Toying around with the Online Beta

[Chessking]

Carl’s world may not be used, but some files related to the map are in the folder. In the zipped resource file => geog => multiplayer there is a .map and a .lws file named Carl’s World.

You’re right, I totally forgot to look into the resource.zip file! :woohoo:

I wonder what’s the difference between .ini maps and .map maps – just the file format? In the beta, they added the map like this:

system = map:/geog/multiplayer/carls_world

Maybe I can add the maps from the geog directory to the dedicated server here, let’s see…

Edit: Well, it doesn’t load that map directly like it did in the Beta. But I see that the map is defined in the file for the “Bomb Tag” gametype as default. 🙂 Maybe I’ll just have to cycle through gametypes to get to that map.

Edit #2: Nope. “Cal’s World” is just broken and can’t be loaded. Damn, it’s a fun map in the Beta.

Yes, I recall more map choices for different game types.

Would it be possible to make a mod that adds the map from the beta into the finished version? Of course anyone who joins would have to have the mod active.

Yes, I think that’s simply done by just copying the file over. 😉

But I won’t add it here, since this would make the server unuseable for the retail version.

I’ll tinker with adding a second server, hopefully this will be possible.
