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..



None.

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.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
