Unable to connect to the games with custom mods and maps

Postby Proto » 29 Jul 2015, 14:19

Hello community! After a two year break, I resumed play in the FA via the FAF. Two years ago, I did not have any problems when you connect, but now they have appeared, and greatly reduce the fan.
1. When you connect to another player (if he uses when creating custom map games or any mods) when I go in its lobby, I see a message that the file Lua is missing in MAPS folder or I was banned because I does not have the same mod(s) as the lobby and as owner (I specifically checked-in folder / mods / these mod(s) is available)
2. GAZ_UI did not work with the BlakOps (if I try to connect GAZ_UI from vault, the game crashes)

Hi Proto,

GAZ_UI is integrated, don't use the mod in any form.

To help you with your first issue I will need logs, please read the red wall of text above this section :)

I try to describe the problem in detail, with illustrations:

1.Download from the vault custom map, for example Stella Maris 1v1.v0001
2.Сreate a host with this map ... until all goes OK

Image

3.Loading lobby...and requires a file Stella Maris 1v1_scenario.lua !!! That seems to have been successfully downloaded with a map Stella Maris 1v1.v0001

Image


4.Checks for files that are required, and see that he is in the right place. WTF?!

I know about embedded GAZ_UI,tnx, good job, very convenient!
but it does not work together with BlaсkOps modification. In the settings menu there is no extended options GAZ_UI. Whether they are compatible? (BlaсkOps and embedded GAZ_UI). If so, how do I make it working?

You have cyrillic characters in your username. FA isn't compatible with such paths.

I'll take a note of this and make sure we deal with it in upcoming client updates. For now, you can copy/paste the maps/mods into your normal game's map directory, or anywhere the game might be able to find it (The path must not contain unicode characters).

Thank you for the quick response! I found a temporary solution, just rename the "Мои документы" folder to "My Documents" without using Cyrillic characters. It works! Now I can use custom maps and modes!
