I'm pretty certain that these two file names are mixed up: the '("mp_prairie", "Prairie"),' parts should go in module_strings.py, just above the '("multi_scene_end", "multi_scene_end"),' line; and the '(troop_set_slot, ...' part should go in module_scripts.py, in the relevant sections of the "multiplayer_fill_map_game_types" script.Turanien said:

The rush and excitement of revealing this two nights ago clearly mixed things up for me. I sincerely hope that this hasn't troubled anyone on part of my typing error. I would also like to point out that it is critical in the module_strings that you increment the multi_data_maps_for_game_type_being + 7 number for every entry in that specific game mode. You also need to increment the final number that sits at the bottom of each game-mode entry.

Talesworld should really name the dam lists of every script.
This way you would never have to increase counter every everywhere in script and scripts and scripts.
instead of +7, you would do + LEN(listA) and then you would just have to add anything you want in listA without bothering with crazy counters...

Or they could thoroughly document their operations, scripts, and other code. I have no idea how they get the game to work without more comments. Maybe they remove them when they release the Module System to make our lives harder.
What do you mean by increment the number +7? You've confused me a bit haha.Turanien said:Vornne said:
Huh? I don't think they are. It works fine enough? The examples that I've given are just a small selection. They are placed correctly in the module system.

Well I understand that, but I was wondering why he had said 7 for every entry in that gamemode.MadocComadrin said:

I didn't. It was just an example. Simply increment it inline with everything else.
That's what I had done, as that was how I assumed it work. I just saw that and was probably too tired or something. ANYWAYS, we tested my custom maps on our rented server today and it worked GREAT! I'm quite pleased that we were able to find this out with only minimal help.Turanien said:guilemaster said:

Great! There is one problem that I've encountered... When a map is polled by an admin (to a new map), the map name appears as something else for the regular public if they don't have the admin module. It's not a terrible bug but it is rather annoying.
Edit: Can you guys absolutely confirm that this is working properly for you? We have a problem with the Einherjar server now where everyone (or seemingly some) are being forced to redownload maps that are already in the module file (1866)... Hopefully this afternoon we can upload a clean module system since, on this current one, I actually placed the new map in-between two existing maps rather than at the bottom of the list. I also think it's important to keep map-polls disabled...

We may or may not have had that problem earlier, as it appeared that I had to re-download two maps; however, it seems to be running without a hitch now. That out-of-order map might be causing the problem. Were there other new maps at the end of the list?

No. It was just the one map that we're trying this with and it was this map that I placed in between two existing maps.

The maps being redownloaded do seem to be the ones referenced after my original modification. So that we may all learn from this, I'll post an example of the original code and then my new one (which hopefully will be updated this afternoon). The new map will be emboldened.

As you can see. Although my code is correct, the order of inserting the new scene seems to be important. As it stands right now, some users are having to download maps that they already have, although these seem to be restricted to those maps after the new one. I suspect this is due to the number that is assigned to each map, since, in effect, it is different here than in the original module.
Tested and confirmed.Turanien said:
I believe this is also the reason that they have numbered all of their maps and put them in numerical order. ANYWAYS, I was able to add new things at the end, and since it changes the map selection in-game from a drop down box to clickable arrows, I think it's also safe to say you can have as many or as few as you want in there.
Okay, I'm kinda confused. I think I've done everything right. I've altered my scripts, scenes and strings. I've got the map in my SceneObj folder. When I host a game, everything runs perfectly, when I try to upload it to the server (Nditions Duel) the server breaks. I think I've put everything here. Also, if it's important, the map is edited from Ruins. I'd really appreciate any help on this.

Something i noticed in your codes is that your custom map is RIGHT after the regular ruins. That gave me problems earlier on. Try moving it to the bottom of the maps listing in the codes. So instead of frostys_ruins after the normal ruins, put it after all the random_maps. It also needs to be in the same order in ALL of your modifications.

This.
I had major problems when I tried to introduce a custom map part way through the list. Instead, place it at the bottom of the map list. This way, the map does not destroy any continuation of the scene numbers and allocations. Remember that your clients do not have this updated version so their map list must stay intact as in Native.
On this same note, how far can you change it and keep it Native-compatible? I've been sitting on this for quite some time. Currently it only sends the .sco and the terrain code to other players, right? So things like textures are definitely not going to transfer over. But what kind of stuff does the server feed to players constantly? It might be fun to play around with that stuff.Turanien said:
