Do you have the map?


And mostly there's no one ingame when there is no RP in session, we usually have more RPs in weekends, but you may see people there RPing mid-week.

Hi Shoot,

thanks for your reply. Im not sure if I do or not. I don't suppose you would be so kind to provide me with a download link so that I can make sure that I have the map.

Thanks

Hmmm... I do not know where to download the map. Do you see a Star Trek TNG looking combadge on the map picture, or the bridge or something else, also, was the server either Spicy or Teriyaki you tried connecting?

Hi,


I believe this is the map - http://www.last-outpost.net/filesdb/?file=70 (http://www.last-outpost.net/filesdb/?file=70)


Normally I would download it and check, but I'm restricted to a limited mobile connection currently. If the .pk3 file inside is rpg_voy4.pk3 then it is the correct one.


It could also be something else causing the kick back to the main menu. Open the console (press the key under esc on your keyboard) and type '/com_hunkMegs 512'. Without the quotes.  You'll have to restart the game for this to take affect.


If neither of those work, please follow the instructions in this thread and paste a copy of your log in here. (Try to use the Voyager map before getting the log, so it will generate the error code for us). http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/topic,5446.0.html (http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/topic,5446.0.html)

Hey there!


The most activity is usually during SRPs at the weekend (you can find out more about SRPs here: http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/board,16.0.html (http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/board,16.0.html) )


Like Callum said, Voy 4 is quite intensive, so if you haven't already done the '/com_hunkmegs 512' command then that's probably the issue.


You should have the map unless you're using an old client, as I believe both UE and SE come with it.

thanks both ill try this

Yeah, UE and SE come with the map, aswell as RPG_Poseidon_B and RPG_Runabout, unless you're using an old version of SE, then it might not be there.

That happens when the map loads normally. The problem lies somewhere else. Open your developer console with the ` key and type /map RPG_Voy4 to try and load it locally.

Hi there,

I have done this and the map more or less loads there a few errors for e.g messages and objects wont load after I was in astrometrics and the omega was detected it failed to load the messages. I have also noticed that I cant join any servers it just throws me back to the main screen. Ive tried to delete the game and re-installing it.

Almost sounds like missing rank sets. If you can't join any servers

Are you launching the game directly through the .exe, or are you using one of the shortcuts created by the installer? This is important.
Title: Re: rpg_voy4 [RESOLVED]
Post by: Dexter83aus on October 21, 2016, 05:09:10 AM
Hi Serris,

I am using a shortcut from the installation folder and the shortcut is sent from the folder to the desktop.
Title: Re: rpg_voy4 [RESOLVED]
Post by: Klaw on October 21, 2016, 05:59:07 AM
The shortcut you're using - would you be so kind as to right click. Go to properties and copy and paste the path (I think it's path)

The current line of thinking here, I suspect, is that your shortcut is starting Holomatch, not RPG-X
Title: Re: rpg_voy4 [RESOLVED]
Post by: Dexter83aus on October 21, 2016, 07:14:03 AM
sure I think this is right.

C:\Program Files\RPG-X Ultimate Edition

you are correct I am however I change the mod to rpg

Hi,


Sorry for not helping much on this, been away mostly due to lack of internet.


For RPG-X to load correctly you need a few extra parameters to be in the shortcut you use to start the game.


If you have the shortcut that the installer created for you on your Desktop, please try launching the game via that.


If you don't, right click the EXE in the install location select 'Send To' and then 'Desktop (create shortcut)'.  With that new shortcut, right click it and select properties.  In the target line, go to the end and outside of the double quotes ", paste the below in.
+set fs_homepath C:\Program Files\The Last Outpost RPG-X Ultimate Edition +set fs_game RPG-X2 +set vm_ui 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_cgame 0


Once you have done that it should look something like this:
G:\Program Files (x86)\The Last Outpost RPG-X Ultimate Edition\quake.exe" +set fs_homepath G:\Program Files (x86)\The Last Outpost RPG-X Ultimate Edition +set fs_game RPG-X2 +set vm_ui 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_cgame 0


Note, I have my RPG-X installed on another hard drive which is why it's on G:\, I've renamed my EXE to quake.exe, and I have a 64-bit system so it's in my 32-bit program files folder (x86).  Based on your last post yours will be on your C:\ drive and in your program files folder, not the (x86) one.


After you've done that, attempt to launch the game from that shortcut you've just created and then try and load the map.

What server are you trying to join?


EDIT:  I just looked in the server browser, the server 'Memoria Centrale' uses a rank set that Ultimate Edition doesn't have.  So if you're trying to connect to that server, that is likely the reason.


To test the map open the console and type '/map rpg_voy4'
Title: Re: rpg_voy4 [RESOLVED]
Post by: Dexter83aus on October 21, 2016, 08:05:40 AM
it works fine when I load the map in console :/ so what does that mean I cant join that server ?
Title: Re: rpg_voy4 [RESOLVED]
Post by: Callum603 on October 21, 2016, 08:16:53 AM
Without getting the required rank set, no, you can't join that server.[/font]


The actual error you were getting would have been further up in your console log, it looked like this: https://gyazo.com/1338f50e04a8a89413366a6bc30681b4 (https://gyazo.com/1338f50e04a8a89413366a6bc30681b4)


You can switch the map on one of our servers (Spicy or Teriyaki) by calling a vote.


I believe it would be something like '/callvote map rpg_voy4' (I very rarely call a vote, so that may be the wrong command...)


So long as a majority press F1 (yes) the server will switch to the new map, if no one but you are on, you'll be able to switch to the map as 100% of the server will agree to change.

Thank you everyone for your help., this truly is a great community that you have. I very much appreciate it.

How do I earn the rank needed to join the server ?

I am on a server now if anyone would like to join me ? im on voyager
Title: Re: rpg_voy4 [RESOLVED]
Post by: Callum603 on October 21, 2016, 08:26:05 AM
You don't need any special rank to join our servers, they're both public.


You can connect to either by using:


/connect spicy.last-outpost.net
or
/connect teriyaki.last-outpost.net


The servers should also appear in the browser in game named 'The Last Outpost Spicy 2.3 | ....' and Teriyaki for the Teriyaki server.


If you're interested in joining an SRP, check here http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/board,16.0.html for the SRP specific details.  A member of the RPG-X Staff can probably give better info on ongoing role-plays etc than I can.

I'm afraid I can't right now, just sorting out some things IRL.


If I've got some time before the site maintenance later and you're still about I'll jump on.

Different servers use different rank sets.
A rank set is the list or ranks you can set your character to be on the server. For instance, mainly we use the TLO rank set here at TLO.
But during the Daedalus SRP, we use the Daedalus Rank set. This makes the rank look like Enterprise era ranks rather than TNG ranks.


A rank set itself is just a file you would add into your game. Memorial Centrale and their server isn't linked with TLO so we don't have their rank set that I can give you to download.
