Here, I'm going to attempt to pinpoint the problem.

It maybe related to latency or something, so tell me what the errors and the circumstances that cause custom maps being unable to be played please.

Go nuts.

Uh, should I move this to bug reports? It'll reduce threads about this.

[NAGN]

I remember there being an error message from a sepreate event, if I'm not mistaken

sure sure

[Teekytots [PC][OG]]

kk 

[NAGN]

Yeah we have a fix for it, thanks to L.

However, the problem is clientside, so us hosters can't do much about it. 

So what was the issue?

[NAGN]

And that's also what causes the incompatible server protocall or whatever error message?

The game doesn't load the map after it downloads it.

When you go to a custom map, the game checks if you have the map; if you do than you simply load it, if you don't you download it... but then it doesn't load it afterwards

hmmmmm...

it does bring you to the custom map, you see at the bottom?

 //now we have the map check if its the same as the servers map
  if(CustomMapGetMapMD5(global.currentMap) == global.currentMapMD5) {
  room_goto_fix(CustomMapRoom);
  exit;
  }else{
  // our map isn't the same, locator points to diffrent map
  show_message("The server's locator for " +global.currentMap+ " points to a different map");
game_end();
exit;
}
}

so I doubt that's it....?

[NAGN]

If you copied that from psycho's post, I'm pretty sure he was posting the fix.

If not, I don't see that anywhere in the CustomMapDownload script.

Oh I did

Oh don't worry, I copied it from a pm that L sent me after I requested the script so I could fix it

[Silent Boom]

So what now?

[L]

Its been fixed just wait till next update

[Silent Boom]

Its been fixed just wait till next update

 

[Dusty]
