Firstly, big thank you for making such a tool! I can't thank you enough

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to import maps. I am running on Windows 7 with the executable on my desktop, when i click on import maps and browse to the folder that contains the maps, click okay, nothing happens... no error messages, no tracks in the list.

Is this something you could test/fix? Again, thank you for your time!

Does not work for me.

Last 2 lines during boot server :

Loading map A01.Map.GBX < nr ................. >
...Load succeeds


Then the server does nothing.
After a short time it disconnect. ( lets say a min )

I noticed youre script put mode ( timeattack ) in matchsettings.
The original matchsettings has mode 2 ( tried to change , but does not help )

Hope you can help me out .


Map thing work for me , btw

What kind of maps U use ? It does not find old maps from tmuf.




Thanks

Hey, yes the tracks are okay for TM2, they have had the shadows computed etc... The issue was that the program only picks up on .map.gbx files

Can you make it so it only needs the .gbx extension?

Also, can the program collect the ident details of each map? I know its not important to run the server but if we can work that into the early version of this program it would be good...

Current:

Code: Select all

<map>
	<file>Reflex_0001.Map.Gbx</file>
</map>

Desired:

Code: Select all

<map>
	<file>Reflex_0001.Map.Gbx</file>
	<ident>######################</ident>
</map>

[hackie]

So you got it working ?

What do I wrong then , server just won't start.

[spr1nter]

Able to paste your generated code or link us to it on paste bin? See if we can find any issue?

maps work.


Maybe You know also this , server only 50 K ladder.
But server acc=60K

There are no option in dedicated config file to change to 60 K
In TMNF server there was a function in dedicated cofig file to change LP.

You have to add those limits in your dedicated_cfg.txt file yourself.
Add the following between the <server_options> tags:

Code: Select all

<ladder_serverlimit_min>0</ladder_serverlimit_min>
<ladder_serverlimit_max>60000</ladder_serverlimit_max>

Thanks M. works fine


btw, anyone knows why my matchsettings are failing ? see post above.

[reaby]

it is (linux or window problem, depends on which system you run) with the directory separator

in linux you have to use like maps/downloaded.gbx
in windows the same goes maps\downloaded\map.gbx

So, i will do a checkbox for which system it is for and also add ladder server support for next version...
i tried to calculate the Ident with many hashing methods, but it doesn't use any of known hash method to calculate the ident, so the idents will be added next time you save the config in-game using dedicate method saveMatchSettings.

if i do next version then there will be load from existing xml file..

update maybe in few hours...
