Having to constantly patch maps?

[Xeropace]

For example. I do Calruin2 once. Then if I do it again, Calrian doesn't drop any gold or items, and even worse the blacksmith doesn't even TRY to spawn a mace (it doesn't even say Nothing! it just doesn't even try, no effects, nothing).

Also on Foutpost, sometimes the chest is there, sometimes there is no chest... I can't seem to control why, I'm constantly patching and applying the updates and it still doesn't work.

For calruin2, if you don't do the seals, you won't get a drop...But yeah, patch your maps...But make sure it actually patched...I usually delete backups, then patch.

I do the seals.

I can tell if it isn't patched because, you know how Calrian drops a few bags of gold and a scroll/tome/mace. Well when he dies, nothing happens, not even his corpse has gold on it.

I do patch, I'm patching after every map I play and it doesn't work. It seems to be totally random :S

Make sure that the "Last Modified" matches when you do the patch...Like I said, I delete the backups, then patch. Also try running the ripent and hclsg files too.

Patching doesn't affect whan Calrian drops, only the Black Smith's anvil.

What's stopping my Calrian dropping his gold and mace then?
What's stopping the chest on foutpost spawning?

I ran the AUGb patch, attempted to patch maps and nothing happened. So I ran the file in the maps folder. It still didn't work.

someone joined my server saying my maps weren't patched


I installed MSC 1.0, AugB, and I patched them in the installer. I was also able to connect to FN, so how are my maps not patched? (several people told me they weren't)

Rilez - I have a feeling that if we answer you, some people will get ideas ;-)

No idea on the first two questions, but it is certainly true, your maps are not patching. If they patch proper, you'll see a DOS window ticking them off one at a time like so.



Also, make sure you have the VS2005 libraries installed for the map patcher when the installer prompts you.



If yer using something other than Winderz XP, ye may have issues.

I clicked yes to install that, and yes to install patches.

The DOS window pops up and closes instantly when I patch through the installer. However when I run the msc_update_forgot the rest, that's inside the MSC maps folder, I get what you just showed me and it works. How ever, it only works for one playthrough.

For e.g, I patch, do Calrian2, everything works, now if I say go back to Edana, then back to Calrian2 (Note the server hasn't gone down since then) it's suddenly unpatched again >_<

I have no idea what it's doing, foutpost is the only other map I'm having problems with. I may he having problems with others, just haven't found it yet.

I can't think of anything within the scope of the patch that would cause it to "unpatch".

Could be odd disk access software, linux permissions, remote drive, raid setup, something along those lines, but there's no mechanism in MSC for undoing the patches.

Multiple Steam accounts may also cause that, I suppose. Ye would have to patch each account. If ye are running a dedicated server, that must be patched seperately. A GUI dedicated server may sometimes port its files to the client which maybe would cause that too.

 

[Xeropace]

Well my hard drive is going to hell right now so if that has anything to do with it...

And I too am confused about in magically unpatching, it really doesn't make sense. I only use my listen server and one steam account right now. I need to get a new router before I start up my dedicated again, but I need to fix my computers hardware issues first, or the server will crash every few minutes =/

I have been having issues with the calruin2 patch and the challs patch, i finally got challs to patch when i patched it manually with ripent, but calruin2 comes up with an error and will not patch no matter what I try.
