2.Hold the area(Stay inside castle and wait for them,need to kill 64 baddies)

3.Reach extraction zone.

This is an mp coop map for GRAW2 so unrar into your custom_levels folder.

GRAW2 "Castle day" mp coop map

[Whisper_44]

for the effort, I am receiving the error below when attempting to launch with your coop version in my custom_levels dir..

Crash in application version: 0.2989


Custom level bundle coop_castle_day contains an invalid file path[/code]



Any thoughts? I do have a non standard Install Dir.. as below

D'oh! Same here too. Do appreciate the effort, and look forward to playing it when it gets sorted!

Crash in application version: 0.2989

Custom level bundle coop_castle_day contains an invalid file path

Custom install path:

C:\gm\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

[buttercupp]

Ah ha! Here's what seems to be the prob...

If you have castle_day.bundle already installed, and you install the coop version, graw2 won't launch, and you'll get that error.

Bummer...they don't co-exist with each other.

Crash in application version: 0.2989

Custom level bundle coop_castle_day contains an invalid file path

-----------------

Ya I have this one to...but I found the issue was that I have to remove some folder of my data file before launching it .

I removed them cause I have it in the editor and the game doesn't make the difference so every time I was doing an update on the map I had to remove the 4 folders which are 'castle_day','textures','units' and 'objects' folders.But it's not your problem cause you do not have a"castle_day" folder into your data file.Every time I am building a map with GRAW2 I have to clear my data folder before launching map.

So it must be another version of the map(tdm,hh...) that see similar files .I run the map on my server as many time as I want with no issues...I have a map called 'mission_hostage'(campaign coop) and another one called 'coop_hostage'(soon to come and they do coexist in the custom_levels derectory.

I do not have other maps than coop_name of map.bundle or mission_name of map.bundle in my custom_levels folder so I dont know if they coexist or not.

[Colin]

Is this still a problem or not??????? I need to know before a look and before posting at UBI please.

[Rpghard]

You are right I just put the "castle_day.bundle" and he won't co-exist with the "coop_castle_day.bundle" the solution is simple for now you will have to remove one of the 2.

The "castle_day.bundle" contains more than one type of game it's a multi-map in one bundle I tought that there will be like more than one like ex:hh_castel_day.bundle,tdm_castle-day.bundle...

This issue is solve for me...next.

[Black_Ghost]

Thank you buttercupp.

I finally played coop_castle_day by removing original castle_day map.

However, I was a little disappointed at coop_castle_day.

I feel that there are not a dramatic story and an definite operations purpose like other coop maps in this map.

I received the impression playing TDM with AI entirely.

It is insipid.

1.Infiltrate the ennemy camp(need to kill 54 baddies)

I knocked down most of enemies.

However, I spent much time running about in map to find the last enemy when he hid and camped.

2.Hold the area(Stay inside castle and wait for them,need to kill 64 baddies)

It is interesting that the sun sets at this moment.

However, the sight of night vision is unjustly short.

3.Reach extraction zone.

It is interesting that daybreak comes at this moment, too.

However, visibility is still bad.

I felt to want a more dramatic story.

(APC, Tank, Havok, ADAT, extraction chopper, etc...)

So, I will return original castle_day to my GRAW2 folder.

Sorry Rpghard, but I think that the improvement is necessary to improve the entertainment of this MAP.

Try look coop_nowhere_v2 map 's play movie.

Many have downloaded the Final trr.mappack witch also includes castle_day, they propably also wont be able to play it.

The most common problem i see after a release of new custom maps/bundles is that they conflict with other custom maps already out there, resulting in the :

----

"Crash in application version: 0.2989

Custom level bundle coop_castle_day contains an invalid file path"

---

Its not because something is wrong with the new bundles that it happens, its because a map in the new bundles already exists in the "custom_levels" folder.

how to work around the problem I dont know, only that it can be done... (TuG did it with one of their mods when same problem occured in a beta they released )

[Chrisp]

Maybe OT, but got to ask...

