KnightHawk420 Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 that just means the map name your trying to load is not right. The name of the pk3 is not always the same name the map needs to be loaded up by. Do this.... Use winzip or some unzip util to view the files in the pk3 file. Look for the .bsp file. Whatever it's name is, is the name you should load with the "map mapname" command. so for instance. pk3 file is named coolmap.pk3 bsp file within the pk3 is named cool_map.bsp You need to load "map cool_map" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 okay thank you...now one other question, then should i in my mapcycle put the pk3 file name or the bsp name? and should i upload the pk3 file to the server or unzip it and load the files inside the pk3 file?

KnightHawk420 Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Question 1. Put the bsp name. Quesiton 2. Just upload the pk3 file, DO NOT unzip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 okay that is what i thought..but im still having problems, when i looked in the pk3 file to see what the bsp file name was, it is the same as the pk3 filename, and yet the server will not change to the maps... an example ctf_bespinfort.pk3=ctf_bespinfort.bsp ctf_tanzin.pk3=ctf_tanzin.bsp even with everything set, i still cannot seem to get the server to change over to the new maps... any other suggestions would be helpful... thanks....again....

MatrixCPA Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 When you restart the server application, do you see in the console that it has loaded the new map pk3's? If not, they could be corrupted or were not uploaded in binary mode. If you haven't restarted the server application, that would be your first problem. The server checks what's available when it first starts up and won't recongize and added file until it's restarted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightHawk420 Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 In your config file. tell me your not doing it this way. map ctf_bespin.bsp This would be the right way map ctf_bespin leave off the extension Q3 engine already knows your loading a .bsp file without telling it explicitly. If you have done that, then matrix is probably right, corrupt pk3 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
