Code: Select all

MapChecker: Actor with changed properties and without bNoDelete or bStatic not work properly on network:
MapChecker: HellDemon25
MapChecker: HellDemon30
...
MapChecker: OMG0
MapChecker: OMG1
MapChecker: OMG2
MapChecker: OMG3
MapChecker: NukerSniper0
MapChecker: PowBaBoomFly0
MapChecker: PowBaBoomFly1
MapChecker: RocknRollBag0
...
MapChecker: Queen0
MapChecker: Queen1
MapChecker: Queen2
MapChecker: Queen3
MapChecker: Queen4
MapChecker: Queen5
...
etc ALL Monsters...
I'm not sure if MONSTER in map must be bNodelete or bStatic just because it has animations :omfg: . More to say, original animation sequence is "Fighter" which is actually missing from certain Pawns as they use different ones and... maybe some of them are not really fighters... and then... ON-Line checks demonstrated ZERO problems at this point - no network issues with them. Making Pawn bNoDelete or bStatic is not the best thing which you want to have in a MH map - it will be a mess. This is a joke...

As average this builder is useful if checks concerning nodes are involving BOT's (Path's User) height and NOT Navigation Nodes. I changed some code this way:

Code: Select all

- Open log early for use in second copy of editor (no log file here).
- Added mode for search build settings with lower values of BALANCE (minimize nodes count) - require upcoming v469e for work.

Location of any actor must be in level boundaries. from -32767 to 32767.
If not there can be problems. Brushes, outside grid not get solid geometry on build.
Attempt move such actors in group make clamp of it and ruin group order.
Select such actors in editor is hard, if you not know exact name for find them via search and so on.

Typical reason of create it - use map scale tool, or old bugged editor, where memory broken after undo paste.
Mapchecker list them, so you can easy find and make some action.

In general such actors is evidence of mapping mistakes, so need fix them.
