Deus Ex Alpha

A lot of people had trouble getting in to Hanz' Server or mine because of MPBots version mismatches, and I believe everyone has had a CaroneElevatorSet version mismatch.

An easy way to solve this problem is to drag the mismatched file(s) onto your desktop. This will keep your file and the version played on the server you're trying to join will be in downloaded into your Cache.

Duh But yes,

You see a popular server, 8/10 slots full, 80 ping, playing on DXMP_Cathedral. You attempt to join and you get the old MisMatch error (I'll explain why later). Now the best way to fix this is:

1. Close down all instances of Deus Ex.
2. Locate your Maps folder, generally in MyComputer>C:>DeusEx>Maps.
3. Locate DXMP_Cathedral, most likely near the bottom.
4. Either Drag this onto your desktop or some other place, or delete it.
5. Now attempt to re-join the server. You should be able to join without error.

If you still get the MisMatch error, and you have definitely taken DXMP_Cathedral away from your Deus Ex folder, it may be required that you purge your cache. The cache, in brief, stores all of the Downloads you have taken from servers, so Gun Mods, Maps, Anti-Cheating Mods, etc. Either delete all of that or take about 3-5 out at a time, then try to re-join the server. I won't go into detail on this, as I will probably just confuse you.

Either way, now it's close to the top.

why can't they just call it Carone2 and Carone1?

There's no method to force the whole community to change their CaroneElevatorSet's name. Same for DXMP_Cathedral kinda.

No.. It's down to the maker of the Mod/Map to change the map name as newer versions are released, i.e adding #1, #2, or v.1, v.2 etc.

Tell that to Lee, haha, he refuses to do such things.

Lol, there isn't much of an excuse for not doing it really, unlesss it's an unanticipated freak accident

He doesn't care, so it seems. He says: "It's my map and I can do whatever I want to do with it."

Even cause people to not play it because they dunno how to fix it!

Of course it shouldn't happen, that people alter files without changing names. But it's already happened, just like DXMP_Cathedral. Can't change the past.

Time machine!

lol.

I once thought it would be funny to change loads of textures in the original DX .utx files... then I wondered why nobody joined my server in a week... yup, I hadn't changed the names.

i had the same CaroneElevatorSet version mismatch because i host rpg map so i moved it to desktop and joined the server but forgot to move it back so i couldnt host the rpg map, and a had deleted half of my desktop including the CaroneElevatorSet.u so i had to hunt for my backup disks
i wasnt too pleased.....
