Altered Library problems in Kali
Posted: November 22nd, 2010, 9:17 am
The situation
You are attempting to get a multi user game going in Kali. The host sets the game and other players attempt to join when the game is set.
The person joining gets a message to the effect "Libraries have been altered" and cannot join the game.
What this means
For the course the host selected, the host and the joiner have one or more custom libraries with different modification dates.
How does this happen?
Prior to the time we started zipping all library files, the modification date attached to a downloaded library was the download date. This almost guaranteed discrepencies in dates.
How do you resolve the problem?
There are a couple ways to resolve the issue...
1. You can both open your Sierra folder and do a one for one compare on modification dates for all custom libraries that course uses. When you find a difference, one or both of you can re-download and install that library.
2. You can download and install Diguelos Course Collator V4 (Misc Files). That gives you a quick and easy way to view course and library mofification dates. You can even change library dates on the spot with that utility. If you both have the Course Collator installed, it is quick and easy to diagnos and fix a library discrepency.
A comprehensive tutorial on how to set up and use the Course Collator is also in the Misc Files area (MS Word format)
