With the new textures, it looks very good, thx.

We added the map to our [PzDF]-RO-Servers:

194.60.68.70:7757
194.60.68.71:6656
85.14.218.188:7757

We added it also to our RO-German Community-Download-Area. You can download the map here:

These changes have been applied since the Phase 2 submitted version ?

I think I know the answer but want to make sure !

Thanks...

Installed, working fine

 

[EscAz]

Yep this has been changed after the deadline. I did not have time to do it before, cause i was working away. I finished just in time to submit the beta 2.

I heard some people still have the zombie bug, tell me if that happens to u.

 

[GS_Schimpf]

You have to add some lines to your server.ini (redorchestra.ini) on the server to get rid of the "walking dead"

Under the section [Engine.GameEngine]

ServerPackages=WaffenSSWinter
ServerPackages=WSSWinter1MOD
ServerPackages=WSSWinter2MOD
ServerPackages=WSSWinter3MOD
ServerPackages=WSSWinter4MOD
ServerPackages=WSSWinter5MOD
ServerPackages=WSSWinter6MOD
ServerPackages=WSSWinter7MOD
ServerPackages=WSSWinter8MOD
ServerPackages=WSSWinterTanker1MOD

Don't forget to stop the server before adding these! Otherwise the server may not recognize the changes to the ini.
Perhaps you should add that to the Readme File for the next release

OK i did not know that, thx for the help

Those server packages in the .ini are not really a necessity...

In fact, if it all were in "mylevel" there's be no need for anything extra... just the .rom file.

Yep, what mike said.

 

[EscAz]

Yep but, the thing his :

On the same server, some people don't have the zombie bugs, some others have it. It might be something with the textures Old and new Version

 

[GS_Schimpf]

From my experience having those packages in the ini file fixes the zombies for all players. But this is rather a workaround, imho. Having all stuff in myLevel is the smartest and most comfortable way.
I hope you do this for the final release

 

[EscAz]

Ok I have many things already in my level, but how could i put those packages in there. Duplicate the texture ? or more ?

 

[worluk]

Yep, what mike said.

.u files in the myLevel? I think thats beyond most mappers (no offense)

for those that are interested though

 

[EscAz]

that's beyond me for sure

 

[GS_Schimpf]

Looks like a time consuming job! But it seems worth the hassle

I know mappers aren't programmers, but you can't tell me a mapper can't type:

obj load file=whatever.u package=MyLevel

into a window and pressing enter

Seriously, mappers should try to do this because all of these files are really messy and having server admins ad lines to thier ini file is a bit too much.

Oh, I also really dig the map, so keep up the good work

After my helicopter pilot exam, i promise i'll look at it, but now i have most important things to learn

Good Luck on your exam... I just know you'll "ACE" it and come away overjoyed.
