Uploading new maps

[[DRuG]NikT]

OK, I've added all the maps uploaded to the ftp to the new 1.2 server, still under development... there were a few errors in the meta.xml files where the mapper had maybe since renamed the .map files to remove spaces, but didn't update the meta.. all fixed now.

I am still having to correct some of the meta.xml files - people are setting ghost mode to false... it must be set to true unless the map is a derby. Unless I thoroughly research each map while I process it, I may be accidentally making derbies ghost mode, but I would prefer this than a badly configured race.. I note splashdown was a derby, and left ghost off for that one... any others, let me know.

Gametaff -- this is the third time I've had to correct these errors in your maps ... next time they won't be put on the server until you correct them... this took me half an hour of fiddling.

Samo -- your map needed ghost set to true in meta.xml - please do this yourself in future.

meta.xml:
must have map name that matches your map name - if you removed spaces, they mustn't be in the meta either.

Code: Select all

<map src="TheStreetWay.map" dimension="0"></map>

must set ghost to true

Code: Select all

<setting name="#ghostmode" value='[ &quot;true&quot; ]'></setting>

Please guys...I know map making is a lot of work - so is running a clan & server.. please, don't make it harder than it has to be. If you worry about delays on maps going live... this is one of the reasons - debugging people's work.

just one little request from me Nikt. I accidentally set wrong gamemode on "Splash Time!" and now its unplayable on the server. sorry dude, it's my first DD can you change that, please`?

[[DRuG]NikT]

You probably set it to no ghost, but didnt include the word derby in the title, so I edited it.

I'll fix it asap.

No worries GT, not a big thing, that's why I posted in public (sorry for this, but like I said, no big thing), just important that everyone knows what problems to avoid of it's going to take longer for me to publish maps - especially if the volume increases.

Thanks again for your contributions.

Gametaff and others,
Just was checking out your meta files, and why the ghostmode is set to false is because you don't save the maps
without caps or spaces or other symbols. Save your map without those and the ghostmode will be saved.

[Eazy-E]

how? niggastolemybike instead of race-niggastolemybike ??

[[DRuG]Stijger]

Hey Eazy, no that kind of symbols are aright, your maps were okay, i think no caps and no spaces is the important part i think

[Eazy-E]

but, if i set Ghostmode as TRUE, and i test the map, when it finish the test, ghostmode set FALSE

so i set GM TRUE, save, and then test, in this way, ghostmode stays in true
