AotCR MP and The Library MP: problems, please help

bobthehobo · Post by **bobthehobo** » Sat May 22, 2004 10:39 am

I have a problem: i have the Library MP v1.1 map, and i try to join a library server, and i get an exception error. And i know for a fact i installed everything right.

Can someone please tell me what the problem is? is there a new version out or, the map i am trying to join was made by someone different than the one i have?

Oh and this happens with AotCR MP, except i have version 1.3 and i think no one really went back and got that one...

Any ideas?

This happened to me when i first played the library. Whenever someone used a nuke, i got an exception error. It turned out that i had installed the bitmap.ppf incorrectly. Samething happened with Forest Gulch when i tried to use a skin that wasn't part of the map. Maybe the aoctr and library bitmaps are conflicting.

well that would suck, considering i like to play both of them...

maybe i will just stick with AotCR for now. so ur saying put the original bitmaps.map file back (yes i have a copy) and ONLY put the AotCR PPF on that one?

Replace all your maps with un-modded ones.
Apply the ppf's for AotCR.
Get on Halo.
Play AotCR.
If it works, try installing the library.
Hopefully both will work.
y do you want to play library anyways? too big

yeah it is pretty big but, if lots of people play it, it's mad fun

i saw a 13/16 library game yesterday, and i wanted to join but couldnt...due to my current situation

its not a bad map, i like flying up to the tiers and sniping

Guys, remember, when you patch your UI, it turns all instances of the name Chiron (And the rest of it's name) into "The Library." That 13/16 person server was most likely a Chiron server, not a Library server. Looks can be decieving. If it doesn't have Halomods or Library in it's name, then don't join it.

wait wait wait...i thought that map name in the server list displayed how it was cuz host patched its UI, not me..

so ur telling me because of my UI it looks like that? no wonder....
