I will check it out POTS. Give me an hour or two. I still have to give the kids a bath put them down as well as take a shower then test to see what the problem is. "EverSmoke" is a commonly used file that usually presents server admins with major filemismatch errors. I know how to get around it and will. I just need to see the exact spelling of the file in the error. Thanks!

[Hermskii]

Hello FuzzBall. You have been quiet of late. Stop it! You need to have an outlet for your server. Let that be here for now and as time passes I will open up your own forum here too if you don't already have one somewhere. Let me know.

POTS, I have identified the error which you already had perfectly so I guess I just confirmed it but I fixed it too so it is no longer an issue. I hate to think how many other maps it was not letting play. I hate that! Well, it's fixed so it is good to go. I'll add the Mario brother map based on what Fuzz said about it. Why not you know? He said it was fun. I had typed plenty earlier but deleted it based on I realized I was wrong in what I had said. I WAS AGAINST a map too modern but it hit me that there are plenty of space age maps with monsters that I like. This can just be what it is which is a concept map.

OK peeps. I'm all good and still ready for more. I dread it but I will put the Gopo signature map on being the village one. I think the server can handle it. at worst I'll be wrong with a crashed server. There have been so many changes to it over the life-time of it that I don't want to put on an old version. That said, I challenge somebody to give me the latest version of it with the best instructions as far as the standard install requirements and I'll get it on. I've dealt with major pain in the butt maps before. I can install anything provided the files are all there. Send it! Good luck! I'm here. I'm ready. Let's Rock!

[Fuzz_Ball]

Thanks Herm.
I've been straining my brain at work and am beat when I get home.
So far, FBF is stable and that's all I'm interested in at the moment
Give me some more time to figure this stuff out and I'll get more active.
Right now I'm just glad to play UT!

[Hermskii]

Hey Fuzz, hang in there mannnn! New stuff is always hard at first but each time you get past an issue, you'll know going forward how to handle it next time or at least it may have something to do with some other issue you encounter. I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying it keeps getting easier. Peace.

Hook, can I send you a copy of what I''d like my welcome window to look like and have you do it? I've been sitting here looking at how to do this and it is all a pain. A real pain. I liked my first welcome window but I just could not center it. I know how to center it now but word put all sorts of source code into it when it saved and now even my original sucks.

Oh yeah!
I love this stuff!
Send it!
This way I can actually help YOU this time!

Do you have this for me Hermskii?
I can probably fix your original.

I got my Server Logo working now - finally! Looks Good too!

I also have a Welcome Window htm file, BUT it doesn't show up!
I am trying to do it the "without the http" way as Cratos instructs but I must be doing something wrong.

[Hermskii]

I'll get a copy of mine sent to you today. I am talking about the welcome window in MapVote BTW.

[Hermskii]

OK, I have installed that MH-Lego-Mario-VS-whatever map is is called. I started playing it and man is that odd. Whatever! OK, that is all for now. Peace. I'll try to get the MH-Village one installed but I'm still waiting on a wee-bit of clarification about how to best install it and how to determine I'm using the latest version. Do I need to contact Gopo?

[*POTS*]

Herm the latest version made by Gopo was:
MH-MHMDeadCityVillage{beta7}

It also requires a mutator to be installed and listed as a Server Package (sendmepackingv5) associated to an INI file which contains the passwords that let the players go in and out the village and their houses.
This version is virtually two maps in one (the village itself and the Dead City Remixed map).

After that HellFire and Supreme made another version named:
MH-MHMVillage{FINAL}

This version doesn't require the sendmepacking mutator and has a slightly better village, but doesn't have the Dead City part.

Personally I don't like them both: they both have errors and bugs, plus the first requires the sendmepacking mutator + passwords which is annoying (especially when players broadcast their passwords by accident and want them to be changed) and the second doesn't have the Dead City part which is boring.

These are the two latest versions available. Pick one and let me know, I'll try to find and upload all required files for the 4th time if you're interested... I also hope your system has 4 GB of RAM installed.

P.S. There's also a DeadCityREMIX map made by Gopo; it's not buggy and it's server-friendly but it doesn't have the village.

OK - I'll be waiting!

[-HellFire-]

How about the Village+DC map?

[Hermskii]

How about it? Keep talking. I have no idea what that is or where to get it or why I should not get it -HellFire-. Please let me know more and send it to me if you have it. I don't want to have several versions of the same map if I can help it. Please note this is not true when it comes to Deck][ maps on CG. There, the more the merrier!

[*POTS*]

Ok Herm, I've just finished to write a detailed, noob-proof ReadMe file and I've zipped all required packages (except for the compressed ones).

Here's the download link:
MH-MHMDeadCityVillage{beta7}

and here a copy of the ReadMe:

Code: Select all

========================
Map Info
========================
Map name: MH-MHMDeadCityVillage{beta7}
Original author: Unknown author
Remix made by Gopostal and Supreme



========================
Installation instruction
========================
Unzip the whole content, then put all files in their respective folders.
The compressed files for redirection are NOT included.

The following server-side changes need to be made:

UnrealTournament.ini
====================

[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerPackages=MHTransBlue		(*)
ServerPackages=sendmepackingv5
ServerPackages=villagemonsters		(*)

(*) Not strictly necessary, but if not enabled the monsters and the custom translocator may NOT work properly.
Test at your own risk.


MapVoteLA.ini
=============
CustomGameConfig[xx]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="MonsterHunt.MonsterHunt",NewPrefix="MH",Mutators="sendmepackingv5.mutsendmepacking",Settings="")



========================
Additional Info
========================
The locationlist.ini file contains the passwords to access the village and the houses.
The default passwords are:

Playernameone=one
Playernametwo=two
Playernamethree=three
Playernamefour=four
Playernamefive=five
Playernamesix=six
Playernameseven=seven
Playernameeight=eight

The passwords can be changed at any time, but you can NOT use spaces.

For example:
Playernameone=mynewpassword



========================
Packaging and ReadMe file made by *POTS*

[Hermskii]

I'll get this on soon. Thanks for the work POTS! It makes it much easier.

OK - I'll be waiting!

I'm still waiting!
* Sounds weird eh? - But I love doing html! *

[Hermskii]

Um? I'm sorry POTS. I'm confused again. So you are telling me there are 3 versions of this DeadCity map? Which one do "YOU" want me to install? You did all the work on suggesting it and giving the info and files I need so I think you should get to choose which one or explain why I need morethan one or all of them for that matter. I'll do my best for you since you are contributing like hell.
