custom server issues

[zeroser]

well hello all, i just been trying to pull up a custom maps server, and i'm having quite an issue:

letz say i got my mp_dust2_classic map in the game, when i try to connect to the server it gives me this error

"mp_dust2_classic.ff is different from the server"

any idea? xD

thnx

I think this may be due to having extra files in the map pack that you need to remove before uploading it to the server.

I'm not an expert at uploading the custom maps so I may be wrong, had a few problems myself but from what I remember you are supposed to remove any images and files that are not necessary from the map packs before uploading them.

Use winrar (or 7zip which is free) to open the IWD files and remove files that aren't necessary.
Which ones? I can't remember which ones exactly now but also read the README if there is one that comes with the map, that should explain.

Extract the files from the download, and it should have the map folder, with three files inside it, a .ff, a _load.ff and an IWD. Some maps that don't have a loadscreen or minimap may not have an IWD. Place the map folder with the three files in your usermaps folder. You will also need to be running a mod, see above paragraph for running custom maps without a real mod.

you simply have mismatched files with this files: mp_dust2_classic.ff - either corrupted in upload or there's a 2nd version that you've got mixed up. Use your gameserver files as source for this map: mp_dust2_classic - and upload that map folder's files to your redirect.
Stop and start your server.
