Hi'

I need your help on this map.

I don't understand why i can't play in multiplayer with this map !!
I see the side select menu but it's impossible to join for another computer (tested in lan).

So, if someone can show my map and find the reason, it will be marvellous !
I'm sure that my map can be very funny to play.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !!!

looks like a decent map. the only thing i must say is that the lighting needs a lot of work.

I'm not positive, but it definitely sounds like you didn't cook the map. You need to place it in MyDocuments/MyGames/Gears of War for Windows/Wargame/Unpublished/CookedPC/CustomMaps. You then need to hit the button that allows you to publish by cooking, NOT copying. It will then show up in Wargame/Published/CookedPC/CustomMaps. You will then need to copy paste the map into WarGame/Published/CookedPC/Maps/CustomMaps. When you startup the game, it should create a configuration settings file as well, which you also need to bundle with your map for people to play it.

I think you mostly need to work on the interior base there in the last screenshot. The ceiling is simply too bland and the circular pillars don't work when they are randomly placed, as your eye is drawn to how they don't match up with the square pattern on the ceiling. The walls actually look like the default material. Besides picking a more appropriate material (like bricks or stone), line some square pillars into the wall (don't line them up against it, but push them into it so that they appear to be part of the wall, but still breaking apart the monotony). The ground and fog looks great.

As for the exteriors, it all looks good EXCEPT that it feels empty when you look in the background. I understand the concept that it's a temple island thing, but I would still add either surrounding buildings all around, or, if you want to stay with that island feel, I would add other distant islands as well.

i just played this map by myself and i think that it needs to be tested internally by you before you release it. I didnt find any other weapons other than the troikas, MANY of the cover links were messes up, and the layout is just too big. Once those are fixed i think this map will have a bright future.

I see a hammerburst in the last pic NewPCGamer. There appears to be other weapons, but maybe they're easy to miss.

haha i guess your right. Yea they are extremely easy to miss. i didnt see any wehn i was walking around.

i removed all weapons (because i thinked it was the problem !!). i will place them don't worry.

about the "cooking":
"You then need to hit the button that allows you to publish by cooking, NOT copying."
where i find this button ? (sorry if it's silly !) in editor ?

i'm not english, so, for me "cooking", it's only a kitchen word !:D

thanks for all

Well I was going to take a picture of it to show you, but imageshack is being slow as piss right now.

It's in the upper-right hand corner of the editor. The button is the second one from the right, and is orange. Highlight the buttons to display a message telling you what they are, and one of them should say the words "publish" and "cooking" in it. If you can't find the button, then your screen resolution is probably set too low.

Beware, I'm pretty sure that you can't alter a published map in any way.

ok, sorry for the answer i was on holiday !

I do this but it doesn't work too. Do you have a link for a tutorial with all that I need to convert a map into a multiplayer map ?

I did another map during holiday, so, i absolutely need it, please !!

thanks a lot !

Have you checked the world properties? For a multiplayer map, you need to specify it in the World Properties. There should be a "bMultiplayer" check box that u need to click, once u hit that, scroll down to Game type settings and say what kind of game ypu wish it to be. exp: Team deathmatch, annex, etc. Hope that helps! :D

ok guys, i forget to find myself !!

i will post the last version of my map (not bugged like last one).
If someone can transform it to multiplayer, i will make some sacrifice to Zeus for him !!

Ps: i did another map (more beautifull but with the same problem of multi !!)

look here (in french !)
