LAN problems - "You need these blocks: Podium (in storm)"

[Xymph]

Thanks it's TM2 but it works for SM right?

The ManiaPlanet dedicated server works for all ManiaPlanet titles, of course.

The default maps and matchsettings for Elite and Royal are included in the dedicated.pak, so they are not visible directly.

They are absolutely not in dedicated.pak but respectivily in Elite.Title.Pack.Gbx and Royal.Title.Pack.Gbx. Anyway it's right that title packs content can't be seen directly.

Right, in UserData\Packs

I have the exact same problem.
I downloaded Mania Planet here : http://static.maniaplanet.com/setups/Ma ... mSetup.exe
I used my paid account to update the whole thing.

When connecting with my paid account:
I can create rooms in local play and join rooms / dedicated servers in local play.

When staying offline with a profile not linked to any profile:
I have the following error when doing any of the above:
"The match was interrupted
Could not load map!
Missing Blocks or Items:
- Podium (in Storm)"

P.S. : I need to get able to play on LAN because I'm planning a LAN party where we want to play some ShootMania and only 3 people out of 8 have bought the game.

Thanks for your time, VengeurK.

Just an update, I also get the error when using the older version(s) of SM and Dedicated Server.

What I am currently trying to achieve is to change the linked account of a profile. Because I think that when the game is updated from a paid profile, the Storm update kinda only applies to this profile but you can't connect two profiles linked to the same account on a single LAN server. If I can change the linked account maybe I'll be able to have the storm update on a profile linked to a non-paid account.

I tried a fresh install with no online users, just an offline one, but still no dice.

For you local LAN, you might want to try to create an own local dedicated server.

I'm at a lan right now and all the players who use offline accounts because they didn't buy the game are getting the podium block error when they try to join the game. This happens with a dedicated server on the network too.

[TMarc]

too bad, thanks for the information. I've retransmitted to Nadeo, let's now wait for an answer.

Yeah it really sucks, we're at a lan right now so we hope this can be fixed in a few hours so we can play. We're currently playing Age Of Empires 2 in the meantime.
