2 world builder questions [making 1st map]. Hope someone can help me :)....

[RichSz]

so my map is shaping up.

1)in skirmish-the AI player doesnt do a thing. i just played hard ai and he did nothing at all, just his base and thats it. How can i overcome this.

2)[important one] I tried to play this map with a friend online in multiplayer. When the game was starttting to load a message popped up saying something along the lines of "the game is having problem uploading the map to the game server" or maybe it read "gamespy is having problem uploading map to game server".

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Could anyone tell me please how i can use my map online with people, thanks . By online i mean through the normal method not strictly LAN. More the general meaning of online, where u can play anyone who decides to load up kanes wrath. thanks again.

Hope someone can help me out

i managed to play the map with a friend. I have a suspicion that it was because i didnt play it 1st in skirmish [so the game could import the map 1st of all].

If you want to add anything to this thread people please feel free to do so. i wouldnt mind reading any comments regarding the 2 points i mentioned in the original post. thanks again

note-i actually amended some of the map so ive actually tried different versions of my map in game. so each time i rework the map i think i need to try in skirmish mode 1st for the game to be familiar with the map.

1st problem when you were 1st making the map did you you go to edit and go to add skirmish players from the player list?

and 2nd problem i can play&upload a map online, i just created without playing in skirmish, so i am not so sure you have to play it each time in skirmish before playing online,

and if you don't mind me asking are you running on windows 7?

sos for delay with comment. When i made my map i heard waypoints was how u setup player positions. I will look into this add skirmish player thing though, thanks for this tip. As for the other thing. Maybe it was an odd glitch. perhaps from my friends side of things? Though with another frined it worked fine and with other players to as i played 2v2 a couple of times on my new map. I am running Windows 7 thats ok to ask . The 64 bit version to. 1 other thing, is there something u can do so that when u are testing your map it becomes obsolete [for other people who obtained the map] after the game in the sense that other people cant use it again and in turn prevent the map to be passed onto others. Id like to maybe have a finish version up and online before say draft versions go around the net ^^. Just a little gripe if there is a way to do this . No drama if not though. Look forward to a reply.
