MapMixer 3.01 [FINAL] [Pics]

[nfleming]

Ahhhh. I had assumed that would take me out of the current session, I should have known better.
Thanks.

This mod has made UT3's UI infinitely better for me, and I much prefer the new way of handling maps and characters over vanilla... Props to all your hard work and success.

However, there is one problem I have encountered. I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but when I use MapMixer 3.00, UT3 no longer updates my achievement progress. For example, I have gotten the "Biohazard" award in several matches, but it remains stuck at 3/10 when it should be around 8/10 or so. Similarly, the deathmatch achievement is stuck at 37/100 when I'm sure it should be around 50...

Whether Awards Progress is enabled or not is up to Epic and is recorded in the log file.

A quick glance at my log file reveals the following, after the match URL is invoked:

Log: Award progress has now been fully reenabled!

So according to that, there should be no problem. Although I haven't done any extensive testing on this whole issue, I only play matches using mapmixer and I have awards registered.

Anyone else care to comment on their experiences?

[Shadow Dancer]

Had "Paint the town red" unlock during a MM IA game. I think it only counts the first match, though.

Will investigate.

Had no mutators on, running through MM Advanced Session, got Top Gun in 2 successive botmatches. Only one counted toward the Ace Award.

Random excerpt from log file where awards were turned on, then turned off again. Will save this log file.

Match went: Suspense, Sandstorm (where I was not able to get a Top Gun by dogfighting with the other Fury) and then to Suspense Necris where I got it again Raptr v. Fury, but the Awards were turned off before I ever got to Sus. Necris. Normal MM map progression. Set to Distribute Shuffle.

Upon progressing into the next map (VCTF-Suspense) Awards are turned off. Got Top Gun but did not count toward Ace.

Standard Map Progression this time.

[TheFirestorm]

Interesting... so it's not just me then. I played more of UT3, and it worked the same way. Awards counted for only the first match, but if I tried to replay a map or something in Quick Launch, awards did not count. If I did this, awards didn't count for any other match I played even after exiting to the menu, so I had to restart the game completely.

But yeah, it seems like only the first matches count towards the achievements. It's too bad, since exiting to the menu after each map tends to get a little tedious.

I don't really know how to pull the logs out like Shadow did, but hopefully this is helpful feedback anyway.

Thanks for that. I'll have a look when I get some time. It could be a trigger.

I've been working casually on a couple of fixes for mm 3.0 (will release 3.01) and I'll spend some time looking at this one.

Edit: Yeah, looks like it does trigger the Cheat Detection after the first map. That's a real bummer but I'll see if there is anything that can be done, though it may be totally out of my hands.

In the default UT3 interface my map preview pic shows up fine, but not in mapmixer, wtf?

[sinx]

Most often this occurs because map authors are using a Material as their Preview Image. MapMixer only supports Textures. Materials are often use to create 'slideshows'.

If that isn't the case then you need to:

1. Check your Log file and you'll see a warning message for the failed texture load.
2. Check the reference is correct for you map in UTMapMixer_MapDatabase.ini. You shouldn't edit this by hand - but it's just a point to check.

[HO0815XX]

Yes, I do that too in my maps. Is it possible to implement this in mapmixer ?

[Whom massacre you]

Any plans of fixing it? Some maps, like the MSUC Phase 2 (I think) "Best Graphics in Map" winner "Araja ][" deserve it.

[»TheHitMan«]

I'm using a texture for the preview. Like I said it shows up fine in the default UT3 menu, but not mapmixer. I'm not doing anything different than the maps which previews do show up.

MapMixer is internally designed to cache and draw Texture2D classes. I originally made this decision due to 2 things. [A] All Epic maps used Textures; and [B] I had some issues drawing a Material to the Canvas (which I have now worked out).

To support Materials would require some re-working of some internals of mapmixer, such as my image cache class, which means a little bit of work :C. I've just spent 120 hours playing Dragon Age and along with Mass Effect 2 coming out, and my list of other games, I don't have a lot of free time lately. Though I do currently have a MapMixer 3.01b, which contains a couple of fixes.

I'm using a texture for the preview. Like I said it shows up fine in the default UT3 menu, but not mapmixer. I'm not doing anything different than the maps which previews do show up.

I know this is becoming very clichéd and I really need to think up something more original but 'Check your log file'. :P

Funny, I always feel better after throwing up a good meal.

I just love random.

I did check the log file, I did not recieve any errors of any kind after loading the map, so I dont know what to tell ya.

Did you go through a process of changing the name or location of the preview image at any point? If so, MapMixer's own cache of map info (ie UTMapMixer_MapDatabase.ini) will need to be refreshed. Do the following:

1. Select the map in either the maps tab of the Quick Session Menu or the Available Maps list (right) in the Map List editor in the Advanced Session Menu.
2. Press F5.
3. Select 'Basic' from the Dialog that then appears.
4. You may need to close and re-open the current menu to see the change.

[»TheHitMan«]

You didn't have to delete the whole file - just follow my instructions above.

[»TheHitMan«]

Yes I tried your instructions as followed exactly, it did not help.

[sinx]

Yes I tried your instructions as followed exactly, it did not help.

Not quite sure what to say. I just tested this myself by opening the UTMapMixer_MapDatabase.ini and deliberately breaking an image preview and then running the game and selecting the map from the Quick Session Menu (which was blank obviously) and then hit F5 (and selected 'Basic') and then closed and re-opened the menu and it worked correctly.

A direct examination of the Log file would have to be performed, if for some reason that didn't work. You'd also want to check the actual image reference for the map entry in the UTMapMixer_MapDatabase.ini file to make sure that is correct.

[sinx]

I've made a small number of fixes available as a partial release - 3.01b, which can be found at the mapmixer site. Keep in mind that it requires the original 3.00 Release to be installed first.

