map sites not downloading

op1e · **map sites not downloading -** 21-11-2004

I just dowloaded that custom waypoint pack 1 and it just came with the waypoint files and not the maps. Every place I go to download maps has a page not found broken link. Tried all the links I could find. Could someone please compile a pack with all the maps that came with the file I downloaded or at least give me a mirror that works. Any help grately appreciated.

Hmmm... that's odd... I don't have time to compile map packs, and I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to get the maps... guess I was wrong, huh?

Since I'm so short on time, the only help I can offer you is as follows: You post the names of the maps you can't find here, (I can't believe you didn't find any of the maps at all, right?

) and I will either find a working d/l link for you or upload my own RAR archive of that map to the filebase when possible. Is that ok?

I'm not sure, but maybe this thread should belong to "Waypointing" forum?

great, very helpful thanx. managed to find alot of the maps till like 4 in the morning last night and I'll fill in the blanks with these. Only thing so far is learning where to put everything, know where to put the bsp files but the wads are apparently in wrong place cause maps show in list but dont load. But thats a whole other thread, sorry. point me in the right direction if you can to show me how to install these and I'll be xtremely happy. Got a great bot server going and only thing missing is not having to play them tired old maps.

So the .wad files you must put in the MOD folder like "cstrike".
.bsp files you must put in the MOD maps folder like "cstrike\maps\"
If the map have a textures you must put in the MOD gfx\env folder like "cstrike\gfx\env\"
If the map have specific sounds you must put in the MOD sound\ambience folder like "cstrike\sound\ambience\" but if the map have specific sound folder you must put the sound files in "cstrike\sound\"map name folder\"
Like the map de_torn - "cstrike\sound\de_torn\"

I hope that I help you

P.S I have a lot of maps

(my maps folder is 650MB)
But my internet speed is very slowly sow I can't send it to you. Sorry!

...and the overview (mapname.bmp and mapname.txt) goes into cstrike\overviews, of course.

But normally, 99% of all maps should be packed in a way that you either got the complete sub-folder structure starting with cstrike in the ZIP, or at least starting with the sub-folders like gfx\env, maps, models, overviews, sound, sprites, and the .WAD files right in the ZIP's main directory.

Which ZIP tool are you using? If it doesn't reconstruct correct folder structures, but instead unpacks everything into one directory, your ZIP application might suck.

That is not a lot...

(make that 2+ gig, and I repacked everything with WinRAR, shaving up to 20% off the original filesize

)

Same here. Besides, I'm on a bandwidth budget... 2 gig is my monthly bandwidth... 9_9
