Arena tables

I can't seem to get the game to recognize tables that I write offline.

Any others having this problem?

When I create settings offline for a terrain and save them, they automatically upload if I choose that tableset when creating a custom arena. BUT the pln table (field and plane selections) does not load - I have to reset countries and enable/disable all the planes per how I want them to be.  So I get all the arena settings but not the planesets I want.

It seems that when you write arena tables and save them they will show in the arena config files for H2H arenas but not as tables for the primary arenas like AvA.

This means that CM's can't make a setup ahead of time and just load it, but have to manually setup everything online.

Oversight on the part of the developers I am hoping.  Sometimes re inventing the wheel to add changes, one might forget a routine switch or thing-a-ma-bob that was not included with the update.  I sure hope this will be a part of an upcoming patch.

I'm not sure if it was working before, as I didn't try it (dummy me), but I just tried this since there's a new patch out today...

Create custom arena.
Go to arena tables and select the tables you want.
Click upload to host.
It will cycle through every plane type and every field.
When it's done, all your tables are set - variables, fields and planes.

I had to re-upload the MOTD, but at least I didn't have to hand-pick every plane at every field.

Only works in custom arenas, for online HTC arenas CM's can no longer save tables for later upload and have to setup all the planes by hand.

Jimson, can you give me a step by step of what you're doing to upload your tables to the online arena?

[jimson]

Thanks Pyro, I will do that as soon as I can, I need some time to experiment, so I can give a clear and concise report.
