Adding Maps To A Dedicated Server

[kns_deadmeat]

right ok, just got my server, very excited got onto it and only found a few maps to play and all different game modes. as i wanted to play coop for a while i wanted to add some coop maps. i downloaded two such maps "coop_damnight_v3" was one of them.

i stopped the server and placed it into the custom levels folder on the ftp and added the name of the map to the dedicated_game_info.xml file and restarted the server. but the server is not starting at all. can anyone give me some instruction on how to add maps to a dedicated server step by step. PLEASE......

It sounds like you have done all the right things, but just to be sure it has to look something like this when you add a map on the dedicated xml

Example:-

<match_info level="hh_grand_valley" order="22">

</match_info>

The way I normally do it to be on the safe side, is start my own server (on own pc)with the new maps i want, then copy the new map cycle from the game_info.xml to the dedicated_game_info.xml file.

It is so easy to miss something when editing the xml file, if you miss a > or a " then it wont load.

Good luck.
