FAQ Q : The custom map doesn't appear in my Skirmish Menu A : You have not set the UDKmenu.ini file to include the corresponding map. It is a matter of Copy and Paste, but for simplicity sake, just click F5 and type 'open [mapname]' replace [mapname] with your custom map name, including the 'cnc-' prefix Q : I get an Ambiguous Package warning A : You put 2 same files in different places. Check your game directory and delete the file that has been wrongly put Q : Some textures are missing and I can't play online A : You either didn't install the package, or you have an ambiguous package issue or your package is outdated, OR you have placed the packages in the wrong place. Though the later is not very likely, always check if you have installed everything properly Q : I see UDKGame folder in the zip file A : Some people like me tries to save you the trouble on placing the files on the right place one by one. Now all you need to do is insert the UDKGame folder to the game directory. Have it 'overwrite' the folder Q : The UDKGame folder is inside another folder that is not related to the game's own folder. A : Only extract the UDKGame folder. Skip the parent folder Q : I'm stuck in the loading screen A : Your game is precompiling the shaders of the map. It only happens the first time you play it. In online game, you might get disconnected once. Simply rejoin

Ah, the custom maps.... Many has managed to figure out how to install these. Here, I will try helping the minority who hasn't managed to get it right 1. Open up the compressed packages 2. Open up your game directory, to UDKGame folder 3. Extract the files in this manner a. Files that ends with .udk goes to UDKGame/CookedPC/Maps/RenX b. Files that ends with .upk goes to UDKGame/CookedPC/RenX. From then on, most people will tell you to put it into the Environments folder. Do so, unless the creator tells you to place it somewhere else c. Files that ends with .u only goes to UDKGame/CookedPC. During online play, it is not necesary because the files are usually small enough to download. But you need this for Skirmish d. Do NOT replace .ini files. This will change your settings. Instead look for any changes necessary and place it on your own .ini file under the same filename That's it. You're done! Now you can go open this map by clicking F5 then type open [mapname]. Don't forget to include the 'CNC-' prefix as well

Sounds like you have something against Marathon. I'm not much of a fan of it and my first game was AoW... but Marathon server is currently the most popular now... I mean yeah, Field and Under might be quite tedious... but I think most people are getting used to EKT mine limit (one time someone dissed on TmX's low mine limit and call it unplayable)

It's out already. Maybe go download the maps and check on Sunday. Where we (try to) hold the Test Night. Of course you're free to extend your wait until the autodownloader is up

Updating All maps Coastal : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing Coastal Small : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing Rocket Hill : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing Also fixes any problem for those who installs Coastal first then Coastal Small or Rocket Hill. They share same packages, but Coastal once had the most up to date ones. Now all of them are up to date

Ok, let's revamp your script.

Just fix things that needs to be fixed EDIT : Replace : for(i=0; i < VehiclesInVolume.Length; i++) { if(Vehicle(Other) == VehiclesInVolume[i]) VehiclesInVolume.RemoveItem(i--, 1); } To : VehiclesInVolume.RemoveItem(Vehicle(Other));

EKT is always full in its' prime time (11 hours from now) while a few are either on TheMatrixRen or Testing Server (Ironically some of us TmX members decided to have fun on the latter)

My FPS is NOT okay tho. hovering from 8-10 Also, need PT scene

Hmmmmm try foreach spawnedblockingmeshes(mesh) or. add local integer (i) and replace that foreach with for (i = 0; i > SpawnedBlockingMesh.length; i++) { SpawnedBlockingMesh[i].Destroy(); } SpawnedBlockingMesh.Length = 0;

You forgot Class in foreach SpawnedBlockingVolume (see allactors foreach for reference)

Beta 0.2.3 : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing Patch Changelist - Fixes Giant Turrets having Hovercraft's weapons - Adds more rocks on Hovercraft tunnel - Adds Obelisk blocking rocks to prevent Obelisk from sniping GDI on the Refinery weak spot cliffs - Darken water, increasing water plane size to match with the texture tiles

Next installment of Coastal, more bug and glitch fixes

Ok, thx for the cleanup btw. It won't happen again. I'll PM Thommy next time

One problem : There is no thread about Training Yard

I guess it's official now. We're going to start the event to each Sunday afternoon in US Time, which means the start of evening in Europe (but you can come in later if there's still more peeps). Our last Test Night got us up to 8-9 in Eyes and Training Yard. Here's a compilation of Screenshot taken by SuchConquer/EWandelart http://www.thematrixren.net/index.php?/ ... p-testing/ Of course, it's open everyday so you can come in outside these dates

Sorry Dotts. After the incident with Tokiyo and sxmchn (he was still never heard from again btw....), we cannot risk breaking anyone else's game just for our own fun I'm gonna hard-lock the sandbox mod to only summon things from renx_game and UTGameContent and UTGame just to be on the safe side. This means no more summoning Titans unless it's implemented officially

Uuuuuuh can you remove my mod from the server? I believe it's wrecking the game files for clients who doesn't have certain summoned packages.

Thanks, B0NG

No, it can be done with PostProcessing as well, but the game has the option to turn it off. Might also be able to be done with thick fogs like my Coastal's rain cycle

This Sunday night then?

Beta 0.2.2 : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing Patch changelist - Fixes collision volume on Nod tiberium hill. It's now realigned back to the edge that leads to the field - Removes dead chem trooper that floats on the Nod coasts - Giant turrets now possesses mammoth tank weapons - Added more SAM sites to middle coasts - Reduces GDI GT in the main entrance by two - Added cliffs behind GDI Refinery. Now Nod long range infantries can drop off from aircrafts and assault GDI Refinery from behind - Fixes GDI defensive sniper point on GDI infantry path entrance - Raises the height of the rock mountains to prevent unwanted sniper exploit points, except one hole nearby Nod base which is saved for easter egg spot

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yEH_ ... sp=sharing Coastal 2.2, some minor fixes here and there. Also, new assault path for Nod to blow up ref. Needs air vehicles

Okay, while the Day/Night cycle seems cool, we really need to test how much impact it can make. I tried to tweak brightness of my Directional Light through matinee this one time and the result was quite horrible performance-wise

Good question....

It's quite a big issue. You did not define what PC is. You only tell the function that it's of a PlayerController type, but did not determine which PlayerController in the current world PC is referring to. Unfortunately I don't know how to get all PlayerControllers, except maybe with ForEach.
