I really dont know why armagetron doesnt let me test maps... its really pissing me off, so i wanna ask u to see if you can find out - and this time i will have all the evidence

EVIDNECE ONE

the header-bit (resource) for a map i want to test - its filename is


it is located in


and the resource is


EVIDENCE TWO

the settings that i put to play that map - however this is just the first bit cos i think the rest is inconsequencial



EVIDENCE THREE

this is what happens when i try to play a local game on armagetron advanced with these settings intact



if u dont know then im not too bothered but it really is frustrating

moved to the correct subforum, now, ed?

You have to modify the resource directory of your server. atm it is http://resource.armagetronad.net or something like this. You have to change it to your local resource path.

ph, pta is right, i didn't look any of u write, , here are the errors:



ur map folder: resource/included/Syllabear/fortress

it means ur maps are looked at http://resource.armagetronad.net/resource/included/Syllabear/fortress not at ur computer...

i suggest change http://resource.armagetronad.net/resource/ for ur ip, but remember the resources folder has to be into a web server in a public folder called resource...., then something like http://60.60.60.60/resource/

that's all

You don't need to modify the RESOURCE_REPOSITORY_SERVER, it will check your local repository before it looks on the net. Your setup is the same as mine.

Your problem is simple:





It's spot the difference time.

ok, the caché right, but then the maps has to be in a folder into automatic subfolder (caché one)

no i dont think that is the problem ed, but i wil, check it out

but as for the other stuff pta: i dont really use the internet on that computer (home) so i dont get it - does my computer look for the file online or does it look for it on my computer? if it looks for it on the internet then why does it do that?

it looks for the file on your computer. You have it in the right place.

According to your post you're telling tron the version is 0.1.1 but in reallity it's 0.0.1. That WILL, without a doubt, stop it from working.

If that is not the case and they have the same name, please state this.

could you post the resource again if you have troble your file needs the .xml on the end of it

but make sure all your resorceses caps and lowercase are correct

if you post it this time dissable HTML

i know i know what disabling html is but i cant remeber at this time...

i tried chaging it like u said ed, and it shortened the message that happens in aa, but there is still a messege that says it cannot find the file make sure the path is spelt correctly - ill post tommoro or tonight

so annoying cos i can play the other maps like z-mans sumo, and there is no difference except the license - do u need it? i dont have one so if it makes a difference :embarresed:

The licence makes no difference.
You need to be strict with filenames. I'm willing to bet that's your problem

let's say your map had line:



Then this map would have to be called



and would need to be in syllabear/fortress/ directory

and in your settings.cfg you would need the line



If any of this is not exact, it will fail and the map wont load.

What about setting the first map file back to default
an adding yours in later
so it is


your resources should be





your filename shouold be



Your file should be located(saved) in this path
my spelling in this may be a bit off i'm not using windows XP right now so i couldent just copy and past(one more thing i hate about vista right now)
