[ButchCassidy]

Cheers guys

I will endeavour to get them uploaded in the next few days.
If we can test them and all is ok then other admins will be good to go for the patch release..Fingers crossed..

sorry meant to say compatible. but ya it's almost here, before you know it, you'll be playing on full server with real humans, not some stupid bots

My bots aren't stupid, and they'll beat your bots anyday............lol

I lent my Axis Bots from the Flaktower level from Medal of Honor Allied Assault. They are well trained elite soldiers. My Russian Bots are all clones of Jude Law. They shoot to kill.....

Drecks do you know if your cover nodes etc are working? Have TW tested it on the new build?

I have no precise answer. I do think it work on their end.
It's still no guarantee it will work everywhere. Let us pray.

The most recent SDK that we've tested against Coldsteel did not result in any sort of cover issues. We are cautiously, optimistically, saying that the problem has been rectified.

Do Mappers need to re-cook with this latest SDK in order to be compatible with the new mega patch?

Yeah they do.

There are a number of things that have to be updated in the maps in order for them to work with the update. Recooking is just one.

Are there plans to release a change log for the SDK?

I know they fixed the shader cache issue as it works fine in the beta

It is in the tea leaves that there will be a change list of the updates to the SDK.

I have made an initial post of changes to the SDK. I will be posting more information about the updated SDK in the coming days.

Swag,
Could it be possible that there are "arguements" between the new opt-in beta and the current SDK which cause the SDK to crash? I ask this because last night after downloading RC-4 my SDK quit working and crashes at the splash screen every time now, even after deleting my config. file.

Yes, opting in to the beta will in fact break the SDK. We are working on getting a updated SDK out as soon as we can get it vetted. I don't expect it to be a week or anything like that...

So no custom maps for the free weekend?

Nope, that is not the case. The authors of the custom maps can recook their map, get it up to a redirector and server admin, then it will be playable. We will be vetting the SDK tomorrow and updating accordingly.

In the mean time, if LDs opt into the RO2 SDK beta then they will get hold of a working SDK with a couple minor inconveniences which is more than capable cooking and publishing maps.

Will give it a try with Coldsteel_beta_6 this afternoon.
First a little nap after a nightshift.

I've recooked your map and it appeared to be working as intended. It behaved a little weird in that I had to manually load all your asset packages prior to opening the map but outside of that it cooked fine. More importantly, I was not able to recreate the cover glitching issue as noted before. You may want to consider putting the spawn protection back in.

A note on spawn protection: Do NOT reuse player start volumes between teams, and do NOT reuse spawn protection volumes between player start volumes.

I would almost ask to upload it and spread some links

Again a reminder to all Mappers..
If you wish to get your maps into the freeweeked and onto a server via a redirected download, then get cooking as soon as the SDK becomes available..Remember beta2 or higher please..

There are now many thousands of players enjoying the game.
The timing is perfect for getting your map tested and heading towards a final version..
