So creating a second package for each map with tweaked ddb without the purchase temps (c&c_seasidecanyon.ddb for example) in it, and include that package in the map_definition in tt.cfg, it works on the clients but strangely the server does not load the tweaked ddb. So the pt's show up as stock on the clients but on the server when they actually buy something it gives them whatever is usually in that slot on that map. The server is not loading the ddb in the package at all even though it should. It seems that only clients load it. This doesn't just apply to purchase settings but any changes made to the ddb at all.

I have not see this issue, on my bear hunter and Canadacdn's ColonyZ416 map both seem to have their distinct PT's loading correctly (one uses objects.ddb the other uses temps).
Make sure to save the map before you export otherwise the PT's won't be updated in the map's ddb file.
|
The issue isn't in the map. I made a secondary package with an overriding mapname_map.ddb to override the maps original ddb. Clients load this ddb properly. The server however does not.
SeasideCanyon:
{
mapName = "C&C_SeasideCanyon";
packages = ["seasidecanyon_stock","C&C_SeasideCanyon","dblaney_content1"];
};
The seasidecanyon_stock package has a file in called it c&c_seasideCanyon.ddb. Because package is the furthest to the left it has the highest priority so that ddb overrides the one with the exact same name in the C&C_SeasideCanyon package. Clients handle this correctly. They see the correct pt's and everything else in the ddb. The server however does not.

Bug has been noted and will be investigated.
In order to help with the debugging, I would need to see the contents of the 3 packages in question so I can load them on my own test FDS and debug exactly where it loads the different files (including the ddb file) from.

Ok, I will get the files together and contact you soon. Thanks.
Also on certain maps like C&C_Seige in the tunnels the aiming gets all screwy. It jumps around like crazy. It effects a decent amount of maps at some point or another.

Would it be possible to make the MP loadscreen last a bit longer..(even better have an option to revert back to stock loading?) Mainly because I'd like to have display map info/etc on it... Right now it barely stays for a few seconds
|
As far as I'm aware the current code *is* the stock loading code (or, rather, is equivalent to it). The reason it is faster than it used to be in 1.037 is because computers in general are faster and the loading steps can be executed more quickly.

No the loadscreen in Renegade takes almost zero time to actually do its work, its the actual loading that takes the time.

I'm aware of fast loading times, faster code compiling etc..
lol I don't want the loadscreen to disappear completely!
I was simply asking about the possibility of having the loadscreen stay longer... As it would be quite useful to have and display info
Still haven't got the answer I was looking for..

I just tested with the latest WIP code and I am unable to reproduce the issue dblaney1 is having with seasidecanyon.
Calling it "fixed" until I get evidence otherwise.

I suspect some of the changes made in 4.2 to make stuff that worked in pkg files work in ttfs files may have fixed this issue as well.
However to test the issue on this map the easiest way is to buy a medium tank. If its the stock medium tank the its working as it should. If its the medium tank with the rails around the turret then its not working. On my machine it would give you the ones with the rails. The purchase terminal shows up correctly on the clients but the server is still using the one from the map.
Another test would be to buy the mlrs and see if it gives you the one with the rotatable turret or the stock one. I think on that map nod only has a recon bike as well in the APC slot so if you try to buy the APC with my package it would give you a recon bike instead.

Few stock things I've fixed:
The bug where clients sometimes aren't notified that a player has left the game.
FDS will no longer quit when it loses connection to XWIS.

When you use the download function of packageeditor, it doesn't download the package tpi itself. You have manually do it. It would make much more sense if it downloaded it automatically so that clients can download the map properly without having to manually put the tpi file in place.
A feature request that would be useful would be a command in packageeditor to convert a package back to a mix file.
