Can't Upload Maps

[TheKoopa]

I can't upload maps because I have no upload button. Can someone fix plz?

I have the exact same problem (screenshot attached). Anyone have an idea why some people have the button and some don't?

Tried some funny stuff hoping to find the upload map button -- in the map vault (using FAF Client), tried hitting tab on the keyboard to cycle through the possible buttons and hitting spacebar to 'press' each button; tried randomly selecting/highlighting with the mouse pointer all over the place, CTRL+C and CTRL+V in notepad hoping to catch the button -- but to no avail.

Then I tried looking at the map vault page's source code with my internet browser: http://www.faforever.com/faf/vault/maps.php ... I think the section of code in the maps.php page that defines the area in the middle of the blue stripe on top (where I'm told the Upload Map button should appear) is as follows:

Code: Select all

<div class="hmiddle">
      <div class="middle-block" style="width: 25%;"></div>
      <div id="ajax-loader" style="display: none;"></div>
</div>

Nowhere within this is there an Upload Map button declaration. Even looking at the rest of the page code I could not find any code at all that generates an "Upload Map" button! I suppose this is a safety measure to restrict permission to upload maps to those who have the FAF Client only. I assume that means the code to spawn the Upload Map button exists inside the FAF Client itself and not the vault/maps.php page.

Anyone have more insight about how the map vault code works?

Sorry for multiple posts. I'm wondering if anyone else is aware of this no map upload button problem because it seems to only affect a small number of people so perhaps it slipped through as a low-priority issue (seeing as how nobody responded for 6 months.. not that i'm demanding a fix.. just resending in case nobody saw it ).

I get this problem even after reinstalling the game + FAF lobby on at least 4 different computers. The strange thing is, I managed to upload one map to the map vault before called Expandapolis (way back in I dunno, 2013? can't remember) which I'll admit wasn't that great.

This is a problem with your client not sending your username/password to the server when accessing the map vault.

From Koppas log I cannot find anything that should deter this from happnening.

Created an issue on github for tracking this here: https://github.com/FAForever/lobby/issues/175

Thanks for reporting it.
