Re: Custom Maps On server

gotta go in and change the Info ti lowercase info.. and in side that change the map name to all lowercase...

if thats already like that then you might need to make sure the dir are in bf2/mods/bf2/levels/

Re: Custom Maps On server

im also having problems with custom maps on my clan server. i upload them to mods/bf2/levels/map_folder - replacing map_folder with map name.

and in no way am i able to add the maps to the rotation. this is annoying me as am trying to get scrims going with other clans on maps that no one has played before. being that most public severs use the default maps. well here in NZ anyways.

Re: Custom Maps On 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! :)
