Why?? What can i do?

It appears you may have tried to finalize the map with the editor instead of the BF Creator and the UMIC...

Do you have those editing tools for VC2?

you can find those tools at www.vietcong-customs.com

also there are files located at www.vietcong-coop.net (thx Don for hosting)

How to finalize VC2 MP map
Easiest option to finalize MP map is to use that editor command.
But before you must create a folder “userprops” and file def.ini
Location: LEVELS \ “yourlevel” \ data \ “sublevel”\ userprops \ def.ini

Inside def.ini you need to add some info
-Map name
-*.sco location and name
-thumbnail location and name
-description about map
-map creator
and info about your game mode(s)
-modename
-modescript location and name without extention
-number of players (US,VC)
-game mode description picture (use can use puilt in pictures)
-mode description ID or your own description

sample def.ini file:
[MpMap]

name=your_map_name
sco=LEVELS\\your_level_folder\\your_level.sco
pic=LEVELS\\your_level_folder\\DATA\\your_sub_folder\\THUMB.BMP
desc = some description about your map
author = your name

[COOP]
script= LEVELS\\your_level_folder\\DATA\\your_sub_folder\\SCRIPTS\\MP\\coop_US
limitpl=6,0
pic=g\\mp\\modes\\thumb_COOP.bmp
desc= 1690

[CTF]
script= LEVELS\\your_level_folder\\DATA\\your_sub_folder\\SCRIPTS\\MP\\ctf
limitpl = 16,16
pic = g\\mp\\modes\\thumb_CTF.bmp
desc = 1691

[TDM]
script= LEVELS\\your_level_folder\\DATA\\your_sub_folder\\SCRIPTS\\MP\\tdm
limitpl = 5,5
pic = g\\mp\\modes\\thumb_TDM.bmp
desc = 1692

[DM]
script= LEVELS\\your_level_folder\\DATA\\your_sub_folder\\SCRIPTS\\MP\\dm
limitpl = 10,0
pic = g\\mp\\modes\\thumb_DM.bmp
desc = 1693

[ASSAULT]
script=LEVELS\\your_level_folder\\DATA\\your_sub_folder\\SCRIPTS\\MP\\assault
limitpl = 5,5
pic = g\\mp\\modes\\thumb_ASSAULT.bmp
desc = 1694



And then open editor
File>Finalize MP mission
You will receive error "level.c creation failed"
click "OK"
then click "close"
Your map VC2m file is done.
It is showing **.cbf creation too but its not working. If you need it then create it manually.

"create it manually" meaning using the BF creator,..or pack it using Total Commander?

yes

[Chavez]

Which one?

I imagine it is with the BF Creator...and the proper file structure...

[ando]

When I made my first map then was using BF creator but now I like more Total Commander.

[daan24]

i got also a problem but that is when i laugh the map in the game
at the loading it suddanly stops and it doesnt go furter

can someone tell me how to fix that?

[Zybero]

First, try running the game in windowed mode...
If nothing appears, try running the map through the editor and then show the errors here...

Could be the respawns for human players arent there, could be a VC is assigned twice to two seperate spawn locations, could be the time settings, ...

[Zybero]

In VC2 you can use one script for two Players... So it can't be that.
Time settings doesn't matter in VC2 (As they aren't working)
But the respawn points might be the problem.

[Chavez]

was it the respawn points?
