Map Issues

[AdmiralGT]

I posted this on www.n00bstories.com, just wondering if anyone could help me

Hi, im having some problems with making my map and just wondered if anyone could come up with some solutions.

The first problem is the purple bridges. Im not sure whether its to do with the terrain or just some general screw up but even in game it appears the purple colour. How do i go about fixing it?

Secondly, the civilian bunker (highlighted by the circle and line) doesnt actually appear but just leaves itself as an object. In the game the bunker just doesnt appear. This also happens for several other structures. Is it a faulty object file or something else?

Any help on these problems would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Sorry, forgot to say, this is a generals map, not a Zero Hour map since my friends prefer to play just normal generals and im trying to create some maps for us to play.

Did you try a different bridge? And check the settings in the object properties?

The objects that don't show up are objects that were originally planned, but never completed (no 3d model and textures or whatever).

I tried another bridge and it isnt purple so i presume its just a faulty object.

As for the objects, particularly im having trouble with CivilianBunker01. I created a new map from scratch and it works, but it doesnt appear to work on this map. Same for the other objects. Is there any reason for it not to work on this particular map?

Thnx for all the help so far

I'm baffled by this, but perhaps the bunker could have something to do with the lighting in your map. Have you messed around with the lighting in your map? And as for the bridge, there is one bridge that was not textured and shows up purple. Just don't use it.

The lighting is the default lighting of the world builder. I think it was just a bogus map. Ive started again and the bunker works as do the other objects.

Thnx for everyones help

EDIT: I just found the problem! For some reason Civilian Bunker01 will not work on maps with SNOWY weather types. I changed it to NORMAL weather and it came back! I wonder if this bunker will work if I atleast do the snow flake script.

I have this exact problem and to shed more light on this, this civilian bunker DID work and did not disapear and I even have three bridges. I saved and then loaded the map in game and that is where the problem started. The bunkers like mentioned before do not show up and for some reason the game overwrited the map file and so when I opened it up in world builder the bunkers go missing exactly as mentioned by Admiral.

This seems to be an eternal bug in the map builder because right after I open the map with faulty bunkers I click on File>New and then simply select the same bunker and it doesnt even show up near my cursor. However if I open up a default map that already has the bunker, then it shows up.

I feel that it has to do with the fact that I included the bunkers into the outerperimeter zone. Or has to do with the playercivilian that shows up in the player list.

Any help or incite on how to fix this is highly appreciated. I really hate to start over this map seeing how I already have it almost completed.
