TS12 Multiplayer, share route

[mikson]

Hi.


How can I share my own map for friend for multiplayer gaming?

Welcome to the forums.

In order to use a map for multiplayer, it must be uploaded to the Download Station, and it's session and all dependencies must be either built-in or available from the Download Station.

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks

Ok, I uploaded all sessions and route, all dependencies are either built-in. What's next?

 

[shaneturner12]

Once it appears on the Download Station, you will need to delete your local copy and download the copy that is on the Download Station - it will then become available to use for Multiplayer (in the Routes or the Multiplayer menu (if available).

I will try, thanks

Be aware that it can take up to 48 hours to appear on the Download Station - use the Download Station link above and enter the name of your route into the search box to check.

Also note that you need to add the multiplayer rule to the session if you have not already done that.

Thank you all very much for your help!

One more question.
When I upload my map on the DLS i get this massage:

Content upload failed.

Reason: No thumbnail image found for the asset

How can I add "icon" (image) to my map?

 

[shaneturner12]

You will need to make a .jpg file of width 240 and height 180 - save this in the asset's folder.

Once this is done, open the config.txt file and add the following:

thumbnails
{
0
{
image "screenshot.jpg"
width 240
height 180
}
}

Replace screenshot.jpg with whatever you named your .jpg file.

yes and once you get that done you two probably won't be able to play because you will get a massage that said that the session
can't be used for assets are not on DLS or built-in even thought they are.
They (N3V) sure screwed up this game.

It does not work!

It does not work!

It's my config.txt file before changes (sorry if you won't understand something - I am from Poland and names of stations are Polish):
http://wklej.org/id/1057351/txt/

And after changes:
http://wklej.org/id/1057352/txt/

It's my 240 x 180 picture, named "image.jpg":

And result :
http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7973/mikson201306040004.jpg

Of course, I put "picture.jpg" in folder with the file "config.txt".

What's failed? Please help.

thumbnails
{
0
{
image "image.jpg"
width 240
height 180
}
}

category-region                         "00"
category-era                            "2010s"

thumbnails
{
}

Your config file has two thumbnail tags; remove the last one (and the related {} ).

 

[mikson]

Ok, my config.txt now:
http://wklej.org/id/1057577/txt/

Nothing changed.

 

[oknotsen]

I only see an empty tag that could be wrong, but thats it.

description-pl

Either remove it or enter a description.
Doubt that causes the problem though.

 

[mikson]

I've removed it.
Nothing changed.

Hello Mikson, there is an easier way to add a thumbnail for people such as myself who are not too clever with computers. This is a step by step "dummies" guide.
Content Manager, select your Route, "view in Content Manager Plus", click on small square below "File". Select "Thumbnails, select "add a thumbnail" Width is 240. Height is 180. Then click on square with 3 dots next to "new" Select the picture you are wish to use as your thumbnail. When done "save" your work. Go back to Content Manager and go into "edit" as before but this time select "Commit".

 

[mikson]

Hello.
Thank you for your help.
I did it, but now I have following error in Content Manager Plus:

Error: $tet_cantrenamearray)

 

[shaneturner12]

That error means that you are trying to edit the name of a container (like the thumbnails one) using CCP.
