two walls won't work
two walls won't work
What I did so far:
-creating a ftp dirctory on a web server of mine.
-placeing map files there
-try to use them on the instance of my armagetron on Lightfoods server.
Here are 2 examples of my map files:
http://iibi.de/sisam/L/L-0.2.aamap.xml
http://iibi.de/sisam/L/L-0.3.aamap.xml
the only difference is/should be that the 0.3 has two walls
The 0.2 version works the 0.3 causes the server to fall pack to the default map file.
I tested variations of the map files:
setting map version to "0.2.8"
setting <!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "AATeam/map-0.2.8.0_rc4.dtd"> to serveral diffrent versions
(-OK the for the doc type line I#m not sure how to find the corrct version to use, neverseless I read the maps making manual)
any hints?

Re: two walls won't work
L-0.3 worked for me, but I'm not certain if the actual result was intended. See the attached preview generated from maptools.
If the server keeps reverting back to the original map file, then there must be an error message. Perhaps you have an older version of the map cached on the server, or there is an issue with your MAP_FILE command.

Re: two walls won't work
Oh sorry, I allready checked it with maptools and get a result, thats intented (the inner square is reachable, when very close to wall).
The problem is:
version 0.2 works, version 0.3 is rejected, with a parsing error (if I remembre correctly). And I restarted the server after changing the map file (so caching shouldn't be an issue).
The MAP_FILE command should be correct, too sinze I only change the "2" and "3" in the settings.
Oh the result isn't eexaqctly the inteted, was just a extra line to be shure all walls are closed...
(which isn't necessary as I know now)

Re: two walls won't work
And as I see now the Axes number in the 0.2 version is without effect (still uses 4 axes instead of 8 )
Re: two walls won't work
If you get an error message on the server (you should), please post it. Usually, they're pretty telling.
Re: two walls won't work
OK, seems I have a caching problem. (amongst others).
Is there a way to flush the caching ?
My service is hosted n a lightfood server and I have a command line in the service menue

Re: two walls won't work
map file could not be loaded or parsed
not so talking. and first I have to solve that caching problem, I think

Re: two walls won't work
OK, surly caching problems!
what I did all the time was this:
making a map file, uploading it, testing it
then it fails, so I did corrections and uploaded it with the same name and it failed again, but because of caching.
since I loaded it up with another name it worked.
But I would really like to have the oportunity to flush the cache...
BTW: restarting the service won't flush the cache..

Re: two walls won't work
Yeah, that's really not very informative Something must be failing pretty early on, and pretty hard. The cache is usually located at ~/.armagetronad-dedicated/resource, though I don't know how Lightfoot handles it and whether you're able to clear it. If not, just bump up the version of the map again. You're supposed to do that on every content change anyway. If you want to avoid that, just test your maps locally on your client where you have full control over your files.
(Our cache is less of a cache and more of a permanent download storage.)

Re: two walls won't work
Yeah testing locally is (would have been) a much smarter way than mine
so i just raise versions on the server.
Another question (I'm not sure if that was a problem):
Do I have to do the indentions (Einrückungen) with tabs or can I use space although?

Re: two walls won't work
You can choose for yourself, you don't even have to do them at all. XML doesn't care.mclien wrote:Do I have to do the indentions (Einrückungen) with tabs or can I use space although?
