Private map kicking users off at the same time?
« on: January 10, 2015, 04:16:29 am »
I feel like I live in the help section -.-

I just got a report from two users that one of my maps kicked both of them off, at the same time, on three separate occasions. I'm assuming it is because of something I have done with the map. The map includes both Weather and Sky files.

Should I re-export? Or it there another thing I can do to avoid this issue?

Thanks in advance

What do you mean by kicked them off? Did Feralheart crash for them, were they unable to connect to the server, etc.?

It disconnected from server and then the game froze for one person and another pair of people were just disconnected.

Im not sure why it would disconect anyone, no matter what's inside the map.

All i know, there is a known bug in the game about weather and sky files, instead of sharing your *.fhw and *.fhs files you should share the *.cycle, *.weather, *.particle and *.sky files, otherwise all people will crash at same time on your map when ever the weather event happens.
If you already shared these files, then try to export your map again and see what happens.

Thierry you are amazing. That must deffinatly be the cause of the problems since I was sharing the weather and sky files from my exports folder!

One more question if I may then, So if I were to make a sky file, and add it to the map and export the map. I shouldn't share the sky file from the exports folder but rather the sky file in my sky folder correct?

I would say yes but, I just checked one map using a FHS file, and it was working (im confused now), so I think the problem is only with the FHW files.
either way, you can share the SKY file and it will work.

Note: Be careful with the particle files because if put twice the same particle will make your game to crash.
