recook it is most likley no as it's already been cooked and you need the unpublished version.

[Spoondog]

Has anyone successfully cooked titan content for PS3?

I'm able to cook for PC fine by using the methods mentioned here, but cooking for PS3, even using the "-full" switch and deleting all the localshadercache & globalpersistentcookerdata files in my mydocs/published & unpublished areas, I still get the error and crash:

MipLevel_2 for Texture2D PICKUPS_2.Deployables.Materials.Xray_Overlay
Do we need to get a GlobalPersistentCookerDataPS3.upk file from Epic aswell?

[Cr4zy]

Have you got the latest PS3 mod tools? 2.0 or 2.1 cant remember.

Theyre on UDN, id link you but im on my iPhone :x

[Spoondog]

That could be it actually... I did a reinstall not long ago and may not have installed that. Will try now.

[Spoondog]

No, that doesn't seem to be it :/

[Cr4zy]

Just tested myself on a map with Titan content, and it also crashes, with the latest mod tools, which did work for maps without any titan content.

Ill pass it on to epic.

[Spoondog]

I've emailed Josh & Steve to see if we can get a PS3 cooker data file too.

[Spoondog]

I'm still in contact with Epic about this - but I'd like to ask - has *anyone* been able to cook a map that contains titan content successfully for PS3?

[Spoondog]

FYI - I confirmed with Epic that it is currently NOT POSSIBLE to cook titan content for PS3. Will most likely be addressed with a patch I guess, but not for a while.

[jayoplus]

Thanks, Spoondog.

[Lord_PorkSword]

Damn... I was hoping there'd be a fix for cooking maps with Titan content for the PS3 folks... :(
