Ok, its quite odd. Im trying to test my map on UDP and I get the map file is still being distributed when its just me, myself and I in teh lobby(plus 3 computers)

My force names are normal, my title is normal except for an "&" and my file name is normal except for an "&," "[" and "]". But, Ive seen these in a multitude of other maps without this error...

What is wrong here...!?!



None.

I'm not so sure if '&' doesn't cause trouble. Just try removing it and hang me if my hunch was incorrect. ;)

Other than that I've only general ideas which shouldn't cause that exact error:
- Are units placed out of the map boundaries (aka very near to the edge)?
- Have you placed start locations for all players?
- Some weird player/force settings?

I once had the same thing too, the problem is invalid characters in the file name (for example i had + in it).



None.

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen

Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
