Problem with User-created Maps and LAN Multiplayer Game

[0adler]

Hi,

Every time we play a multiplayer game with a skirmish map that we created with Atlas we are encountering a strange problem. Normal gameplay works perfect, there are no error messages. But if we save the game, and load it later to continue, the game comes up with a kind of default map. Also the AI-opponents are gone, but that could happen, because the now loaded map doesn't have the same number of players.

I did already quite some research, but cannot really find any solution for this problem. Am I the only affected, maybe because there is an error with the map or is this a known bug? What can I do? Please help, We love this game!

Cc @phosit looks like a bug with MP saved games.

If the map doesnt have the same number of players though that's weird

Instead of the user map it just uses the map that is first in the list of skirmish maps, and that map happens to have just 2 players, not 4. So I guess it just uses the first two players, which are the human ones, the Petra-bot players 3 and 4 are jmaybe just dropped as there is no slut in the wrong map.

If it helps, I can provide the map files, too?

Thank you very much for your quick answer and of course for your work!

Do you have the same mods loaded when you play the saved game ? Any errors ?

Yes we used exactly same versions of 0ad mod (0.27.0) and community-mod (0.27.2). The game's version itself is on borth clients Build 14.07.20025 (release-a27.1, 6a576). The map was designed with the editor (Atlas) that comes with that version and was placed into %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\0ad\mods\user\skirmishes\. Skirmish maps that come with 0ad work as expected, though. Strange that no one else came along with this problem. Besides it's a huge map.

So that's user maps, mmh. Does that happen with community mod maps as well ?
