Sweetness... you da man!

Thanks

I didn't make that xD
I found it online somewhere a while back, not sure where.

I'm not creative enough to come up with sayings like that.. Once I read them it's like aw shit, that's so original and so cheesy but for whatever reason I just can't do it!

Just found another custom one we had "Warpath"

It's uploaded to the server and working.

OK, custom maps uploaded and they seem to be working fine.

It did take a couple of attempts to start the server but I think that is normal as I have always had that problem when starting the server.

The custom maps I found and uploaded are:

2fort
well
avanti

Was that all the custom maps we had?
I looked at dustbowl and that seems to be original so maybe I just imagined that we had that custom not sure. Also I thought we had casbah modded as well but that seems to be original as well.

Just to let you know, the custom maps we had are not on the game server but are on the fast download website you set up the other day.

I have just downloaded them from the site and am now uploading them to the game server.

Will report back shortly 

Carl

Yeah no problem, I'll check back.

Try the start button 3 or 4 times if it doesnt come back up straight away after adding the custom maps, sometimes it can take up to 60 seconds to come back up.

We'll get to the bottom of it and get these custom maps working if it kills us lol  

Did you find the custom maps? and are they added to the fast download site?

[OK, will load them again a bit later... just check back. If it puts the whammo on TFC again, do the update again or leave it?Fatty]

No problem its fixed and admin and foxbot is working again.

I'm not sure the maps was the cause for the server not loading up, I noticed this a few times that sometimes you have to click start server more than once to get the server to come back up so might be worth trying the custom maps again if you have found them.

As for the ztmp you can delete these, they were something to do with the way maps used to download a long time ago, something to do with compressing resources before download.
Games still create these but they are useless and can sometimes give a user trying to download a map the classic message of "your map differs from the server".

The custom maps we had like 2fort and dustbowl with the teleporters in them and ninja men are actually in the .bsp files themselves, its done by a program that adds extra entity's into the map without actually having to recompile the maps themselves.
There was another way to add the entity's to maps without adding it to the map itself by creating a .ent file that was the same name as the map but the custom maps we had on the tfc server i am sure were done by adding the entity's to the map itself like I did with mayhem.
So the custom maps we had will be called 2fort.bsp and dustbowl.bsp as usual, it's just finding the correct ones that have them added to them.

If you are having trouble finding the custom ones it might be an idea to get all your 2fort.bsp maps together and rename them 2fort1, 2fort2, 2fort3 etc and put them in your maps folder on your computer, then create local server ingame and go through them 1 by 1.
Then when you find the correct ones just rename them back to the original names and upload to server.

Of course you should leave those pictures to the professionals!
