I admin a linux server and can't seem to add any custom maps to the rotation.
The server is updated to 1.2
What I've been doing is uploading the pk3 to the main folder on the server and adding the name in the rotation. When I restart the server, it doesn't start and gives me an error saying that it cannot find map/mp/xxxx.bsp (where xxxx is the map name)
I've tried unpacking the pk3 file to the server, creating the folders as well. Still no go.
I have never added a custom map before and would like to get some in the rotation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

The .pk3 file goes in main as is i.e dont unpack it. The name of the file and the name of the map that is called is not necessarily the same. Open the pk3 in winzip and find a dir called maps in there it will tell you what the real map name is xxxxxx.bsp, that is the name you put in your cfg.
Hope this helps

AHH! That would explain why. Thanks so much. I will try that.
