Perhaps I can help you guys out... Tell me about the assets that are giving you trouble, and I will try to upload a file with the old versions of them...

I would appreciate if someone checked that my map is alright, though...

Currently downloading your pak, but it takes ages

Thanks.

I just ran around the level and took a few screenshots. Yes, there is stuff broken unfortunately ... I will send you a PM with the screenshots. I don't feel comfortable with making stuff of your map public.

Got the screenshots, thank you very much!

So it seems that the update has turned my level into an absolutely ugly pile of crap... Totally unacceptable, seriously...

I posted this on the official forums as well.

Quote We have all of the MapCore entries and the build that it was generated on (0.1.2). We'll be judging them from that point, where they were submitted in the build that they were submitted for. As for the fallout of the CTF-TitanPass update, we'd like to verify that what people are seeing as broken in their pak files is actually broken in the editor/after a re-cook as well. If that still doesn't fix things for you it would help us if you could provide more details about broken/missing items.

Otherwise as we've mentioned before our content is often subject to change as levels are being iterated on. We generally try to avoid changing things in such a way that they cause any fallout but as a rule of thumb it is always wise to at least copy out your own master material if you wish to differ from the "Official Look" (tm) of that set. It is definitely not our goal to sabotage anybody's hard work and we care to get you guys fixed up

If we can identify that some assets are missing somehow we can release them separately to get this addressed. Again, we're sorry that this issue has occurred.

Do I understand you correctly that we do not need to take immediate steps to fix it since you judge and look at the levels in an older build? I am very limited in time after the crunch time for this contest and do not see myself able to address these issues until next week in order to recook it for the contest.

Thanks, that's really good to hear!

Quote it would be appreciated if you can help identify Epic what's gone wrong (which some of you have already done).

I still have the backups, but It seems that tons of assets from the Environments -> Outside folder have changed. Lots of meshes from the Merged folder are missing to start with, and some stuff from Textures has changed too (so having a copy of the master materials didn't work here...). I have quite a lot of broken Decals aswell...

The screenshots I got from poLemin are... frightening. It's definitely not about a couple of missing assets. It's the whole level that got messed up. Fortunately, I have just managed to open it in the editor before updating, so I'm going to copy as much stuff as I can to my personal folder...

I was thinking you were going to be in trouble with yours also since it looked like you used a lot of TitanPass assets like I did. At least they will judge them on the previous build but it doesn't help the fact that my map is now an unplayable mess.

This is why I made custom assets...I lost a few nights to get it done though lol

From the map load message this is what I seem to be missing:

I'll cross post in the other thread also. Thank you guys for your hard work!

Thank you so much. I'm relieved

*heavy breathing*

edit: is it wrong that I'm trying to discern the map from the screens?

I think we all are.

NOICE!!!!!

\o/

I am wondering, will there be a short feedback for every level or will only the winners be announced?

MapCore results are in! We're planning to do a stream next week to announce results. More details coming soon! - RZE

Cool, can't wait!

Just uploaded a fixed version of my map BTW. Fortunately, the .pak was far more broken than my map's file once I opened it in the editor, and it just took a bit of work to roll back to previous backup assets.

I'm posting the new link here since the other thread is locked: DM-Batrankus_RC1c

Best of luck everyone!
