in game mapchange for "SF Refinery" not possible anymore
« on: Sunday, August 31, 2014, 11:00:50 AM »
there is a problem atm with this map. you can not change it as admin in game nor as player with mapvote. i guess there is something wrong with the names MP_SF_Refinery. while trying to change to this map, you will see text like .... \Briefings\MP_Refinery.txt (and not MP_SF_Refinery). maybe this is the problem, don't know.

by starting this map at server start, all is ok and the map will be loaded.

thanks for having a look at.

yes, true.
the strange thing is that you can start a server with that map "offline", with a new server start. but online/ingame no way.

no you are not talking bs :) - never Ganja :D
it must be someting with its name using on assist like i did write above. different names are been used i guess. so no match and the map still stays like it was before you did try do change the map to another. so lets wait for Spanky or ELiZ

it is nothing dramatic, but it should be corrected with the 8.13

Propblem is in Tours.ini that the current Mapvote looks for names.
Corrected now, but I can't distribute the file now, it would cause a restart of all users and servers.

I'll do it when there is less people on.

This:
MissionText(8)=MP_Refinery


Is now changed to:
MissionText(8)=MP_SF_Refinery

Loading screen should also have the same bug

I switched our Airfield server to Refinery, just to see if it was possible.

And it was.
Probably not through the admin panel, though.

What I did is just use the command 'admin swtich MP_SF_Refinery' to switch and you can see it's now on Refinery.

Unless ELiZ already released the fix, the command can bypass such errors (which it should, as it seems to address the mapname.aao  directly).

You can change the server back if you wish, Merlin.

EDIT:
You can see there's a problem when loading the map or joining the server with the map, as the name says 'MP_SF_Refinery' instead of '[mAAp] SF Refinery', which it would otherwise probably say.

Whoops, you can probably blame this on me when I re-did the Tours.ini. That map isn't that good anyway. It should be re-converted with ELiZ's tool. It was one of the first maps I converted and back then, I used copy, paste and Notepad :)

thanks teddy for testing. I did it menu related, not on console command way.
because the file name was wrong on changing map with the menu method, it failed.
