Players Downloading custom maps

[NLS]CrypticKyle · October 2015

I recently got a server through gameservers. I put the maps in aapg/aagame/cookedpc/maps. I can connect to the server with the maps running. But I already have them on my pc. I have joined servers that will download them upon connecting to them. My question here how do I set my server up to do that. I have looked at some config files. I edited AAEngine. Was some settings in there for allow downloads. I set it to True. When someone tries to connect it just says version mismatch. Yet works for me. If anyone could help me here that would be great.

The version in the workshop is newer/older that the files that you have.

[NLS]CrypticKyle · October 2015

I downloaded the most recent up to date files for the maps....

Keebler750 · October 2015

One thing I see is the maps don't go in the CookedPC\Maps folder but the CookedPC\UserMadeMaps folder...?

[NLS]CrypticKyle · October 2015

I was thinking that but I was not sure. I must have to create the folder on the ftp?

-=}WoLvErInE{=- · October 2015

Yes do what Keebler said. Also make sure you add the metadata file along with map in the umm folder.

[NLS]CrypticKyle · October 2015

I will give it a try when I get off work in the morning. Ill post back with results.

[NLS]CrypticKyle · October 2015

Alright I actually tried it before I left for work. I created the directory UserMadeMaps in the CookedPC directory. I upload the umap file and the meta file for the map I wanted to use. I set the server command line to run the map and restarted the server. I deleted the map from my computer before entering the server and it still says version mismatch and will not download.

someone has to know whats going on

This is what I do and it works..

Subscribe to the map you want to add to your server.
Then I go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\203290\538805155
Then to my server files
AAPG/AAGame/CookedPC
In there you should have a file called folder called usermademaps if not create one.

Then you want to add the map so upload it from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\203290\538805155

Once you upload it go to
configuration files then to AAPG\AAGame\Config\AAGame.ini
In there you need to add map name like this.

MapRotationList=FLO_MorobayuTownClear$76561198053861003_ac

Once you have done that restart your server and your done..

=U^S=_Mason · October 2015

In adition to what is posted above....
Place quotes around the map file name in order to get it to rotate on the server.
eg:
MapRotationList="FLO_MorobayuTownClear$76561198053861003_ac"

Currently the map vote widget is broken, if you run UMM's and official maps in your rotation together you will get the following in your post match Map Vote:
"CurrentMap"
"Breach_ex"
"Breach_ex"
If you remove the official maps from rotation and vote list by placing ; in front of the command line
eg:
;FLO_Breach_EX

This will eliminate those maps from the rotation, doing this will result in the map vote widget giving you the option to either, Replay Current Map or Play Next Map. I have so far been able to get the third vote box to display correctly but it's better than nothing and the Dev's are working on a fix....

Hello [NLS]CrypticKyle I saw your server and it`s working fine.
What did you do?
Couldn`t find the aaengine options to allow download.
Can you please help me?

[SWISS]Merlin · November 2015

This is NOT true for me. When "Creating" UserMadeMaps in CrookedPC, and loading into server .ini file. No maps are available or viewable in 'Switch Maps' admin console or Map Rotation.
Must add maps to CrookedPC/Maps and MapRotation in .ini file for server.

Keebler750 · July 2016

The above info on how to run UMMs is no longer valid.

...SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\America's Army\AAPG\AAGame\Config has the server configs in a folder called AAHostAServerConfig if you've already started it via Host A Server.

The maps get downloaded and stored in

...SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\America's Army\AAPG\Binaries\Win32\steamapps\workshop\content\203290 under the various Map ID numbers.

The file AASteamUGCManager.ini in the above server config folder is where the Map IDs are added in order to download and run on the server, and AAGame.ini is where the Map Rotation and Vote Lists are edited.

Tried to download this way and i have got it so far that the new map is actually showing in both MapVote and Maprotation even in AdminChangemap ?

When i do switch map though the game quits as normal and we wait rolling the video and just as it is to start the map it says kicked (Connection Lost) ?
have i done something wrong or what =
1. i have rent server from a server provider company.
2. i have followed and downloaded map and done exactly as
3. -SD-Delton Described?
4. but as i said when server joins map it directly kicks and i have to restart server so it goes to first map to get in again ?

some one who got tips for me or idea`S i have asked around no one seem's to know
i have asked my server provider though im just now waiting answer nbut i really wanna try this map hehehehe

-SD-DELTON-ACI- · September 2016

Its changed try this

Configuration Files
AAPG\AAGame\Config\AASteamUGCManager.ini

[SteamUGCManager.SteamUGCManager]
ServerSubscribedItems=(IdString=669893982)
ServerSubscribedItems=(IdString=576681355)

[AALauncher.ServerSettings]
IPAddress=dhcp
SteamPort=80
GamePort=81
QueryPort=82
GameVersion=1.0.0.0

[IniVersion]
0=1464705417.000000

If you want them on rotate

AAPG\AAGame\Config\AAGame.ini

MapRotationList=flo_DoubleImpact$76561198010761141_th
MapRotationList=flo_NewDowntown$76561198010761141_ex
MapRotationList=flo_reclaimyardc4nightime$76561198096796482_c4
MapRotationList=flo_reclaimyard2$76561198096796482_ex
MapRotationList=FLO_AA2HospitalVIP$76561198001698073_ex

If your not sure where to find IdString
Click on any map you want to add from steam and you can find it at end of address.

Delton is telling you the correct way to handle it...

=IK=Doba= · September 2016

Following that procedure..... does the server automatically update when the map is updated?

-SD-DELTON-ACI- · September 2016

Yes

Keebler750 · September 2016

Hey, Delton.....can I ask about your path to the config files? Yours seem to be in the \config folder, which for me is the location of the Default*.ini files, not the server configs. Could you clarify please, because I'm still in debug mode on this stuff...
