when i load any multiplayer map(even the stock ones), the game crashes when i try to select my weapon prior to spawning
the message says: "script runtime error"
can anyone help? or should i post the whole error message from the console?


edit:
could it possibly be that i might have used some custom textures that are no longer available? (i deleted some dl'ed maps)

yeah.. you could have messed up something from the original setup.

I've had to reinstall twice over such things.

i assume you mean reinstalling the editor...
does that mean i will lose any maps i ahve downloaded or worked on?

back up the .map files then if it does delete them then u can just put the .map files back in ya game/mp folder

Actaully, the editor is part of the game. Twice I have loaded a map that instantly crashed the editor. I then can't open the editor anymore. I have tried to solve it by just deleting the editor.cfg file, but that didn't help in this situation so I had to reinstall the game.

sucks.

If you were using custom textures/sounds/guis/anything else, really from a pk4 that you had placed in your base folder and then later got rid of, it won't be able to find them, and will crash.

drech.. that might have been the problem. thanks. I will remember that for next time.

thanks for the feedback guys
im still working on the problem...
1) i uninstalled both the editor &the game
2) i deleted the registry entries associatd with both of the above
3) i reinstalled the game, then the editor
that didnt seem to fix it so i will delete all custom textures, maps, mods, etc., repeat 1-3, and it to hell if that doestn take care of it lol

hooold up

First, just check the map for any objects at all that might not exist anymore. Look around for blacked-out textures, guis, invalid models, or whatever else. It could just be a simple problem like that.

thats one of the first things i did
i figured that wasnt the prob because i cant even load the stock maps, although i CAN spectate...

just noticed this threads in th e wrong category
