    Map still invalid (please boost the objects budget)

    Hello everyone, i'm pretty new to farcry 4 editor and after editing the map i've noticed this red navmesh when stacking the "Island Temple Main Struct 03" with the 01, i've tried moving around a bit but the red navmesh won't go away.. so i've tried to see if i can publish it whitout the upper floor and it is still invalid.. i have some things under the terrain but i've read that's ok.. so what in the world am i doing wrong?

    Update:
    Forget the navmesh, i've found that the problem was the budget on objects.. that is ridiculously low, i can't even play coop without publishing it.. this is so dumb guys.

    You can publish any map on PC whether it passes validation or not. This does not mean you should ignore all warnings. Yellow warnings are only things to check and make sure they are not a mistake, which "Section of the Navmesh is invalid" is a yellow warning. Only thing you need to worry about with that is any AI placed in the red cube is stuck there and cannot take a single step. They can see, hear, turn and shoot player but cannot pursue. You can ignore the object budget or the AI budget but that doesn't mean anything goes. When you exceed budgets it causes FPS to drop. Just keep FPS above 30 for a minimum and you should be OK. The problem we have with that temple is we have the base and the top but the middle section is missing from the editor. It is impossible to build it or the bell tower without getting the red cube if you put many objects inside. Moving or rotating it sometimes helps but not always. Any red warnings when you validate "should" be fixed. On PC any map can be published no matter what warnings you get, just be aware some things may not work right and could ruin the map. Do final testing from the game menu map editor under "Play" It will play the same from there as it would after published. "Play" from within the editor itself is not the same!!!!

    Ty 4 the reply, i will ignore some error like navmesh and things under terrain, but still exceeding the object budget will make the map not valid for puplishing it ( at least after trying several times deleting things or making new maps just for checking in game if can publish) i will double check this thing.. are u sure we can publish a map whit object budget exceeded?

    I am sure, "ANY" map can be published in PC... even when the editor says you can't!. Just make sure you "Publish" from the game menu map editor, not from the editor itself. If you try to publish by opening the editor from Uplay without starting the game it won't work, even though it says it did

    Ok, we figured it out... there was a turret in a cave. They cannot be in a cave as the map thinks it's under the terrain. All red warnings in validation must be fixed to publish. This is an assault map for PC and now can be played in the browser "Island of the Cult"

    S00r you should be able to validate the gun turret inside that cave under terrain by doing something similar in the video below - its simple enough, all you have to do is find an item to hide the hole cut in terrain and the map would then be the same with the turret working and map validated to publish.

    I just wanted to clear up a point. If you get a validation warning when you save a map, that means you need to fix all the RED warnings in validation. If you don't get a message when you save, it will publish on PC. I have downloaded maps with several red warnings but they were made with mods. Since I don't have the mod library some objects were red warnings that the author didn't. have. Thanks Anorexic_Buddah for your fix. I have seen that video before but had forgotten about it. It would have been a simple fix in this case. He also had a boat too low in the water but that was easy.
