The map that my friend and I have been working on, well when I want to join the game and test the map with him, it says "Unable to join game".
I used SCM Draft 2 to make this map. It might be a trig, idk, anyone ever get this before?

Sleeping wolves wake hungry.

Check the colours in the map title.

Some colours aren't allowed in titles, and disables the map from being played multiplayer.

Also they cant be in force names, but not sure. Remove all colors and other special characters from them.

👻 👾 👽 💪

They can be in force names, they just wont be parsed. Stuff like & and text-align bytes wont work in map name.

Stacked text and text aligning, and newlines cause this problem when put in the map title.

Ok, think we got it, might be an illegal character.

As for the colors, havnt put in any just yet, will keep in mind not to put it in those places.

Thanks for the help, still working on it.

Ok well no illegal characters, and shortened the map saved name also, and still wont work. No colors on anything in the map just yet..

Try completely changing the title of the map and see if it works.

Also, it may be that you have no active players. Try setting the players to human and placing start locations for the respective players.

Ok, all players are set as humans except for 1, against a comp, and have start locations. Also it wont allow me to change the map title, all I can do is delete characters, not add them.



None.

Can you attach the map so I can take a look at it?



None.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
