My maps can't be played online

I open this post because I am so frustrated with my new maps because I can't play them online.


After update 14th August my new tracks can't be played online.


I add them with xaseco's command from MX, and the server add it correctly, or looks like.


But when its time to play the current maps done after 14th August the server does auto-skip doing this new maps impossible to play.


I don't know if this is just my problem or if other people have it. I have windows XP, I don't know if it can be the problem.


I hope you can help me because if my maps can't be played online I will stop mapping.

Do you maybe build the maps outside of the mapping area or are they bigger than 1mb?

NO, its standard editor map (without tm2 unlimited or similar)... size gbx files around 500/600kb.
I think my save phase put something wrong on .gbx file, because after first save, i have try send my map at other player: also if he modify something on track, re-validation y calculation shadows and save.... map still dont playable online (offline working very good).

possible the server also needs an update?
Did you try other servers?
Or something else is wrong. I remember a similar issue a while ago, but I can't find the post at the moment.

Can you maybe post the MX code so I can try it on my server tonight (which is the latest beta).

Yes... mx id 23822 (route88) and mx id 23845 (gigio).
These 2 tracks make after 14 august have the problem.

I just try Route 88, and I could observe that some music has to be downloaded? What is this!?
Perhaps this is blocked by the server?

Aditional thoughts:
1. is this music really free for public use? You should never include music and by this force download and potentially create legal issues, unless it is really created by yourself!
2. why don't you let the servers chose the music?

nice and short map, btw. :thumbsup:

Do you get the same error as this when looking at your logs ?

[2012/08/20 18:41:34] ...ERROR: Load failed:
You need these Blocks:
- Cliff12RoadMedObstaclesRocks3x1B (in Canyon)

Think you need to get the latest server software if so.

Edit .. tried latest .. still not working... that is one phantom block you have there :lol:
