Cannot execute \gang garrison 2.exe
« on: November 04, 2009, 12:47:30 am »

When I try to test my map, an error comes up saying this:

"Cannot execute "\Gang Garrison 2.exe""

I have GGbuilder.exe in my gang garrison  folder, so I don't know what's wrong :/

You can't test your map in garrison builder. You have to play it on the actual GG2. move your map into the maps folder(if you haven't already) and make a custom map rotation of maps you want to put in. wait, does the new GG2 allow you to pick maps when you're preparing to host?

read this post about minors without looking at the last page first, and I thought you were encouraging rodo to hunt for young women.

No

Kay. then make a new text document, put it in GG2 folder, and put in the map's name there. Then, go into GG2 settings, where it says "map rotation=" put the name of the text documnet in, and put .txt at the end.

Now then, did it work?

Did you set the directory to gg2 by hitting f3 in GB?

Here. From the source.


List the maps you would like to play through, one on each line.
For built-in maps, the names are identical to the ones used in the Maps section of the ini file.
For external maps, the name should be the filename of the map, excluding the .png file extension.

Maps may be repeated.  Although it doesn't make sense to play the same map twice in a row, you could play some maps more often than others.

If you want to use this map rotation in your server, open gg2.ini and
change the line that says
   MapRotation=
to say
  MapRotation=sampleMapRotation.txt

Happy hosting!

So just add the names to the sampleMapRotation.txt file (in the list of maps). Then make sure to have made the map in Garrison Builder, then save the data in a .png (there is a button for that). Then create a .txt file with the name on the map .png (without the .png)

Example:
In GG2.ini
MapRotation=sampleMapRotation

In Maps Folder:
[Let's say it's] ctf_Beast.png (with the embeded info from GB)
A .locator file with the name

More Coming soon 1 sec.

When testing a map through GG2 you do not need a locator thats just for hosting so that other clients know where to get the map,


Or alternatively you can just set the directory to GG2 in GB to avoid all the map moving. When doing that make sure the client that you direct GB to is named Gang Garrison 2 or you will get the "Cannot execute "\Gang Garrison 2.exe"" error.

True, I have not tried redirecting it. I just add to the maps so I know what maps I have. And so others can play on them and get them too.

Host is such a no skill class. That's like saying you're negating a Pyro's skill.

Hosting use to be a tad more difficul than "click and it's in"

Nevertheless, it's not a bad thing. It's in fact, a very good thing.

At least you could go back to the old way if you have to. It's still a nice thing to have for new players.
