HI,
I am new to this forums and think you all are doing a FINE job.
My problem lies in my remote server, I can't seem to get server to host custom maps(ZZ-sealion-Para-Beta, or ZzZz-MOH_Stalingrad) I have went as far as rewrote the codserver.cfg page on the server got it to boot and it's there, but it wont host the maps, why?
here is how I added it{gametype tdm map mp_ZZ-Sealion-Para-Beta gametype tdm map mp_ZzZz-MOH_Stalingrad}
Is there another way to add it? By the way I also downloaded it into the main files of the game and it shows up there, but it still won't load. server will run fine just those maps don't come up or show up. PLEASE HELP!!

Try using mp_stalingrad or just stalingrad for the map name.

Ex: set sv_maprotation "gametype tdm map stalingrad map mp_stalingrad"

One of those should work, most of the time the readme files with the map will tell you what the map is named (unrelated to the filename of the pk3).

You need to know the map code names and use them to load the map(s), exactly the same as you load the default/stock maps. You can find this in a number of ways (I'll mention 2 of them):

1). Place the pk3 files in your MAIN folder, start your own server using the custom map (select it from the list), then press TAB while in the map and note the map name in the top right (that's the code name you need to use)

2) Open the custom map pk3 file in WinZip or WinRar, then look for the map's .gsc file (i.e. stanlingrad.gsc, mp_stanjel.gsc, second_coming.gsc, etc.). Whatever is used as the name of that .gsc is the code name you use to load the map in the server.

#2 is the easiest, with number 1 being a good second option should you get confused by the .gsc files (there's usually a few in there).