Changelog included in the beta release.

You'll note that the MapMixer Client has been updated to version 3.01, which has the side-effect of removing all your Client-side customisations. These can be re-instated by opening your Config/UTMapMixer_Client.ini file and replacing all occurrances of "MapMixerClient-300" with "MapMixerClient-301" - just make sure you do this before you run the game, or 301 items for this file will be added automatically and performing the search and replace will result in duplicate sections.

I'll release a final 3.01 version when this beta has been tested more.

[Odedge]

I can't say I have experienced any of the problems listed in the 3.01b version. But I have one small issue to report. Both of us are using 3.00. One person creates a password prrotected listen server (using MM), I try and join and right before it should ask me for the password, it goes back to the main menu (in MM). I have to go to the default menu to join the server.

I have to go to the default menu to join the server.

To be honest, I don't have a lot of experience with password protected servers, however I will say the following:

1. The password protection (ie ?GamePassword=xxx?) is not a function of MapMixer but a function of UT3.
2. The Server Browser is supplied by UT3 and MapMixer simply links to that menu, so MapMixer provides no extended functionality with the Server Browser or joining matches.
3. Joining of matches is a function of UT3, not MapMixer. MapMixer simply sets up the Server URL and UT3 launches the match - MapMixer then does nothing until the first map has loaded.
4. I also find that a lot of people confuse the Game Password with the Admin Password option (not saying you are but just simply mentioning it).

So, the Game Password option is something handled by UT3 - but I'm not sure of the specifics.

Just to be clear, I am not confusing the two. In fact, I gain admin access once I have connected to the server. While it's not really a big deal, it's just a little pain to use the default browser.

IF MM just links directly to the default MP browser, is there something that could be messing it up anyways?

MapMixer does use the default MP Browser - although I'm not sure the word 'use' is even relevant because all MapMixer does is tell UT3 to open the MP Browser, it doesn't 'use it' as such. I'm not sure how UT3 handles the GamePassword option. All MapMixer does is add it to the game URL when launching the server - UT3 handles everything else. I had a feeling the client had to set it manually in one of their UT3 ini files but I really have no idea on this as I've never used the option with UT3.

I guess my question to people experienced with the GamePassword URL option is: What is the standard behaviour? I mean if you simply ignore MM for the moment, what happens when you launch a server via the command line with the GamePassword URL option? - As in, what happens when joining this server? I say this because all MapMixer does is construct the Server URL and let UT3 handle the rest.

[Zerglings]

Sinx m8 can you override the 16 bots/humans you can play or do need to make a new mutator for that stuff?

I haven't purposely defined a 32 player limit, although I have use the MaxPlayersAllowed value from the engine.GameInfo class. On retrospect, I should have use the UTGame.UTGame MaxPlayersAllowed value, which is hard coded to 64, which as you know is the engines current updated limit.

I'll make the small adjustment necessary for MapMixer to reflect this higher value.

[Zerglings]

Should have added CTF, VCTF, Greed and War style.

eg: 14v18 With help from your faction AI controls the small teams AI is tweeked more then other for balances issues.

I mentioned UTGame.UTGame as it is the base for UT3 gametypes and it's just a spot to get the number from. It bares no relationship to any limitation for all gametypes.

[Extasis]

good job, thx!!!!

[TurdDrive]

Found a large problem.

Since i play offline and cant log into ut3 with MM it isnt saving my preferances!!

vanilla ut3 did?

what should i do.


i did register on your forum but it was taking to long to activate!

[TheFirestorm]

I've been using 3.01 for a short time, and so far I can say that it performs similarly to 3.00.

However, that is both good and bad. Good because nothing goes wrong (I honestly couldn't tell what was different). Bad because the same problems haven't been fixed yet. I know it was addressed earlier, but only the first match counts towards an achievement's progress. It gets somewhat bothersome having to return to the main menu so often. :x

Also, an unrelated problem but troublesome nonetheless: After a current match, it is supposed to display the scoreboard for a set amount of time (if enabled, I have it disabled) then it is supposed to display the map preview, right? For me, it takes forever for the map preview to show up, if at all. It just stays that at the freeze frame as I rotate around my character; it doesn't do anything. Any idea what causes this?

[mrkcr84]

While there are some things about MapMixer that I find aggravating, I think we can all agree that it's hands-down a million times better and more flexible than that garbage UI that Epic stuck in UT3. I really am disappointed in how the UI in there seems like an afterthought, especially considering all the detail that went into the game engine and the tools.

Anyway - many many thanks to the developer of MapMixer. Your labor of love is a gift to all of us. I couldn't setup my LAN game weekends without it.

TurdDrive - on that note, yes, I agree with you. It pisses me off too. But I've just resigned myself to doing it every time when I start. Honestly, I think maybe the only reason that works for me is because I rarely play UT3 except on planned well-in-advance weekends when I'm doing a LAN party with friends. In those cases, I'm only setting everything up for that all day session. But if I were playing a lot of the time, I guess I would be getting more annoyed because I have NO patience. Hope maybe the author will fix this one for you.

I'm unable to take screenshots of the character menu. F9 doesn't work and "print screen" while in fullscreen mode gives just a black screen. Don't know if that part is windows 7 related?

One way to take a screenshot is to type in screenshot in the console, which takes a screeny of the console mostly and the legs...So it's kinda ineffective

The only way to take one atm that works is running the game windowed mode and pressing print screen. This works best as it hides most of the mapmixer options for some reason except the accept and cancel button.
But it limits the resolution and quality I can take the screenshot at.

PS. I modified the character screen to be white only, but it the problem was there beforehand.

To take screenshots in the character menu: F10 --> Tab --> type: shot
