BG42 Custom Map snag

    The BattleGroup42 team is putting together a map pack that includes the new "match pack" released by EA/DICE a short while ago. They are having a problem with including those maps. Any of you mappers come across this before?

    The converted maps of the EA tournament map pack cannot be voted for or switched to by the current standard server manager for most servers (BFSM). When you vote for one of them, it loads another map (so far it seems to be random as far as I can tell).

    I told them that I would see if anyone here had any ideas. Any ideas?

    Yes, also presents it's problem when you try to load next map with BFSM, there is a fix for it, but I never knew what it was.

    The owner of the servers in my last clan (still to remain nameless) use to have to modify the files after our alteration and then users would be able to use BFSM again.

    Unfortunately, he never told any of us what he did to make them playable again.
    But the answer is in the files, somewhere, not a problem with BFSM.

    Do you think that said nameless owner of said nameless clan would share the information with BG42?

    I think I have run into this problem before, but I don't remember what fixed it. So, I'll go to my network troubleshooting and tell you to start with the simple things first. If any of these things are out of wack, BFSM will act funny.

    I will assume this is a linux server:

    1. Correct Owner/Group of maps
    2. Correct Owner/Group of .con settings files
    3. all map names lowercase
    4. maps are correctly listed in the maps.con file. I had a situation where some customs I added did not put a number at the end of the map. I have no idea what they mean, but I guessed the number and they worked.

    That's all I can think of.
