Online Compatability

Cleb · Post by **Cleb** » Sat Oct 27, 2012 11:35 am

So I was just testing my map online but it crashed when it loaded. I searched for "online compatable" but turned up nothing useful. How can I make my map online compatable? Or is it... impossible?

It would help if you spelled compatible correctly.

A custom map utilizing at least the stock game modes (aside from campaign) should have no problem working online by default, so you did something to cause the incompatibility.

My map only uses conquest at the moment, and I can't think of anything that would make it uncompatible or anything...

So your Map works in SP but not in MP?
Have you added custom sides?

1. Yes
2. Yes

Though after it crashes, if I reopen battlefront my server is still there and where it says who's in the server it says my name as if I'm actually still playing online.

Try a clean/manual clean and then remunge your map but without the sides and try to play it online again. I expect this to work and then you can be sure that it are the sides.

Next step would be to add one unit after another to your side and see when it starts crashing. (Except you are using the disguise kit which is known to break online stability.)

Wait just had a thought... Maybe the fact that I have ubermode enabled and both sides have way more than 20 people be the problem?

Turn on AutoBalancing. This will work for Conquest/Assault/CTF games. Not campaign. Basically if the score gets too far in one teams favor (+/- 40 conquest, 60 assault, 1 ctf) it will make the loosing team better and the winning team worse until things get back to close again.

Turn off AutoBalancing. It is on by default so you should use this for your campaign mode scripts.

So basically don't disable it unless you really know what you're doing in terms of pure-balancing A.I.

I'm pretty sure SetUberMode(1); isn't a real function, but I'm not positive. Here's what Geonosis' XL mode states:

should be

			PauseAnimation("fly1");
			RewindAnimation("fly1");
			PlayAnimation("fly1");
			EntityFlyerTakeOff("rep_fly_gunshipbf1propshoot")

	end

and you might wanna put it in between ScriptPostLoad() and ScriptInit(). Again, I'm not sure, but it's worth trying. Also, is this supposed to be a math.random function or what? Because if so, then you're gonna have to wrap it with

Code: Select all

if not ScriptCB_InMultiplayer() then
[insert "laanim" if...then statement]
else
[leave this empty or put one of the "laanim" decisions here without the if/elseif then bit]
end

Actually I didn't put "help requested on explaining this." Back when I started the map I wanted to do something, I can't recall what it was but I found it in some lost tutorial somewhere deep within Gametoast and I saw fit to put this in there. But now that I've been reminded about it, I will take it away because I don't want it anymore.

It is a function; I used it and it works fine.

      RewindAnimation("fly3");
      PlayAnimation("fly3");
      EntityFlyerTakeOff("rep_fly_gunshipbf1propshoot2")
      laanim = 3

   if laanim == 4 then
      PauseAnimation("bombard");
      RewindAnimation("bombard");
      PlayAnimation("bombard");
      EntityFlyerTakeOff("rep_fly_gunshipbombardment")
      laanim = 4
   
            end
      
         end
      
      end
      
   end
      
end

should be

Code: Select all

function la_anim()
		if laanim == 1 then
			PauseAnimation("fly1");
			RewindAnimation("fly1");
			PlayAnimation("fly1");
			EntityFlyerTakeOff("rep_fly_gunshipbf1propshoot")
			laanim = 1
		elseif laanim == 2 then
			PauseAnimation("fly2");
			RewindAnimation("fly2");
			PlayAnimation("fly2");
			EntityFlyerTakeOff("rep_fly_gunshipbf1propshoot1")
			laanim = 2
		elseif laanim == 3 then
			PauseAnimation("fly3");
			RewindAnimation("fly3");
			PlayAnimation("fly3");
			EntityFlyerTakeOff("rep_fly_gunshipbf1propshoot2")
			laanim = 3
		elseif laanim == 4 then
			PauseAnimation("bombard");
			RewindAnimation("bombard");
			PlayAnimation("bombard");
			EntityFlyerTakeOff("rep_fly_gunshipbombardment")
			laanim = 4
		end
	end

and you might wanna put it in between ScriptPostLoad() and ScriptInit(). Again, I'm not sure, but it's worth trying.

Actually that part is found in the Mygeeto, Utapau, and Kamino campaign scripts. I changed it just a bit (before it was like this):

if laanim == 4 then
PauseAnimation("bombard");
RewindAnimation("bombard");
PlayAnimation("bombard");
EntityFlyerTakeOff("rep_fly_gunshipbombardment")
laanim = 5

I changed it just a little bit so that it is the same thing every time and again (so therefore it is not random), it works fine, but its very picky to me, like if I move the prop/flyer/building that its connected to or change the animation, it doesn't work and I haven't figured out why yet.

I seriously think it might be the absurd number of people on the map at one time so I will change it back to 16 per team and see if it works.

Ah, alright then. Very odd how it's not working online then... Hmm... Do any of your custom units use...unique weapons? Like weapons that aren't very standard, i.e., anything not a standard rifle, pistol, etc.?

Yes, they use custom weapons but those weapons all use stock effects, models, textures, etc.
EDIT:
The number of units isnt the problem, just changed both to 16 and it didnt work.

Next step would be to add one unit after another to your side and see when it starts crashing. (Except you are using the disguise kit which is known to break online stability.)

Have you tried that?
