Please post any bugs/suggestions in this thread

Awesome...now only if the servers would stay up.

I'm supposed to get an email from a tech any time now....

[Dundradal]

Maybe something to note...as it took me by surprise.

You do not need the MMCC3 MP mod installed. BO won't let you install if it is because of a conflict in a certain file. I didn't realize this at first. I'm guessing the Mars mod is the same way but I haven't tried it so I wouldn't have noticed this before.

[Andrew Williams]

hmmm

mine installed stand alone...

It is a standalone mod and includes MP MMCC3

[Andrew Williams]

I'm getting British and AB troops becoming available... so a little data tweaking needed.

[Dundradal]

Yeah I just didn't notice is all.

You just missed me on BHQ. Damp and I were actually playing a battle...I was going to post a great screenshot of the final results with a witty comment about "Bloody Omaha" because I kicked the crap out of his US forces with an SS BG. It really was bloody.

Jump back on BHQ.

Bug
Playing as Germans against Damp
Map - dogr

When we get to the BG selection screen when I click "View Map" the game crashes with a generic error.

[Dundradal]

Bug
Playing as Germans...
Map - dogg

When I go to view the map ingame I get an error message "Rectangle provided was invalid."

[Dundradal]

Should note....

I'm running COI at 1600x1200 in case that does anything with viewing the maps.

[Andrew Williams]

Ok.. I get the same at 1024x768

Battle plays through and zoom out works in battle... seems it's just the view map before battle feature that is a problem.

[Dundradal]

Ok. I'll see if there are any others I can find tomorrow.

[Dundradal]

Just logged onto to play and I see this...

Servers need restart?

[vonB]

You too? I thought I was going nuts...

First off, when I ModSwap'd the BO MMCC3 Beta, I got the Operation Mars Banner appear. I looked in the distribution (download) plugin, and sure enough, it says Operation Mars. Curious...

When I connected, the dialog says Port 2108 for BO, so connected to that, but I then get exactly the same as you Dundradel. I think that could be the Stock CoI MMCC3 Campaign overlayed on the BO Map (or the Op Mars Campaign?), so is the Server Reset a Campaign too far back?

Anyway, my MMCC3 installation is now all over the shop, so I am having to do a bit of sorting out. The CC3Start File has vanished. So I am going to start again from scratch and check step by step to see if there are any serious wobblies going on...

Fun fun fun....

[vonB]

I just connected to Port 2108 with a stock CoI MMCC3 Campaign Client, and the Map seems to fit ok, with the Russians holding every sector, and the unplayable sectors seem to be where they should be (i.e. Sea/Mountains etc). Summinks up....

[Andrew Williams]

Yeh... the servers have been restarted with all the ports mixed up.....

I've contacted Alex

[Dundradal]

I've also noted that you have to keep installing the start files as you swap in and out MMCC3 mods. I've had to do it now several times while testing the servers.

[Andrew Williams]

As I said in the other thread...

OP-Mars and stock MMCC3 multiplayer aren't installing and removing the cc3start files... they should so I will fix and upload updates.

BO seems to be the only one doing what it should.

[Dundradal]

Yes seems that way.

[Andrew Williams]

New Op mars uploaded - only change is CC3Start swapping

[Andrew Williams]

Operation Mars Banner

Revised download with updated Banner... no other changes.

Still waiting to hear back from Matrix...

the servers are now running as a service so should restart automatically if they go down... still some technical issues to be sorted though.
