Multiplayer issues

So I'm trying to play online with some friends on my mod, but it will not allow it. The map Blood Gulch shows up twice in the multiplayer list, and both are selected when I click on one. My new era doesn't show up, or the game mode. It just displays the basic ones. I also can't find the added era on polis masa. I have no idea about online things, so what needs to be done?

If you can't see it on the map list, it's most likely your addme that's causing problems. Post that please.

The map is on the list, just not the modes and eras.

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]--Search through the missionlist to find a map that matches mapName,

--then insert the new flags into said entry.

--Use this when you know the map already exists, but this content patch is just

--adding new gamemodes (otherwise you should just add whole new entries to the missionlist)

-- recursively merges the second given table into the first given table

function MergeTables( mission, newFlags )

	--for each table entry,

	local array = type({})

	for key,value in pairs(newFlags) do      

		--check for nested tables

		if type(value) == array then

			--mission must have this key as a table too

			if type(mission[key]) ~= array then

				mission[key] = {}

			end

			--merge these two tables recursively

			MergeTables(mission[key], value)

		else

			--the key is a simple variable, so simply store it

			mission[key] = value

		end

	end

end

--Search through the missionlist to find a map that matches mapName,

--then insert the new flags into said entry.

--Use this when you know the map already exists, but this content patch is just

--adding new gamemodes (otherwise you should just add whole new entries to the missionlist)

function AddNewGameModes(missionList, mapName, newFlags)

	for i, mission in missionList do

		if mission.mapluafile == mapName then

			MergeTables(mission, newFlags)

		end

	end

end

--insert totally new maps here:

local sp_n = 0

local mp_n = 0

sp_n = table.getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1] = { red = 0, blue = 149, green = 110,

	mode_con = {name="Domination", about = "Capture all of the enemy's landing zones to achieve total domination"} 

},

}

mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)

mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]

		era_h = { name="Halo Wars", icon2="halo_wars" },

		mode_ctf = {name="Capture the Flag", about = "Capture the enemy's flag while trying to defend your own!"} 

},

}	

)

It shows up twice in MP because you have these lines twice:

Code: Select all

mp_n = table.getn(mp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
mp_missionselect_listbox_contents[mp_n+1] = sp_missionselect_listbox_contents[sp_n+1]

That code 'copies' the map entry in SP to MP. You copy it twice so it shows up twice.

Both of your AddNewGameModes calls add the game mode to sp_missionselect_listbox_contents, which is the singleplayer list. Perhaps you meant to use mp_missionselect_listbox_contents for one of them?

*SP = singleplayer
MP = multiplayer
