Appropriate Teams

Hello,

Sorry if this question has been asked before; I tried searching with many different keywords but couldn't find anything.

I often play FF in a LAN environment, typically with four or less players, and we quite enjoy playing custom maps. However, I've noticed that when I host most custom maps (such as duel1 and the new Christmas map) on a non-dedicated server, I'm presented four teams when there are supposed to be two. I can select a team, but not a class. Is there some kind of command I need to enter to limit the number of teams or something?

Thanks,

grayscare0

This happens because you are missing the .lua file for the map. Usually happens if you DL'd the map automatically from the server.

Try DL'ing it manually from any of the FF map sites (euh... someone can post the links please? D=!)

Thanks for the response. I thought it was related to the .lua file, but I thought that was included in the autodownload. Thanks again. =)

It all depends on how the mapper laid out the .res file weather you get the .lua or not. you can find the xmass map in the mapping section.

This is one of the things we'd like to address in a future patch.

As it stands now, when your Lua is either:

a) missing

or

b) broken (didn't close a tag, bad code, etc.)

you get what many testers and devs have dubbed the Four Teams of Doom (or FToD).

What we'd like to do is for there to be a default Lua that loads up - just the basic stuff so you can actually spawn - along with a message at the beginning of the map. Something along the lines of "Error! The Lua file for this map is either missing or broken. Please check the console for errors."

I refuse to take any blame for such idiocy.
