cust maps woes...

[RugburnXXX]

Okay - I sent this as a PM to the wrong person (sorry again about that) and I dont remember exactly who last night asked me to send the info on the maps that didnt extract... so here is the message I sent earlier and hopefully the correct person(s) will read it.



As you requested... here are the two maps that I had troubles with.

a_bad_surprise
end_of_the_line

They download just fine, but my extraction program [jZip] gives me the follow message when I attempt to open for extraction:
"jZip does not support the file format of the file you are trying to open. The archive file could not be opened"

Also, there seem to be quite a few maps that are not in the rotation - are they on a different server (if yes, whats the IP). Just of the few that I've not seen - and they are not available in the map vote menu are:
DCX Artica
Alpine Train
Forest Railway
Hangar 18
Hell Town
Iwo Jima
Market Garden
Midway
Nakkebrekkbakken
etc...

I would love to play some (all actually) of these as its great fun to run a new map.
thanks and regards

Yea bud, like I said that was no problem at all. Glad to help anyway I can! I gave him the correct people to contact, but I'm glad you posted in the forum so everyone can find out for future reference.

I too had the same problem he had. I used winrar to extract those two maps and even redownloaded and still got the same thing. I meant to post about it, but forgot too. I too would like to know what's up with them, as I can play them in single player too. I'm sure I could find them on file front or somewhere else, but never got to it, since they are not in rotation on the server yet! :)

Here are the messages I get using winrar:


! C:\Documents and Settings\Deathgrinder\Desktop\a_bad_surprise.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged


! C:\Documents and Settings\Carolina Girl\Desktop\End_of_the_Line.zip: The archive is corrupt

I posted the links below for the Admin or Game Server Admins to check them out first. According to the links, for the files below, these are coop/single player, but wait to see what the Admin or Game Server Admins say before you download them, so you dont waste your time.

Oh and these are the current maps as of now that are in rotation on custom server:

Current Maplist (Custom - 64 player co-op) -

Cliff Attack
Adh Oasis Revisited
Urban Decay
Mekong Delta
Kirkuk Basin
Qala Diza
Maszarqi Siege
City District
Urban Raid
Torkre
Raid on Agheila
Warehouse

I don't know of another [TEAM] server ip playing any other custom maps as of yet!

Sorry I didn't respond to this post sooner guys. For some reason it didn't show up in my "New Posts" list so I didn't notice it was here. I'll re-upload the two maps that are having problems - sometimes the archive gets corrupt when they're uploaded to the webserver.

Hardshooters usually deals with choosing maps for play on the custom map server, but I guess he's having ISP issues (forgot to pay the bill again, I bet) and has been absent for awhile. As far as I know - every map loaded on the custom server is posted in the map vote. The maps currently running were the most popular ones in the voting, with the exception of three new ones added a few weeks ago.

If you guys want some new maps post them here and I'll get them loaded up tomorrow night.

I thought you meant these maps weren't available in the map vote poll I put up a month or two ago so people could pick the maps they wanted to play most in the custom game. I realized later you were probably talking about maps available to vote for in the game. Only the maps currently in the rotation are available to vote for in the game. I usually see little point in having more than eight or ten maps in the rotation at one time, but there can be as many in there as you guys want to play. Give me a few maps you'd like to add and I'll throw them in as soon as I get the names.

Artica is a good map
Alpine Train is a little boring
Forest Tailway - ok but gets boring after awhile
Hanger 18 I've never played
Hell Town - boring but different
Iwo Jima is one of my favorites but was removed because it kept crashing
Market Garden is a cool map
Midway is good too
Nakkebrekkbakken I don't remember if I've played or not

the map before torke isn't that fun, I'm not sure what it's called..but it's poorly laid out and it makes it hard to get around.
by the way where are all the team guys...PLAY!!!!!!!!!

Yea, no complaints here! I was only trying to help him out as much as I could. Those maps I posted seem to work, so maybe hardshooter can take a look. I'm not trying to act like a mod here, but I am use to being a moderator, and like to help when I can. I have been a moderator, for years now, doing different stuff with different websites. Thanks Kilemal, and I will let ya know if I see anything I would like added, as I'm sure others will. There are some I still haven't tried out.:p

[RugburnXXX]

Great.. thanks.. and i'll talk to a few people that just joined with me (all of us are from the =MLA= clan) and maybe you all (TEAM folks) could put up another vote for map rotations.. and we'll get a little 'new blood' into the mix :)

And I should mention.. this is my first and only experience with custom/mod servers and I'm impressed... have had a great time so far and the few people I've had contact here with have been exceptional... if I knew that the "thanks" things are I'ld hand em out to a few exceptionals... deathgrinder, kimemal, ad that other guy whose name completely escapes me but was the one who told me to post the corrupt map downloads (lol). anywhos... dont step in front of me rpk/pkm and I wont tk ya !!! (joke... less your a bot - they seem to have an affinity for stepping in front of a live firing weapon - or is just me?).


Great job putting out something worthwhile TEAM!!!!

Hehee, some reason I always seem to get some tk's on cliff attack! This is a great group of people to play with and I keep on learning more and more thanks to their team efforts. I still got a lot to learn! See ya on the battlefield!

The games do seem to be a little slow lately, but things will pick up again. There's lots of places you can play BF2 and find more players in the game, but I don't think there's anywhere you can play this game and find BETTER players in the game. And that's the way I like it.

As for the maps pick em, and we will run em, i have no problem with any maps you guys want to run...

;)

My feelings exactly - gimme a list of maps here and I'll add them to the rotation. We can run 50 maps in there if you want.
