how do you get custom maps to run on a linux server

[-{IFB}-bigyin]

how do you get custom maps to run on a linux server i have uploaded them to the right place and put there names in the map list yet when you restart the server it misses the custom map altogether and goes to the next stock map

any info on this would be great

btw this is for a unranked server

MapList.append gulf_of_oman gpm_cq 64
MapList.append living_hell gpm_cq 64
MapList.append fushe_pass gpm_cq 64
MapList.append dragon_valley gpm_cq 64
MapList.append daqing_oilfields gpm_cq 64
MapList.append dalian_plant gpm_cq 64
MapList.append zatar_wetlands gpm_cq 64
MapList.append strike_at_karkand gpm_cq 64
MapList.append songhua_stalemate gpm_cq 64
MapList.append sharqi_peninsula gpm_cq 64
MapList.append operation_clean_sweep gpm_cq 64
MapList.append mashtuur_city gpm_cq 64
MapList.append kubra_dam gpm_cq 64

YOURS: Not working.
MapList.append gulf_of_oman gpm_cq 64
MapList.append living_hell gpm_cq 64
MapList.append fushe_pass gpm_cq 64
MapList.append dragon_valley gpm_cq 64
MapList.append daqing_oilfields gpm_cq 64
MapList.append dalian_plant gpm_cq 64
MapList.append zatar_wetlands gpm_cq 64
MapList.append strike_at_karkand gpm_cq 64
MapList.append songhua_stalemate gpm_cq 64
MapList.append sharqi_peninsula gpm_cq 64
MapList.append operation_clean_sweep gpm_cq 64
MapList.append mashtuur_city gpm_cq 64
MapList.append kubra_dam gpm_cq 64




MINE: Working fine
maplist.append "dalian_plant" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "daqing_oilfields" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "dragon_valley" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "fushe_pass" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "gulf_of_oman" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "kubra_dam" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "mashtuur_city" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "operation_clean_sweep" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "sharqi_peninsula" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "songhua_stalemate" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "strike_at_karkand" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "zatar_wetlands" "gpm_cq" 32



Linux = a case sencitive OS, it's also picky about things like / or " or ; or : or \ or | these are control char's if you SEE one in something like my maplist above, it's best to maintain the structure.


Hope this helps.

Re: how do you get custom maps to run on a linux server

hmm.. annoying, no matter what i try i can not get custom maps to work. they are not showing up. yet they are in the maplist.con file. have used the layout that you have suggested. and what not, server is on linux. and the case is all the same.

You MUST rename all directories, and files inside the map. The info dir, the zip files, the info files, EVERYHTING must be lower case, to run on your linux server.

Then, you must add the new map to the maplist.con file (lowercase too), and then, type a maplist.load command to the console. If it does not return any errors, your map should work.

Re: how do you get custom maps to run on a linux server

1. Upload the map folder to ../../bf2/mods/bf2/levels/
No need to upload the client.zip file, just the server.zip and the info folder

2. Make sure all file and folder names are all lower case letters. One capital letter, will cause the map not to run....Make sure the info folder doesn't have a capital "I" in the name (I over looked this one at first)

3. You then must add the maps to your maplist.con file. Here is what my maplist.con file looks like:

maplist.append "wake_island" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "medina_city" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "al_khafji_docks" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "jungle_stream" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "attack_at_taiming" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "king_of_the_hill" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "mekong_river" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "smyrna" "gpm_cq" 32
maplist.append "uluwatu_city" "gpm_cq" 32

You can find your maplist.con file in ../../bf2/mods/bf2/settings/

You have to edit your maplist.con file in a text editor such as notepad or wordpad. No way that I know of to edit it with bf2cc.

Hope this helps!
