Can't open map in loathing

Post by Zaknafein »

So I extracted the covenant level from the tfl solo plugin, then transferred over as many tags as I could find from that map over to my local folder. Then I tried to load up the map in loathing, and it crashes. Here is what my mythlog says:

So, please help me fix this issue!

Don't you mean Loathing?

It looks like you didn't copy across all the needed files. Try searching in-files amongst the extract Fallen Levels for the missing tags.

I'll put a working Covenant in a Local folder later when I have time and upload it if you're still having trouble.

I did some stuff to the covenant mesh before I decided to switch it to a new local folder, so I would prefer to just fix these issues rather than work on a new mesh.

Copy across desert column and desert cornerwall in the collection references folder.
