Problem with new custom map

[Blitzk.-Bob]

Hi everybody!

I finished my work on a training map and tried to host it.
It works fine for me and also some mates can join and play that map.
But most people can't connect.

Just the normal loading screen, and after 2 hours they stopped connecting.
There is also a problem with the textures, some buildings have no texture, I can see everything fine, I think there are some files missing?


Thank you!

Can you provide us with a little more information:

How are you hosting the server?

Did you give your friends the cookedPC client content?

Did you put the cooked server content on the server?

Do you have a log of the client and/or server?

Regards,
Keith

Thanks for you reply.


How are you hosting the server?
- via gameservers.com

Did you give your friends the cookedPC client content?
- no, just over redirect server (also gamerservers.com) ( downloading starts, just some friends can join the server, others can't.

Did you put the cooked server content on the server?
- of course, otherwise it cant work I think?!

Do you have a log of the client and/or server?
- I'll look for this soon

Can you browse to the redirect url via a web browser ok?

Could be an issue with gameservers redirect. I know they have a very funky setup over there.

If you give me a link to your redirect files, I can stick them on mine and you could try it from there if that is any help?

[Blitzk.-Bob]

Hi Gleedo,

thanks for your help!
Yes, I can browse the files via web browser!
Also the upload during the game is working...
The players get their files to the correct directory.

Some friends can join, others can't...



Thank you

Hi everybody,

cooked a new version of my map today and send the playerfiles to some friends.
Now it's possible to connect and play...


Seems like a problem with the redirect?
And why I have just 1 playerfile (e.g. Coldsteel have 5 I think?!), I think that's why some textures are missing ingame?!

Thanks in advance!

ColdSteel has that many support files simply because that's the way Drecks organized his content. I have two support files, but there is no reason why both of us could not have put everything custom into the map file.

What textures are missing in-game? Are they materials applied from stock packages or have you lifted them from some where else?

Hi,

here are few screenshots.
The other problem is, I can see more static meshes in my map if I play it, so I cant edit it because I just can see it ingame and not in the editor?!

I would like to add this tank hit zones static mesh to my clan training map, but there are the textures missing.
