Objects disappeared from the map

I really need help here.
I have converted singleplayer map for multuplayer, cleaned all from "Ini editing" and all scripts. Then i added all basic parameters and starting location. But after i launch this map in game it completely empty. Everything disappear. All buildings, civilian units, objects, even bridges and trees missing. But they still on their places in Final Alert. How can i fix that?

When their Owner is messed up; happens during import.

Say before import stuff belongs to Civilian, but "new" map doesn't have Civilian, it has Civilian House.

Rechk objects' owning houses.

Bridges and trees have no owner, yet he says they disappear as well.

Probably best to upload the map so others can have a look at it.

Did you by any chance change the theater? Is it a YR->RA2 or RA2->YR conversion? Those could cause problems... That's the only thing that I think would cause problems with trees and bridges...

Probably best to attach the map or PM it to people if you do not want others to see it.

You can use my MAPCLEAN script to do this properly by having it remove sections you don't want in 1 step. If you still have the original map, perhaps try the edit all over again?

Actually this map was converted from Tiberian Sun for RA2.
I redo all this process again and set up Owner properly for every object.
Possible i shouldn't remover everything from ini section of the map. I only deleted obsolete TS scripts, other remained untouched. Now all objects on their places.
About bridges - it is railroad bridges and they didn't work properly in YR

Let me stop you right there, sir: get Terrain Expansion.
I'll edit this and get a link once I double chked all TMPs in there to make sure there are no problems/oversights like that one time I tested train bridges.

Since you converted map from TS, it's no wonder stuff gets lost. The buildings that were in TS don't...
Wait, didn't WW just re-use the IDs from TS in RA2? So while some stuff WILL disappear, not all of it should.
And trees are placed via ID, I think, so not all of them should go away...

Odd.

Yeah, better upload the map, let someone chk it with Notepad(Notepad++). I don't think FA2 will do any good here.

The CNCMapRenderer can fix missing tiles and overlays, you could run a pass through that?

Any objects on the map will likely not exist either way, you'd have to manually substitute.
