Obstacle Game Mode

[steeffeen]

hi, hello,

How can i parameter a server into obstacle mode?
i got verygames server.

thanks for help cause i dont understand how it works..

you will have to put the file Obstacle.Script.txt onto your server (via ftp) and edit the launch settings of the server to use it, i don't know hot it's handled on a verygames server, sorry

[steeffeen]

with the most recent update many Obstacle maps have been invalidated!
i would like to ask every map maker to check their maps if they have a plain goal (without pole) as finish, these maps will have to be validated again (simply tagging the finish goal again is enough)
download the map type script again for that reason please

server owners should update their game mode script as well as i had to make an update of the script with a very ugly work-around for the goal-bug (at least the maps work with the new script)

regards

Hey Steeffeen

Nice Gametype really enjoy playing it, I have been having difficulty getting it to work with my map I get an error messege saying unable to validate after setting up the spawns and so on. Not sure whats gone wrong with it.

I set it up like this- Start spawn is named spawn and the number is set to 0. The final cp is a pole and has default name and number. all cps inbetween are set to Checkpoint with a order number and Cp spawns are near thier cps with CPSpawn as name and a number than matchs the checkpoint next to it. (hope that wasnt confusing)

I think the gametypes installed in the right folder as shown on your info. (when i downloaded the script it sent me to a webpage with the coding and i copy and pasted the code into a .txt file and named it the same as shown in your info).... is this the right way to have downloaded?

would be nice to get it working so i can make some more maps .

haha i'm slightly confused but I THINK it's correct

the easiest way to save the script files is pressing Ctrl+S ("Save as...") as soon as you see the text in your web browser
did you select the maptype inside the editor? (top-left)
the screenshot would be helpful for sorting this out

I think the maptype is selected properly. all the checkpoints/spawns get a greenbox round them when you click on the top left box when you enter the mode to change the cp settings.

Heres a screenie of the messege http://www.mediafire.com/view/?rgrfii7k3k01q8x

Would reinstalling/downloading like this make any difference perhaps?

Thanks for replying.

how does the window look when you try to edit the properties of a specific block? ^^

i don't think so, saving with the help of Ctrl+S just avoids naming and encoding issues, but these shouldn't be the problem here

umm this is the screen to edit the spawn point of cp1.

exactly what i expected
the map type isn't selected properly

could you please:
- click on the text at the top-left
- select "pick from file" - http://www.pictures.esc-clan.net/upload/1pick.jpg
- choose the script file - http://www.pictures.esc-clan.net/upload/2pick.jpg
- confirm the dialog

now the edit dialog should look like that - http://www.pictures.esc-clan.net/upload/3edit.jpg

Im not getting the window on the last screenshot you show after selecting the game mode from file. Is there some rule where you need to select the mode before placing any spawn/cp/goal else it breaks?

I still get the window in the last screenie i showed you.

that's weird
you can switch between the map type at any time, this shouldn't be the problem

do you see a black screen or some code after pressing F12 inside the editor? (press escape to leave this screen)

maybe try to redownload the script file, also make sure to place it in the exact folder written on this page
