Need help to run custom map on server

[BlackOps]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to COD server editing, had did some admin in COD and need a little info.

Running a Linux COD server, all stock map, I accessed by FTP and uploaded a new map, its a .PK3 file, then I edited the map rotation to add this map. It says the map can't be found but showing another format (.bsp) the map name is: firefight_(t)dm.pk3 and I added to the rotation: g_gametype TDM map mp_firefight_(t)dm ....also we are runnig custom skins but I never did that, so we don't have pure server. Thanks for any info....

Did you place the custom file in the MAIN folder?

Are you certain the code name for the map is "mp_firefight_(t)dm"?

Make sure you have it uploaded in the correct place and make sure you're using the correct code name for the map (ie. the name of the pk3 isn't necessarily the actual code name for the map). You can find out the code name by:

1) Placing the map in your own Main folder
2) Starting CoDMP.exe
3) Opening your console and typing /fdir *.bsp
4) Scroll the list of maps and look for your custom one
5) The text after "maps/mp/" for it is the actual code name to use in your map rotation (minus the .bsp part...don't use that)

EG: maps/mp/mp_bellicourt_v1_1.bsp

In the above example, the name I would use in my rotation is "mp_bellicourt_v1_1".

I put the map in my own COD and fired un a server, and got the right name there :)
