Anyone want to help test my new FC2 map?

got the dedicated server config'd and running but can't get my map to run on it. it will run from the ingame Create room function

not sure what the performance difference is there.

all the instructions I've found say to publish the map to the Map Community Server then remove the map from the user maps folder then download the map from the map server which will add a bunch of numbers to the name and place it in the Downloads folder. then list the map with all the numbers in the name in the config file.

problem is, I can't upload or download from the map server.

I'll keep working on it but maybe I'll just have to use the in-game local host.
not sure what the -M-s will think of that, they seem to be big on the full PB Matched rank dedicated servers.
Sarg3? what do you think?

maybe if someone is free tonight or tomorrow we can test it out really quick?

sry I missed ya ski, was a little busier than I expected tonight.

got the map published and downloaded. installed FC2 at work to do it Cool

anyway, once the Ubi named file is on my computer the dedicated server should run it.

I keep meaning to buy a small HD to run 32 bit XP. There are a few things I have that don't like 64 bit.

looks like redoing old maps is catchy....

lol, I just downloaded Monkey Bay

only bad part is the muddy African river water. doesnt fit the carribean/ south sea look of FC.

I played around on the Surf map remake a while ago, not bad except the water and slow boats

just thinking, I wonder if I should set the dedicated server to run on 2 cores and the game to run on the other 2? or should I just leave it alone...

probably should leave it alone I'm thinking...

As far as servers go, we try to run ranked, but that is just because we want our rank and diamonds. Most of the time it is not a dedicated because i have heard that it is very difficult to run a dedicated and play on the same machine. FC makes PB wig out really bad. I might be a little late tonight but i will try to be here!

got my map working on the dedicated.
to test hardware performance I ran the dedicated server and joined another game since there was no one on mine. played for about an hour and a half with no problems. I have 4 cores running at 2.9Ghz and 4 GB RAM, think it should be ok, we'll see what 16 people does to it...

isn't there some special process to get a map approved for Ranked Match?

any suggestions for other maps in the rotation?
