Orc Arena

[Joncable]

Hello everyone. I've been a long time fan, been playing on and off since ms was first released. Decided to finally register as I couldn't find anyone else with the same problems I've been having.

I don't seem to have Orc_Arena. I've downloaded the full installer from at least 3 different places from the one's listed on the main site. But they never seem to have Orc_Arena. Also now with the new maps Ocean_Crossing and Smugglers_Cove, I can't seem to load Smugglers_Cove. I get an error about a missing palm tree model in the nimble folder. Another problem I have is that i'm not able to create a lan server that my friends can see. I have vista and they both have xp. I can see their servers but they can't seem to see mine. I've tried sv_lan and what not but that didn't seem to solve the problem. So if anyone is able to help me with these problems that would be great, thanks.

Orc_arena is gone, dude. It was considered a 'cheat map' and made illegal to use on FN.

I think Thothie just removed XP from the map. I'm pretty sure you can still play it on FN.

Still play on FN? That sounds like the stupidest idea ever. Who the hell would play on a map with no exp??? Now If I was allowed, I could try making a 'remake' of that map which would be longer and less 'cheatmappish.' I don't think I would be allowed though.

Ahh okay, well that would probably explain it. However, Thothie's page is a little misleading then as it says Orc Arena is included in the installer. Alright, well what about any of my other problems? The palm tree or lan server.

 

[Thothie]

Actually Orc_Arena was supposed to be in the installer, but it kinda slipped out... No great loss. If I remove it now it'll mess up the table symmetry. But yeah, it was a rather pathetic speed training map, and 0 xp as a result, thus not really worth resurrecting.

if your friends can't see your LAN server under the steam menus then get them to try direct connecting to your IP (If it's on LAN and not just a listen server then use your LAN IP otherwise external IP). I don't know why but I've had trouble getting friends to join via steam friends or by LAN. They just direct connect or connect through the global list when sv_lan is 0 (it always is now).

Alright thanks, i'll try that later tonight as i'm kinda lazy right now. But what about the palm tree thing for Smugglers Cove or is the model missing because its still a work in progress?

 

[Thothie]

It maybe Rickler used one of the Lodagond trees thinking it was part of the standard install when it wasn't. Not sure - you'd have to give me the exact model name. (Or just go download Lodagond 2-4 as well)

Ricker has new versions of both Oceancrossing and Smuggler's cove, but there are already so many versions of both running about that I'm afraid I'm going to have to stick them both into the betapack to get everyone in sync.

Okay great, I see the palm tree model was in Lodagond pack. Alrighty, well thanks for everyone's help. Back to playing now.
