Noobish mapping questions post here

This is probably a stupid question but whats OS stand for?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Operation System. Your Windows version. XP, Vista, 7?

[Pac-Fish]

Windows 7. Yes I am at rock bottom

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Ok then press your start button and type "notepad.exe" without "s.
Execute it and open the file YOURMAP.info, search for modname = "Eastern_Front" then.

[Pac-Fish]

Yes I finally see what your talking about . TY for the help. Let me try fixng it.
EDIT: It didnt work. I changed Eastern_Front to RelicCOH and still nothing.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Hmm that's sad. I'll try something myself in a moment and report to you if it was succesful or not.

Hi, I have recently found a map me and my buddies used to play constantly (pre v1.7), the map stopped working when opposing fronts came out and we have sort of forgotten it:P Now that im trying to make it playable again i have hit a snag:
Only half the map is usable?
When i draw an impass map, one half of the map is red, and the rest is black, on the red part i cant run/drive or anything like that in-game. I have tried to use the impass map editor to "right-click" it all away, but it has a different color when i add some land impassibility, and when i right click the red parts, nothing happens...
So, any ideas?

I suggest to stamp the whole map.

[Blyfri]

Stamp with what? and where do i find it?
I have to admit, im not a seasoned map-editor, so just be as specific as you can:D

*edit*
I added a pic if its any help.

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Could you upload the map? I could see what I can do about it.

[Blyfri]

Here you go! The starting-points are a bit random atm, the original map had them in the holes in-between the buildings, but they bugged on startup, i have also removed some objects to ensure there is room for all the buildings!

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Just like I thought. You used following object which has a bugged impass area around it and causes severe lags:



You can download the updated version here

[Blyfri]

Awesome! Thanks mate:)
As I said, all I have done on this map is to add new starting points, but now its time for us to take it for a spin! Thanks again;)
Post Merge: October 16, 2011, 04:07:54 PMOk, so I moved the starting points back, and now the map shuts down when i try to start a lan-game...The newest version is in my signature, the original i uploaded here. [nofollow]

What victory point actually shows up in multiplayer games?

[Blyfri]

i dont know, we have never played victory point in this map...
2 sec and ill fire it up and see...

*edit*
Ok, so I took the original map, removed the objects you marked on you previous post, (+changed the outline of some zones), but didnt move anything else... If i now host a annihialate(?) game it starts and works as it should, if i start a victory point game, it becomes a annihialate(?) map when the loading is done.

So.. I guess i have fixed whatever i accedentaly broke before:P
Cheers!
