Disconnection Problem

by Eric Rogers ER · in General Discussion · 08/18/2008 (8:31 am) · 2 replies

When I try to run one of my missions, an error message pops up saying
"You do not have the correct version of the FPS Starter kit or the related art needed to play on this server, please contact the server operator for more information. (Invalid packet.)

I have no idea what's going on.

Any info would be nice...
Thanks

Hey Eric,

Open up your console.log with something like notepad and look around towards the end. More than likely it will be complaining that it can't find a particular texture or object. If you've added a new model or something like that, make sure all the textures are in the models directory, paying specific attention to the one that wasn't found.

If you haven't added anything, you can cheat to get the level to load by creating a "dummy" art asset, for example it says it can't find "\data\shapes\trees\leaf.png". Just create a png (power of 2, i.e. 64x64,128x128, etc.), give it the name leaf.png and drop it in that directory. The mission should load then, and more than likely you'll see where the actual issue is because that texture will be being used somewhere.

Hope this helps,
Alan

As Alan notes, check your console.log. Most likely a particle asset or a DIF texture is not where it belongs.