If say, ppl already have original castle day in custom_levels, could a mission then be made for it without having to download the whole map again?

what im thinking of is that i.e TuG_defend.bundle is only like 5 MB big..

that i figure must be because map already exist, and they only had to make new ..ehhhhh... environment settings and scripts? for what map is used for.. in this example a defend situation...

am i close to something, or way wrong about how it works?

[FI_FlimFlam]

I wonder if it has anything to do with the assets being loaded twice. Like the textures, etc. Remember the game preloads all the maps and the assets at startup. It's a good possibility that they are conflicting with the already loaded assets from another map - the original castle day map in this case.

I wonder if it would be possible to specify the assets from another custom map (as opposed to reusing assets in the quick.bundle like all other maps with no custom content do) to be used in a map bundle and reduce the size and possibly remove the conflicts. Imagine a 3MB version of coop_castle_day rather than a 65MB that has to load at startup with the 65MB adversarial one. It would reduce the map bloat significantly.

Exactly my thoughts Flim_Flam ..

so much better explained than what i tryed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just downloaded BSR mayhem_castle (5 diff. versions (unzipped 24.3MB) and im pretty sure actually thats how they do it.?

Edited September 25, 2007 by Chrisp

[Chrisp]

Would it be possible to remake the coop version without having the actual map included in the bundle?

[Cangaroo.TNT]

I think a lot of conflicts could be resolved if each map was bundled individually, rather than one giant mega bundle.

[Rpghard]

No I don't think it will solves the problem either and neither the change name of the coop_castle_day.bundle cause I've tried and it doesn't work as soon as you change a letter in the name of the map that make it defferent.

I do have a "coop_hostage" and a "mission_hostage" and they have no conflict .

I think that the problems is bigger than just this map.

All custom maps cannot co-exist cause it has attachement to it that are not in the games(textures,objects,units) and thats a BIG problem

[Chrisp]

I do have a "coop_hostage" and a "mission_hostage" and they have no conflict .

Also made for castle_day ?

[buttercupp]

I just ended up renaming one map; ie: castle_day.bundle to castle_day.bundle.old.

Works fine, and depending on what game mode we're playing, can switch between the two maps by renaming one .old.

Really love both the adversarial and coop version of this map! The spawn is kinda rough on coop (maybe better with less tangos/father away), but once you get past that, very enjoyable.

[Aracnid]

It is a great map apart from all the baddies that need to be killed the lighting changes are excellent and add to the excitement of the map. Thank you Biro your effort is appreciated. I hope you have more maps to come.

[Rpghard]

I have fixed the mini map and the loading screen map.

Also fixed headline objectives.

Coop_castle_day updated

[Rocky]

Download Entry Updated to v2.0

[buttercupp]

Alright! Need to load the new version.

[+Medic+~SPARTA~]

Really love both the adversarial and coop version of this map! The spawn is kinda rough on coop (maybe better with less tangos/father away), but once you get past that, very enjoyable.

I have found that the game spawns you most of the time looking at the rock on the ledge. RUN EAST to the rock at the south east corner of the castle wall. There are two enemy that run up on you roughly as you get to the rock there at the corner. Shoot first, killing the two guys, pie the corner wide, and while crouching proceed north clearing as you go. Be careful to watch out for the sniper in the northwest to the right of the rock.

From this point you can clear the perimeter and then clear inside the castle from the parapet and then breach and clear the houses. Take the same steps every time you die.... I mean... IF you die.

Simple enough.

Excellent mission for an all out firefight. Congrats Biro and RPGHARD

at RPGHARD, can you create a coop mission similar to the COOP_timber mission with adats and tanks. then make it for each time of day instead of changing during one mission?

This would be great for team play and for the coop community.

Thanks

You can overcome a lot of trials of this map by this movement.
