Gmap problem?

[racycle]

Hey can anyone help me with this problem? , i have a simple 4x4 gmap , i made the gmap in the levelgen , added custom tiles , put the gmap name in the server options and made the mgap load by a system for the server.

the problem is , i cant get any npcs to show up on it and i can only edit the first level with a OE

if it helps heres the gmap

GRMAP001
WIDTH 2
HEIGHT 2
LEVELNAMES
"temp-outside_a1.nw","temp-outside_b1.nw"
"temp-outside_a2.nw","temp-outside_b2.nw"
LEVELNAMESEND

Is the GMAP itself loading? Tried restarting the NPC Server?

The gmap was made the same as any other one i have done. I even used the same map image before. Last time i had a problem like this, it was becouse the gmap file and the levels didn't match up correctly. It seams this is not the case this time tho. Yes i have tryed restarting the npc server.

Is the gmap itself working with just the npc's not showing on it?

That's a common issue when the GMAP it self isn't showing. From my understanding a GMAP is kinda made out of 3 Layers. Apparently your Gmap is only loading the first layer. Try these few common problems to make sure its not on your end.
Check server options to make sure the GMAP is added correctly with out the extension. If you added any setmaps or loadmaps (Serverside) for beta testing, remove them. Finally make sure folder configuration is set correctly.
Ex:
level kaljun/*.nw
level kaljun/*.gmap
file kaljun/*.gmap
file kaljun/images/*.png
file kaljun/images/*.gif
file kaljun/*.*ng
file kaljun/*.gif
file kaljun/*.txt

And if folder configuration is correct make sure the gmap is in its appropriate destination.

this might sound silly, but many people forget to drag over the ".gmap" file. Check that you did, and that it's the correct one.

Does the the gmap work offline?

the gmap loads offline fine it just wount let me edit the levels online properly and i cant get npcs to show, i checked the server options,folder config , and yes its in the folders

I just tryed a 1x2 gmap and got the same problem also tryed a 1x3. When i tryed the 2x2 gmap, now i can only edit the top 2 levels online but still no npcs showed up on any of them

I'm trying to sort out the problems you're having with the gmap and found several things that are wrong here.

1. I disabled bigmap=bigmap.txt and minimap=minimap.txt. These will break a gmap in a heartbeat.

2. unstickmelevel=gmap2.gmap.nw doesn't exist

3. If the levels you showed as an example in your first post are the actual level names, they also do not exist. They haven't been uploaded to the server.

4. gmaps=gmap_,gmap,gmap2_,preview_,gmap2,
You really need to rename these gmaps so the server isn't so confused by all these gmap names. gmap.gmap and gmap2.gmap are the only two that are uploaded onto the server. Rename them to something other than gmap and delete the others.

5. In server ops, you have two sets of start levels and unstick me levels. Not a good thing to have.

6. The two gmaps that are actually on the server, do actually work. I'm unable to tell if they have npc's though since I don't have rights to see the levels themselves.

If your loading levels with the offline Editor and it works fine, then there is some type of issue with how your Online Tile Editor is corresponding. I won't know the specifics on that since its your system :P.

Yea thats what i was thinking but it has worked with other gmaps in the past

also i can edit the second level on the gmap the b1 , just not the bottom row
