Custom Kits And Ai

[Coronaextra]

Hello,

I am having a problem regarding using custom kits and weapons in singleplayer. I have a map that works great in all game modes with no problems. I added custom kits and weapons to it and it works fine in conquest only. When I attempt to load a singleplayer game it will load all the way to the spawn screen and then produce the error below when hitting "ok" in both windowed mode and Debug. Debug produces no log file.

This is my first map with AI and it is entirely possible that I did it wrong, but it does seem to work fine without the added kits/weapons. Keep in mind that I do not have 3dMax (which seems to be the program all the AI tutorials use). I had it several times before but Autodesk wont let me have anymore trial versions (I guess they are on to me) and I'd have to sell my car to actually buy it. I moved the largest island files from Infantry and Vehicles to the output folder before I ran FixNavmesh. I dont know if thats causing the problem but it does work ingame.. so I dunno. Help is always appreciated. Thanks

Mmmh this could be an init-related error. My friend only used 3 weapons for the spawn screen before, and the ai crashed because it couldn't load kit #4. The bots don't see the spawn screen.

To help further post the init.con and the kit coding

You need all 7 kits on SP/coop, otherwise you CTD, bots don't know they can spawn only with 4 I suggest using a separate init for SP like Project Reality mod does and just fill in the remaining slots in that init (ie. copy the first three kits so you got 7)

[bergerkiller]

Wow I'm good, an init error was the very first thing that came in mind when he asked me

[Coronaextra]

Oh, I see now!

I assumed I got the error because it had a problem loading one of my kits. It never occured to me that the problem was it could not load kits 4 through 6. Thanks guys!

[Krauzi]

i know that this is a very old topic but i did fix the problem this way:

adding 7 kits to the init.con and modify the spawnmenu (give kit 5-7 x-coordinates of 600).

bots can select this kits but humans cannot.

[mschoeldgen[Xww2]]

If your mod always uses less than 7 kits there's no need to even display the others or moving their coords offscreen. You can rem those out in HudElementsSpawn.con and the bots still don't care.
