    Custom maps won't load on dedicated Linux server

    I'm trying to load some custom maps on a dedicated Linux server. The maps in particular I'm looking at are:

    Crash N Burn
    Boat Racing Stunts
    Car War

    They were all downloaded from the totalbf2 download area.

    I can load them locally, and run then in multiplayer create local server mode. But when I copy the same folders into the server, I get an error of:

    "can not load map: map not found"

    Have loaded other mods on the server with not problem, including Allied Intent and Codename Eagle. I tried loading the "stunts" mod on the server, and encountered the same maps problem as when I try them in normal (bf2) mode.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Re: Custom maps won't load on dedicated Linux server

    Got it figured out, finally. Thanks to Forthbean for his post on the BF2 stunts mod forum:



    I used the ./lowercaseDir.py script described there to correctly modify the folder. However, it did not work when just ran against the maps folder. So I ended up installing the stunts mod files, then putting my maps folders in the mod, then running it against the stunts mod as described. Could probably just run against whatever mod (including normal bf2) you wanted and have it work, but I didn't feel like testing it out when I already had the others working.

    If anyone else wants them, here's the three maps I mentioned all converted and ready to go. http://ohzohen.homeip.net/bf2/stunt_..._server.tar.gz
