Build Crashes

[mechanic]

hey guys, sorry if this has been answered but I could not find any help with the search. Also the AHwiki and terrain tutorials are all busted at the moment.

I have made a very small island terrain with 3 fields, 1 for each country. I can export it but when I try to build the editor crashes. Can anyone suggest anything I might be doing wrong?

thanks.

Some times when you build a new terrain for the first time the TE will do this.

Look in you Terrain Editors ahiiterr folder and see if there is a .res file with the name of your terrain.

If so copy it to your games ahiiterr folder and load it off line

Thanks for the reply sir. I have found this .RES file and moved it into the correct folder. When I select it for offline play it seems to work but then it loads up a default terrain and does not laod my custom terrain when I click offline.

OK lets make sure you had all the proper stuff in your terrain.

1. You had an HQ for each country, object property of "HQ", one assigned to each zone 1,2, and 3

2. You had an airfield for each country with the object property of "Group Master" one assigned to each zone 1,2, and 3.

3 You had a town for each airfield owned by that airfield and a  object property of "Group Master" and the proper zones for the field it was assigned to, 1,2 and 3.

Check these things and then we'll take it from there..

I have tried what you said but I must have done it wrong. Here is what i have:

lafld0 - field owned unchecked - Country 1 - Zone 1 - Group Master
hqt0 - field owned unchecked - Country 1 - Zone 1 - HQ
town0 - Field owned checked - Field 1 - Zone 1 - Group master


mafld0 - field owned unchecked - Country 2 - Zone 2 - Group Master
hqt0 - field owned unchecked - Country 2 - Zone 2 - HQ
town0 - field owned checked - Field 2 - zone 2 - group master


mafld0 - field owned unchecked - Country 3 - Zone 3 - Group Master
hqt0 - field owned unchecked - Country 3 - Zone 3 - HQ
town0 - field owned checked - Field 3 - zone 3 - group master


In the field setup options i have set the three fields in order bish, nit, rook.

I now am getting three files including the .RES file.  But when i select my terrain for offline play I still get loaded into ndisles

I have tried what you said but I must have done it wrong. Here is what i have:

lafld0 - field owned unchecked - Country 1 - Zone 1 - Group Master          <----Should have the Ownership Field owned Checked
hqt0 - field owned unchecked - Country 1 - Zone 1 - HQ               <---- The shape should be the hq0 shape not the hqt0
town0 - Field owned checked - Field 1 - Zone 1 - Group master


mafld0 - field owned unchecked - Country 2 - Zone 2 - Group Master         <----Should have the Ownership Field owned Checked
hqt0 - field owned unchecked - Country 2 - Zone 2 - HQ                <---- The shape should be the hq0 shape not the hqt0
town0 - field owned checked - Field 2 - zone 2 - group master


mafld0 - field owned unchecked - Country 3 - Zone 3 - Group Master       <----Should have the Ownership Field owned Checked
hqt0 - field owned unchecked - Country 3 - Zone 3 - HQ                <---- The shape should be the hq0 shape not the hqt0
town0 - field owned checked - Field 3 - zone 3 - group master


In the field setup options i have set the three fields in order bish, nit, rook.

The red edits are the problem.
