Re: [HELP] Map change doesnt work

try "change_map x" instead of "map_change x", or just use "sv_map x"

Re: [HELP] Map change doesnt work

When i try change_map waterp_v8 it restarts the server but loads no new map.
When i try sv_map waterp_v8 it says "failed to load map='waterp_v8"
Any more ideas? sad

Re: [HELP] Map change doesnt work

I saved that map under a new name.map
Should i copy it into some other file before I can use it? o.0

Its a water MOD map - if anyone wants to take a look at it I could send it to you...

Re: [HELP] Map change doesnt work

no you should be able to load the map from the file where it is saved. maybe check the name and compare with what you writes into the rcon.
maybe you forgot after saving .map? (waterp_v8.map)

Re: [HELP] Map change doesnt work

make sure, that there is a file named "waterp_v8.map" in the maps folder

Yeah... have you uploaded the map into your root map directory? (not your local map directory...)?
You need access to the server, for uploading files.

Re: [HELP] Map change doesnt work

So... when I go into my config directory folder -> maps then there is a waterp_v8.map
And Im sure i wrote it right in the rcon because i tried like 20 times -.-"

Re: [HELP] Map change doesnt work

"waterp_v8.map"

hmm i use windows, but my mapfiles are named without the ".map" there, maybe you named it to "waterp_v8.map.map"?

Like said before, you must not save it in your teeworlds LOCAL directory. You must upload it in your server REMOTE teeworlds-map directory.
Tell me, how do you think can a "not your" server see maps on your computer, while he is searching them on the server harddisk? ^^

Maps can be named with extension or without... Teeworlds will read them anyway, like for config (you can use .cfg or not).

Re: [HELP] Map change doesnt work

hmmmmm as i know if the name is "waterp_v8.map" and the file is already .map the the server will search for the map "waterp_v8" but he wont find it coz it names is "waterp_v8.map". so not as file-type, as name!

You don't have access to upload file to the server?
