Whenever I go through the process of finishing a map in Commando, when I get to Build Dynamic Culling System, Commando crashes. It isn't the level, because I tried it while not having terrain opened and it still crashed. some parts of my buildings are invisible a lot of the time, is this due to lack of Dynamic Culling? Should I try re-installing?

Make sure you placed the human pathfind generator before attempting any of that.

Try Generating the pathfinding first. Then discard VIS data > repartition culling systems > Build Dynamic culling system.

See my VIS tutorial in the sticky post in this forum.

Really? You answer a lot of questions as if you have tons of experience, yet you can't make a first map because of dynamic culling? Wink Or is tehre a way around it :\

I had this problem with my first map if I remember correctly. It defiantly has something to do with which order you have to do it.

Sorry I can't tell you right now, on a different computer. :/


Ooh, nasty.

Yes, I'll admit I know everything except VIS. I've never taken the time to learn it.. I don't know why. I should right away.

I know a list that tells us how to do it in order.

http://renhelp.co.uk/?tut=16

You have to follow the same exact steps in that tutorial, and it should work.

Mad I have a RenegadeToolsInstaller and a RenegadeToolsInstaller2 in my temp folder. I uninstalled, then reinstalled the first. Still crashed. Installed the second. Still crashed. Each time I did Discard VIS, Repartition Culling, then Dynamic and then poof. Crash. Like i said before, I don't think VIs has anything to do with it because in the tutorial it says some maps don't need VIS, so if other maps don't even use VIS and dynamic culling works for them, then VIS isn't the problem.

You're still doing it wrong. You have to do ALL steps, not just the VIS steps, and you HAVE to do them in order. For example, the human pathfinder generator is the first step. Then Generate Pathfinding.
