MP Lobby: Incorrect map widths and MISSING_IDS

Post by kronenblatt »

All my games (whether in My Turn, Enemy Turn, or Completed) show 24 width, while in fact being 40. (All except one, for some reason.)

This looks weird too. The 52 x 52 game is actually VERY SMALL, it says. Plus that my own module doesn't present the Sides (MISSING_IDS_SIDENAME_603, where IDS_SIDENAME_603, "Romans III", in the module).

This appears to be a display error in the MP lobby that was not picked up in the beta. (The engine MP lobby code was changed to show the ELO rankings, and I guess this bug crept in without anyone noticinig). If you actually play any of the "24 x 32" games, you will find that the maps are whatever they were set as, not 24 x 32.

This bug also affects Medieval.

Looks like we will need a hotfix once Pip has corrected the bug in the engine.

It used to be able to find the strings if the Mod was on the player's system? Thinking about it, I think it did. I will need to get Pip to fix that too.

I don't know about the 52 x 52 map thing.

Yes, it’s only the display that’s incorrect.

Thanks for looking into these things!

I believe it used to only specify whether “Side A” or “Side B”?

I don't think so, but we will see what he says.
