Tradewinds Update Download

Dear forum members,
for some time now we have been creating and maintaining new ways to help game server admins with questions and problems as quickly as possible, e.g. our Guides section and the Nitrado Community Discord.

Therefore, we inform you that the Nitrado Forum will be closed on March 31, 2023. We are consolidating our community support to our Discord channel, which is faster and more efficient. We have also seen incredible growth in our community due to the hard work of our moderators and our bots. We are confident that this move will ensure that we provide the best support possible for our users.

Thank you to all members for your continued use of the forum!

Assistance with all questions concerning your Nitrado service can now be found in these spots:
Community Discord: https://discord.gg/nitrado
Guides section: https://server.nitrado.net/guides
Support Wizard: https://support.nitrado.net

    problem with going with your own server is I don’t think it supports Console players so you would lose a good bit of your community. I would switch over right now if I wouldn’t lose my Xbox players . I only have a few of us with The Steam version.

    According to my research, With a lot of extra buggering around they can be set to crossplay compatible but not 100% sure at this exact second. If you like i can PM you once i know for sure and let you know how to do it if it is possible

    Can confirm -- web interface refuses to upload the .png. Tried with the .jpg and that worked just fine. Nitrado needs to get on this and stop wasting our time and money. Getting frustrated.

    I put in a support request to ask about the issue of not being able to upload the png maps and they replied today with "Yes, we are aware of this difficulty and our developers plan to have this resolved early in the week next week as soon as possible." Hopefully they'll get this all figured out soon.:):thumbup:

    Who the heck did you blow to actually get a decent response with an ETA? I've had tickets and calls out the ringer and the ONLY response i have ever gotten including one from 30 mins ago said "we are investigating the issue but cannot give an ETA"
    edit. Thanks for the update man, at least somebody is getting something from nitrado

    Lol :D No blowing that I was aware of. Maybe just good timing and they are finally making some progress?

    Is anyone else having issues with the maps not working after the latest update? after reuploading the jpgs and nothing

    Edit
    It also affects treasure maps aswell. Cant do them cause the map for the treasure is just blank

    Yes, everyone on Xbox is having this issue. I contacted support about it and they replied "Yes, we are aware of this difficulty and our developers plan to have this resolved early in the week next week as soon as possible." Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon. They had released a message in the forum last week about the new update requiring us to change our images to png files and there is an updated map editor that allows you to custom place tradewinds. I've done this already and can't upload the png files just the jpg files and the game doesn't recognize those after the update. The new server file seems to be working for me. I just can't see where I'm going on the map. Just playing "Stranded Deep" style till there's a fix.

    hit that big F, Nitrado really dropped the ball.

    So For some reason when I choose the map and cell images to upload for my custom map, they are not doing so.

    I have the images in the right file format and name.


    They were pull directly from the newest version of the servergrid map editor so they havent been touched or change.


    When I select the images to upload, it goes through the normal process, accepts them, but then they do not show up on the file list on nitrado and the map remains blank.


    Any solutions?

    Maps (including treasure maps) are working now on Xbox servers (just tested). Dialog instructions above the upload are/were still saying jpg but you have to change them to a png file and they are now uploading as a png. There is a new server grid editor that will allow for placing tradewinds and export the map as png. Note that when I first loaded into the server it looked like the map was still grayed out but once I was in the game and opened my map it was working correctly.

    I can get my main server up and playable, but ever since the update I cannot get the expansion server to start. It just keeps getting stuck on restart. I've tried reuploading everything, removing it and readding it. Nothing is working right now.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions or a way to fix this?

    Thanks

    Exactly same for PC. I try'd the upload so many times after 20-30mins i saw that it had to be png. Btw i just put the files on this Website : JPG in PNG – Wandeln Sie JPG in PNG it's a converter or what ever exactly it's call'd and then i just reuploadet them, after one full Restart whole Map was fixed, all Grids show'n up, Warfog was again same, was the perfect fix for me. (If it is not allowed to put some Links in this Forum i'm sorry for that, just try to get the peeps fast back to the sea ;) (So far it is only the Pictures they are bugged out because of another File-Version (Converted file or how ever its call'd, right?)
