Custom Maps

[Moroten]

Hey.

Just downloaded the patch where you get the custom maps in MP. Tried to get a game going with the Continents Plus script but couldn't find it on the list. Does it not count as "custom map"? Is there a way for me to solve this problem?

Would appreciate the help!

I believe al parties need to have the map in their respective files in order to play it multiplayer.

A good question. I've moved ContinentsPlus.lua to /assets/maps, but still can't choose that map to host a multiplayer game.

Probably, but that shouldn't affect me when I'm choosing the worldsettings since no one is invited at that point.

You have the map DLC for continents plus?

Need to set the multiplayer value to True instead of false.

Yes, that's what you had to do before the patch, change the value in the lua, but after the patch this isn't the case anymore, right?
(I've just removed all those edited lua's)

I have now moved the file to assets/maps as well but I don't know how to set things as true or false. If it truly helps, would you mind giving me the steps so that I can make the change?

Open the .lua-file with notepad and change "SupportsMultiplayer = false" to "SupportsMultiplayer = true".
That's how it worked before. Mind you, everyone needs to have that edited file.

But after the patch custom maps and scripts should be supported out of the box, I believe?

Thanks for the help. It works now.

Reading the patch notes one would assume that all maps should work. But since these are deliberatly scripted so that they don't support MP might be the real problem.
