Tried to run a map with slopes on 2.1

[MK.exe]

So. i made a map, with slopes and tired to run it on SRB2dd.exe

Turns out the game wont work if i'm online or trying to host offline. I can play singleplayer normally with no defects.

A message appears in the console saying

'Player 1 sent a bad name change'

Help. Please. Anyone.

 

[Revan]

If I know, you must have a special exe for slopes.

 

[MK.exe]

Darn it!.

Well do you know how to fix it?

 

[~Confusion~]

I could try to figure out the problem if I had your map...

 

[MK.exe]

If i send you the map you can't physcically play it, otherwise you'll be in the same situation i'm in

I cant even Play online

'Player 1 sent a bad name change'

I cant even Play online

i think your name is broken, not your map...

 

[MK.exe]

I'm pretty sure it isn't my name, i adjusted my name after that came up in the console. and the same thing happened

I have no idea what to do...

 

[~Confusion~]

The least I could do is figure out why does it say "bad name change", because that seems out of place.

So if you want me at least to try to help you, you need to provide me the offending map...

I think it's pretty obvious by this point, but playing a map with slopes from Zone Builder won't actually give you slopes, since no updates to 2.1 mention anything functioning towards slopes, the most you can try to do is find an exe that can properly run slopes. Sadly, none have been distributed to the public, and some may have been leaked. Either way, you might just want to enjoy the view of the level from Zone Builder.

There may be a chance that using slopes online could be the cause of your corrupt name, I suggest sticking to Single player till an exe comes out.

 

[MK.exe]

I sent you the wad via private message Confusion, Do not,by all means open it in game

Yeah i found that out the hard way as it seems

...Why? Will atomic war break out if I do?

Not quite, you'll just be in the same situation i'm in,

No access to Mutiplayer

 

[~Confusion~]

I'm so insane that I've actually opened it in-game, and hosted a private server with it.
The results:

So far, I'm doing fine. No crashes\bad names\multiplayer problems.

No slopes, but that's to be expected.
And in software mode it just shows HOMs in place of slopes.

Not bad, so yeah, MK, you might have to change your name to something simple. Maybe the level will be playable.

 

[MK.exe]

This is has just completly baffled me. Alrighty i guess it was my name -_-

That much should have been self-explanatory from the error message you got in the first place.

What was the name were you using?

 

[Volkatrace]

I guess he tried a colored name. Mostly of those messages are sent when the player renamed himself with non-ASCII characters.

 

[MK.exe]

My name is

**MK.exe**()

[MK.exe]

[sluggard]

The exe itself crashes for me, ATI Radeon HD7850, any solution ?
