Thanks for the quick replys.

Try this commandline:

ut3.exe Server DM-Arsenal?game=GaltanorsInvasion006.GaltanorsInvasio n?MinNetPlayers=1?MaxPlayers=16?timelimit=40?numpl ay=3?Mutator=VASUT3AutoShields.VASUT3AutoShields,M utTranslocatorPlus.MutTranslocatorPlus,DropItAll.D ropItAll_Mutator,SpawnWeaponsbeta.UTMutator_SpawnW eaponsbeta,Uberboard.UTMutator_Uberboard,BattleMOD .BattleMOD?bShouldAdvertise=True?botskill=1?AdminP assword=***** -Login=MILLERSPCK -Password=***** -log=..\Logs\Server-TDM.log -unattended


if you were changing the port, it is after the ?param?param part, it's -port=### Put the server description in the ini, and drop the gamemode= part. Any better?

[Galtanor]

Have it all set up. Tried classname="GaltanorsInvasion" and now tried classname="GaltanorsInvasion006". Niether one enable map voting. Also bAllowMapVoting is set to true. Here is a part of my log file that looks a little fishy me. Not sure if it means anything to you guys.

Log: Failed to find Package GuidCache_CustomMpas to FullyLoad [FullyLoadType = 3, Tag = ]

The errors are simply cause the engine found a folder in your published directory that it does not have any information on... you are getting them on the "GaltanorsInvasion" folder which just has the content file, but you are also getting them on a "CustomMpas" folder... maybe cause its misspelled?

There are a couple things in your startup line that I do not think need to be there... bushbomb has better experience running servers then I do. Try what he suggests and see if that works.

Will you be making this PS3 when they make the tools public

I will have to take a look at the tools when they become available... I do not have a PS3, so I would have to rely on others to test it.

Loo, mantasoul, and Tiberium : I am still working to track down the crash. Hopefully when I get all the log files back I can determine what the problem is.

Bug to fix:
Playing a ctf map, after starting the server, the minimap shows and has a black background with a grey grid.

Game ends, start another game, voting for the same CTF map, this time when it loads, the minimap black/grey part is gone and the middle is transparent. Still shows all the dots correctly.

Either way works for me, just caught me off guard. It almost seemed nice with some transparency so I didn't have as much of a blind spot.

Did this happen when you were playing an online game? If so, its an Epic bug. (why does that sound funny ) See this thread: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=25126917

If you want, I can look into adding an alpha layer to the radar's background texture... might be an interesting option.

Thanks

Ok i tested your version of Invasion. Here is my list of things to do:

- Fix Radar doesnt work
- Add sounds like New invasion starts in ..... from orig. ut2004
- ESC doesnt work
- When press F1 all menues and huds are disabled
- Can only leave game with console command exit because ESC doesnt work
- Add more monsters

I loved invasion in ut2004 and i hope it will return. This first beta looks nice but some bugs are bad :-/

as far as the ESC & F1 keys go, go into your game settings and see if they are binded to a command.

What version do you have?

- Version 006 has a working radar map.
- Version 006 has the sounds from the original UT2K4 invasion.
- I have many times exited the game with ESC and then selecting "exit game" from the menu, so it might be a problem with your key bindings as GUPraeToriaN suggested.
- If you are on a network game, you may experience an issue with the custom hud... this is a known bug in the game engine, which Epic will fix in due time. See this thread for more info: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=25126917
- More monsters are in development... Remember, UT3 has only been out for approx 2 months and we are still figuring out the new engine and scripting.

Fixing bugs is my first priority. Most of the major issues have all been fixed with the one exception that a couple people are having with the game crashing when a monster spawns. The next release is currently on hold until I get it fixed.

If anyone else is experiencing any of the issues that Muskator has mentioned, please let me know.

Yeah, I have never run your mutator locally, since I plan in the end on running it on a perm. dedicated server. I launch your game on another server, then connect to it.

I think all of these (except add monsters) are a problem on your end. I've had a lot of people join my invasion 006 server and the only issue that 1 player had was when he clicked "disconnect" his UT client crashed, but we saw no problems server side or on the other clients.

Hit F10, type "open dawga.com:8888" and see if you get the same problems there. You need Patch 1 to join. It is always running the latest version of this mod.

Works great until I tried to disconnect. Then my client crashed.

[bushbomb]

ok, 1 player tried it on 1 server, then tried it on another server, both times it crashed when he disconnected. Next time it crashed when he exited. Here is his last response:


Did it one more time. This time I also removed the UT3 folder in "Program Files (x86)" and the UT3 folder in "my games". Then installed and patched.
Still crashed on disconnect.
This only happens on the 2 invasion servers. AND only since version 006. Didn't do this on 5.

[bushbomb]

1 more thing, I noticed your UTGaltanorsInvasion006.ini has the GameSpecificMapCycles using GaltanorsInvasion006, I don't think you need that, because the class doesn't have it, just the package.

And if you look at the other cycles, they're using the class names, not packages. I use the one without the 006, and I'm running 006, and mapvote is enabled on my test server.

[Muskator]

Hey Galtanor,
I have version 006 of your Invasion and i also installed Patch 1.1 Final. But the Radar still doesnt work. I dont know why, but i cant see enemys and friends at radar.
I also dont know why ESC and F1 doesnt work fine. I havent changed the commands for this keys! But this happens only in your mod.

In the Invasion version of Kearin all works fine.

Other Thing: maybe you and kearin can work together on one Invasion Mod? I think it will be better to make one Mod. So also the worktime is not so long i think.

Hey Galtanor, are you going to cook this for PS3?

Tell him he can not stop playing
No, seriously, can you please post the part of the log file before the crash?

Ok, I will remove it in the next version. I had originally added it there to see if it would work instead of placing it in the UTGame.ini file.

Hey Galtanor, are you going to cook this for PS3?

On the Beta release email of the PS3 converter:

Mutators and game types must consist of UnrealScript code only. This means that you cannot have a mutator that turns all UT3 weapons into a space cow model that you import. This is because they need to work with shipping maps, and too much content added on will cause the PS3 to run out of memory.
Importing sounds is not supported. This is because UT3 uses a proprietary version of ATRAC3 and we are unable to release the tool that is needed to convert .wav files to the format required by the game.

Dunno what all the first one covers, but it may kill the conversion because I have custom scoreboards.
The second one definitely kills all the custom sounds.
Also, its going to make monster creation a painful process since they all have to be 'custom characters'.

Bug to fix:
Playing a ctf map, after starting the server, the minimap shows and has a black background with a grey grid.

Game ends, start another game, voting for the same CTF map, this time when it loads, the minimap black/grey part is gone and the middle is transparent. Still shows all the dots correctly.

Either way works for me, just caught me off guard. It almost seemed nice with some transparency so I didn't have as much of a blind spot.

I looked thru this again and found a issue where this would happen. It will be fixed in the next version.

Loo, mantasoul, and Tiberium : Thanks to Tiberium's patience, it looks like I found the issue. I should have it fixed in the next version.

It has taken me a while to track down that bug, so I have not made any significant progress on any new features for version 007.

Note: the invasion waves that come with the game are just an example... You can customize them if you want by editing the UTGaltanorsInvasionWaves.ini file. For more information, please see the configuration page: http://invasion.sudreal.org/index.ph...Manager_Config
If its not clear enough or you have questions, please let me know.
