Lastnight we had some major problems on our server, when trying to download maps. I believe I have resolved this by doing 2 things.
1. I have switched our map redirect to a different server company.
2. I have added all iwd files to both the map directory and the mod directory, it seemed that some maps did not like one or the other so I put them in both places...
Thanks, and I appologize to anyone who could not connect...

Uhm... I don't think that the second operation is a good one... I've just opened a thread in Server Config --> General talking about that issue. BTW all 3 files that compose the custom map (map.ff, map_load.ff and map.iwd) are searched in a couple of directories... it's like the windows path. The first path is the usermaps folder, the second one is the main folder of the mod/game. Take a look at my thread where I explain a detailed opinion about the iwd files placement  |

I would agree with, the only problem is that I have had problems loading IWD files both way... I.e.sometimes maps work with the file in the map folder other times not. So all I can say is that this is a result of a couple of hours change locations and deleting local IWd files. I do not disagree but I am just stating what works for us every time.

I had a similar problem only with beta maps... not the offical releases. I know that is cool to have alwas "fresh" maps running on the server, but I prefere to have just stable maps and not beta ones. And with stables I may assert that doesn't matter where you put the IWD file Anyway... that was just an hint, not a critic  |

Being a small clan we do have the flexibility to try out both beta and final release maps, all I can say is someone has to test them lol... And I did not think you where being critical I was just trying to help out others who may have the same problems....

Actually Burningcross, I understand now, and I am sorry, I did not see your post on another board about putting map IWD files, so I guess my comments seemed like contradiction and that was not my intent, I appologize, we are all trying to provide information to help each other and sometimes I guess we contradict each each others statements... As far as the beer goes, man do I wish I was back in Europe, Paris, Rome, Madrid, London... (I british, I hate London but out of loyalty I added it... lol) I lived in Rome for 6 months about 15 years ago what a great country and city... It funny people always complain here about traffic in cities like New york, until you have driven in Rome you don't know traffic... lol Anyway I may just take you up on that.... |
