@ Marduk I´m not so fine with the idea to enchain the Giant to the airstrip flagg  there are a few other places where it could land without coming under fire imediatly.

The biggest problem is that the Ju52 only has 7 seats, I don't know what the rest of the team would do then. And the unique feature of this map is the Me 323, it has to be available from the start imo. I have added one Hurricane.

In my opinion, Crete doesn't need any more changes at the moment. But what about the other maps? Let's not forget about Stashuv or Spurning Fate

First I have to get Stashuv working. I'll remove IS-3 and Maus then it's good to go imo.

Quote (HH)Benjamin ()
Does this apply to all existing maps or maps only existing in FHSW? If it applies to all, then I would say before a final release of this mappack occurs, some RtR maps should be included in it, as well as other SWoWWII maps.

Only applies to maps which are in Vanilla BF1942, FH or FH Fan Mappack 6.

@eye Just to reiterated, the problem with Stashuv is that once the northern flag #2 is capped, two Tiger 1's spawn at German main simultaneously, causing CTD. Also, I'm in favour of removing the IS-3, but I don't think there is a Maus anywhere on that map.

Thanks, I saw your comment but it's not the Tigers, they spawn when flag 1 is capped. The Maus only spawns when the KT is destroyed and Flag 2 in northeast is capped.

Edit: This map is strange, I think I've found a solution but not the cause. The spawned vehicles itself are all fine I did several tests with the debugger exe and there were no error messages in the log. My idea: Maybe at round start the map is just below the allowed limit of objects/spawners/network infos/whatever. After capping some flags more and more stuff spawns which causes the crash. I removed a couple of spawners and for now it works.

Stashuv seems to work. Bubu, Robert and me had no problems.

@Endless: what about the train? wink

What about that issue with the lagging pop up after destroying a tiger?! Is it only on that Map?

This is the first testversion of Eagles Nest for FHSW 0.552 !

(link removed)

As mentioned earlier, this map has no pickup kits yet. Pushmap system, spawning vehicles, soldier classes, etc are done so far.
What is still needed is polishing, some new static objects, and so on.

Let's test this today evening !

Did the Russians take flag 2 in the north east?

Quote marduk ()
@Endless: what about the train?

I also thought about it but there are some problems:
1) I would have to make it a map-side mod which requires a lot of additional work
2) There are a lot of IS-2s and T-34/85s which are able to kill it very quickly.
3) 2 of the 3 flags along the rail line cannot be recapped, so there's not a lot of room to use it after they are capped.

No it's a general problem. However I haven't experienced this lag personally, yet.

@Xena: Sounds good, I have uploaded it to the server.

isn´t it better to it around afternoon?! In the evening I hope some people will join for public and if they can´t connect they look for other fun. I don´t think we can allow us behavior like that

I agree with Robert, what about 6 pm? And I'm not a fan of having several versions of the same map available, it's too confusing. So we'll test a map once and then release it with the mappack. I'll make a quick list in the OP which maps have been finished.

I don't know, there are a lot of different S&T Packs available.

One more thing just came to my mind. Maybe we can ask Polish authors of Westerplatte and Grodno to convert them to FHSW and include to mappack? http://www.moddb.com/mods/gloria-victis/downloads
Would you undertake the task of converting them? More than that they finished two more maps that were not announced yet

What could I have done wrong? Is there a special line of code I have to add in the init.con? Or something about the gametypes? Is it a problem that the folders for CTF, TDM, COOP and Objective Mode are still in it?

Multiplayer issues can be very tricky to track down. First you have to be able to simulate a server on your computer via BFSM to do bug hunting.
Then my first test would be to remove all entries from ObjectSpawns.con to see if the error is related to any spawners. From there it depends what happens.

I have no BFSM nor have I any experience with that. Radio, are you doing the debugging by testing on a simulated server?

I run map on local ingame server with debugger exe, and no unusual errors came up. So I will create local server with BFSM now, clear ObjectSpawns.con like eYe said and see if it works.

My game crashed when map almost loaded, so the issue isn't caused by spawners, though I will check one more time.

One thing I was wondering: What are the SpawnPointManagerSettings.con ?
My Game Types - folder's Conquest.con says he has to load the SpawnpointManagerSettings


Quote
run Conquest/SpawnpointManagerSettings
My SpawnpointManagerSettings.con is empty though. Could this cause issues on multiplayer servers ?
I once deleted the original file and it never automatically reappeared again after saving with ED42. So I assume this file has to be written manually.

Maybe Starking could open a extra server only for maptesting, we are not so many people in testing new maps?! So our regular server ist present all the time to the public and really no problems happen.
Or Radio was hosting a server sometimes too iirc?

Especially at this time when some people try to gain bit experience because of the FHSW campaign I think our server let be untouched for testing and so on

I will try to run server with SpawnPointManagerSettings.con from vanilla Eagle's Nest.

hm, I have found another weird thing that may cause some trouble:
Actually Eagles_Nest has two Conquest.con files. This is no problem.. I believe each map has two of these game type specific files.
One is located inside "Game Types" the other is located inside the main map folder.

Here is the thing: Eagles Nest now has 2 different Conquest.con files.

EDIT:
From the one inside the general map folder where I NEVER did any changes



And here the one from the "Game Types"-folder where I made some changes on the tickets ...




What exactly does this v_arg1 and == host gibberish mean?

Yes, this is exactly what causes crash, as I just put following text in both Conquest.con files and then successfully loaded the map:


I will upload this version to Google Drive then.

Thank you very much Radio for investigating this !

Seems that both files define how the system has to work on multiplayer maps.

Will you upload the fixed map?
