Map not appearing in level list

[Foxhawk]

So, my map is ready for a first test (lightmaps compiled, control points + spawn points placed) but it's not showing up in bf2's in game list of maps. Any common causes/solutions relative to this problem would be most helpful.

of course... there are tons of objects and terrain mods on the map already... I did a bunch of work before now, it's not just me loading it up to stare at the sky.

Could it be a problem with the combat area? I had one drawn, but I deleted it just to be sure. still no map on the list.

also, the only thing I can think of is that I did a "save as" partially into the map development. I went into the map folder and checked the .desc files, and, sure enough, the old name was there. So I changed it. But the map still doesn't show up.

Have you ever changed the name of your map?

If so you need to change the .desc in the info folder to current map name and also edit the .desc file with notepad and anywhere it shows the name of your map change it to the current name.

i've edited the info file, can't find any others that need to be edited.. :\

Re: Map not appearing in level list

What is the name of your map?

Or can you post a screenshot of the inside of your info folder and the .desc file opened in notepad?

argh, turns out the nomenclature was wrong... was struck by a bit of dyslexia there.
