Server Upload Error

Blazing Pheonix · Post by **Blazing Pheonix** » Sat Jun 13, 2009 5:49 am

Hi, Thanks for clicking on this

I'm new to server uploading or whatever putting your map onto a local game with just yourself is called. I created the map, Saved it under C:\Documents and Settings\Cody\Application Data\Armagetron\resource\Vengence

P.S. I use windows

And I used the ` key and typed in MAP_FILE C:\Documents and Settings\Cody Goldman\Application Data\Armagetron\resource\Vengence/HexMex.txt
and it says map file changed from C:/Documents to C:\Documents and then the game finishes on the little square map and I get an error

ERROR: User given path "C:\Documents" is an absolute path. Your not allowed to access files outside the configured files hierarchies.
ERROR: Cannot determine path to write resources to.

Any help?

Ok, so first, it appears that your map is called HexMex.txt, which is an incorrect map name. Open up your map and you'll see something like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "AATeam/map-0.2.8.0.dtd">
<Resource type="aamap" name="arena" version="1" author="Durka" category="sumo">

Notice the line starting with <Resource. The correct name for this map would be arena-1.aamap.xml.

So the first thing you need to do is open up your map, look at the <Resource line, and name it correctly.

Next, you'll need to place it in the correct directory. For example, for the example map above, I would place it in: .../resource/Durka/sumo/.

Now, in local game, I would type this into the console: MAP_FILE Durka/sumo/arena-1.aamap.xml.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the help. I got past that one error.

I got a couple of errors that came at the end of each round. I couldn't see what they were since they came too quick

. What do you think went wrong with...

Scroll up, n00b.

There were two errors, both pretty easy to overlook. The first was "<Axes Number="6"/>". The attributes are case sensitive. It should be number.

The second was your placement of the <Settings> element. It is part of the <Map> element, not <Field>. http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php? ... d#Settings

Also, it's somewhat frowned upon to put a lot of settings in the map file. Be sure what you put in there is absolutely necessary and compatible with all clients/servers. Keeping most of your settings in a .cfg file gives you more flexibility (which is better because you might discover you need to change something after playing your map a while).

Try this:

Code: Select all

That helps, I think just one more step. I saved it under

C:\Documents and Settings\Cody Goldman\Application Data\Armagetron\resource\Vengence\HexaTRON

The map version was 1 the category was HexaTRON. I saved the map as HexMexTest

I go to my local game

Get to the Con:

Typed " MAP_FILE Vengence\HexaTRON\HexMexTest-1.aamap.xml " I also tried " MAP_FILE Vengence\HexaTRON/HexMexTest-1.aamap.xml "

but i get

ERROR: ctxt is NULL

Thanks for the help everyone

Your slashes are going the wrong way! Do:

Code: Select all

MAP_FILE Vengence/HexaTRON/HexMexTest-1.aamap.xml

Also, TEAMNAME_1 should be TEAM_NAME_1, same with TEAMNAME 2 & 3.

Just to inform you better about the slashes.
Windows is the only operating system that uses backslashes "\" as a separator. All flavors or unix, and the internet, which was based on unix servers originally, use a forward slash "/". That is why you use a forward slash for everything, except Windoze.
