Looks like the space is the culprit.
Whichever bright programmer at Microsoft decided spaces belonged in filenames should be shot, given lethal injection, then shipped out to Guantanamo for questioning.
Please replace the space with an underscore (shift-minus) and try again.
Code: Select all
CrazySPACEGold/Rubber/pillars-1.aamap.xml
Please replace the space with an underscore (shift-minus) and try again.
ok, the problem is at the resource then, could someone who has powers there please 'OK' the space or just take it out?
or will the repository accept maps with a different author than the account user name is?
Edit: i was talking with luke jr about it earlier and he also said it was the space... and he said

so i'm guessing it's possible...get someone to OK space in the name
someone relevant
yeah the file name came after i had already chosen the resource repository username... which had a space in it......i realized my mistake after i had too look where and what to save it......i was hoping the space would make a difference......even if you run windows, you shouldnt put spaces in file names.
you do realize that file names can't contain any of the characters "\, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, and |"?if you must, everytime you go to it, you have to replace spaces with a +, %20, or just a \ in front of the space
also if windows shouldn't have spaces in file names, why are there default files with them in them?
(ie. My Downloads, My Music, My Pictures, My Videos, My Documents, Program Files, and Documents and Settings)
and game type files
(ie. Armagetron Advanced and Armagetron Advanced Dedicated)
anyway, i get what your saying..... i need my file name and resource user name to be one of these:
'CrazyGold'
'Crazy-Gold'
'Crazy_Gold'
If someone would 'OK' or takeout the space in my account name, that would be much appreciated
The *powers that be*, as far as that's me, don't see a problem in spaces in resource filenames. They're a bit annoying (they have to be escaped, as has been said), but otherwise fine. The problem is, however, that Arma would need to do the escaping when it passes the download URL to libxml; it doesn't currently do that, so resource downloads with spaces in it will not work. We can try to work around that, but I can't see a way to lift the "no spaces and other queer characters in resource filenames" rule while 0.2.8.2.1 is in widespread use.
