PC [Halloween Beta]'Workshop Webtool' Server Chat spam with subscribed Workshop Maps

[Delta69er]

Category: Server

Summary: When servers are subbed to a workshop item, the server/webadmin will constantly try to download the map and spam error in chat.

Description: On the new Workshop Webtool feature and functionality it will spam messages like the following: https://i.imgur.com/cj75HZL.png

This happens if you have files already defined in the KFGame.ini and this happens when you add new items through the feature.

All those messages in the image will be spammed in chat very frequently. I would say this is a pretty important bug to address due to its annoying nature and possible impact on bandwidth (as I dont actually know if it continues downloading, viewing network activity didn't look like it, but I would double check).

Reproducibility: Always

Online/Offline:Online

Just to add that I've experienced the same. I've temporarily removed all my workshop maps from the server because it seemed to be annoying players quite a lot

Noted, thanks.

I also had to remove all custom maps due to this. So how do I put new maps? Deleting every workshop setting from the .INIs and then adding maps through the new workshop webtool? or just straight ignoring the webtool and using the old ini editing method?

According to Dev's on another post, the webtool will be removed with the next beta update. So unless you could look past the chat spam, don't use custom maps for the time being.

Web admin tool that is causing the issue will be be removed in the next update. This was a feature that slipped through into beta before it was ready.

ah OK it is an added feature. Nice to hear you're reworking the workshop thin in server, I hope to see that soon on live branch!

Spreading rumors on the game developers website is like holding up a gun store.
