Ants place has 2 volvo's, a dodge, and 2 motercycles :sbigsmile: and a bunch of translocators and redeemers(you can't steal them.)

Da what?
What in the world am I suppose to do with those? I know I have someone's name on those deemer missiles but the volvo and the .... nevermind.

There's no need to give me a treasure island. If you want to put a smile on me, all you could do is to complete a well designed map.

It's fine, you will become famous. Isn't that what you want? Besides, a person's name needs to be in a map in order to make it a "Gift" map.
Anyway, Just download and see if it works. If not, there will be a delay :sdull:

Mouse, seems like you're doomed with this map... lol.
Sorry I didn't mean to laugh. (silently laughs in an evil manner)

Seems like copying other people's custom work is giving you trouble hey?
But I can see that you are stuborn, and pressist in using them anyway.

A lot of people did advise you not to... but please don't let us stop you.
Seems you doing just fine...

No really, don't give up, keep going.

I read a topic in Epic's own website that people sometimes encrypt their maps, so their stuff can't be copied properly.
sometimes people hide their custom things on the Editor, so you can't see them, even if you can open the map with editor.
Properties > bHiddenEditor=True.

If that's the case, you didn't copy the whole thing since you can't see it, and therefore get errors.

Sigh... you could have made a decent map, and all ready by now if only you would have just stuck to the default meshes, etc...

Never mind.

Keep doing what you're doing, you're going the right way.

[Skyline]

I managed to find all the packages the map still needed and took a good look through the map. The packages still relied on are:

1. 2009BenderStaticMesh
- The 'ShieldCharge' Emitters you've put in are directly from the package. Switch them to a different emitter and you're done.

2. CrazyCannon
- This weapon is pretty ridiculous anyway... if you want an interesting weapon in the secret then you have the Nuke Layer, Ripper, Mine Layer, INV Gravity Vortex, Enhanced Redeemer etc. to choose from... if you really want to use it, it would be possible to myLevel it, but it isn't really worth the effort.

3. Weapons of Evil mod
- Fyrian Cannon. It would take a lot of effort to get this into its own package/myLevel it, so just do as above and pick a weapon that's already easily available. Note that for some reason there are pickups outside of the playable map which don't seem to do anything.

4. BattleBike_Tex
- The two bikes in Ant's crate still need their textures from here. When you open the map you will notice that the package already shows up in the Texture browser. Right-click and 'rename' each texture in turn, only changing the Package to myLevel. Save the map and shut UEd, but do not save changes to BattleBike_Tex. The meshes you have put in will then self-update to the myLevel versions.

Everything should work fine afterwards :ssmile:

Edit: If anyone wants to take a look at the map beforehand, I made a quick edit without the weapon bases with the custom weapons on, the ShieldCharge emitters and the bikes in the crate, so that the map no longer relies on anything custom. Download is here.

Shards, thanks for taking the time to help out! I absolutely don't have enough minutes in my day to be able to offer in depth corrections.

A word of caution here...if any mappers want their work to be seen on Monster Mash, please think twice about using custom weapons in your map!

Please remember to myLevel any other custom content! With the huge number of files involved in running the servers, it's imperative that things be kept as tidy as possible. Anything you can do to keep me from having to chase down or handle stray files will increase the likelihood that I'll have more time to get your map on the test server. By myLeveling content you'll also ensure that it can be played by everyone who downloads it. no matter where they get the file.

[Nelsoncarmo26]

Mouse, how's the progress with your map?

How you doing in there?

[Anonymouse]

I guess the 2 custom weaps will be taken out and, the ripper and enhanced deemer? Are they automatic to be in mylevel? My computer with unrealed broke and I'm waiting for my dad to fix it :swondering:

Shards, I'm impressed on what you have done to help us all out, and I will try and finish asap because of the new info :salute:

[Skyline]

There are several Ripper files which you need if you want to use it in the map; AFAIK the Enhanced Redeemer is on Choco's Dome of Doom, and the file is called EHRedeemer.u . Once you've played a map with either in just extract the file(s) with a cache extractor and you should be good to go.

[DW_Ant]

I should add that it's a bad idea to have the enhanced deemer on small maps. Please only place the deemer if you have the space for it.
