Okay I have downloaded a boat-load of new maps to both my server and my game machine. All of the new .pk3 files are in the C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\Main directory on the server. I have edited the config to disable "pure server".

When I made a second rotation config for custom maps I tried the usual in the map rotation:

"set sv_mapRotation "gametype tdm map mp_farm2 "

and..

"set sv_mapRotation "gametype tdm map farm2 "

When launching the server console it comes up with an error saying it cannot find that map.

What obvious step am I missing?

Using Winrar (or some other pk3 viewer)... open up the farm2.pk3 (or whatever the map file is named...the one that ends in .pk3).

Follow the "map" folder to the end of the subdirectories and you should see a file called "XXXXXXXXX.bsp" where the XXXXXXX is the file name.

that is the map name that you should use in your rotation.

Example if you find the file name to be "mp_farm_v2.bsp" then use "gametype tdm map mp_farm_v2" in your map rotation.

Hope that helps.
