Level won't open from Installer Package, (start menu)....
Hi,
I'm doing a gaming design course and have spoken with tutors about my problem but they also suggested posting here, as the problem still persists.
I have created a level using my own textures etc. no enemies (as the assignment requirement was more about level design) but for some reason the game will not open once it is installed off of the install package I cooked, or by going to Start Menu and clicking the game there. I have double checked all steps and the cooking has been done correctly. I didn’t receive any errors or warnings when scripting and cooking or Packaging my Level.
Once it installs it opens the UDK intro video plays then the program will close unexpectedly, I have tried looking up some fixes on google, even tried reinstalling UDK but same problem. I managed to open my map using the UDK Game (which is installed with UDK) and it opens straight into the level no problems. Though i have given a copy of this level to friends and they cannot open it their end.
I've been told it might be a problem with the default engine.ini file, as with this course they told us to edit (exact instructions below):
If he wants to cook it properly, he needs to edit defaultEngine.ini and look for this chunk at the top and change the highlighted lines to reflect his map
[URL]
MapExt=udk
; Any additional map extension to support for map loading.
; Maps without an extension always saved with the above MapExt
AdditionalMapExt=mobile
Map=UDKFrontEndMap.udk
LocalMap=UDKFrontEndMap.udk
TransitionMap=EnvyEntry.udk
EXEName=UTGame.exe
DebugEXEName=DEBUG-UTGame.exe
He then needs to delete the UDKEngine.ini file which will be re-created on launch.
I have done as they instructed but same result, i have even backed up my map and fully uninstalled UDK including reg items, and fully reinstalled to no avail.
The only other issue with my level is one type of tree that i put in, looks fine in testing mode etc. but once i do open it in UDK Game it has those blue and white squares like it cannot find the texture, the trees are a default part of UDK and not created by my i was using their stuff, but it still cannot find the textures once level is packaged. and using the in editor check for map errors only results in the level not being built with production lighting. (which i did start with but the pc sat there for 10 hours at 98.98% lightmass before i decided just to use preview lighting).
I will include a link to this level if anyone wants to take a look and point me in the right direction:
