Custom Map Thursday

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

The server is going to shut down automagically at 3AM Eastern time on Thursday for one minute then restart with custom CQ maps. At 3AM Eastern time on Friday it will shutdown and revert back to the normal server configuration.

One set was put here by Jimbo.
Will try to get to other there too and make this a sticky.

You forgot to put in the ftp://ftp.jiff.net

one of the two links will work depends on what your browser does.

I downloaded a version 1.3 of Ihantala. But we're using 1.2, right?

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

I dunno Badger is telling me 1.3 too.
I clean, I slave over a hot stove, I wash your dirty clothes, I change dirty diapers and all I get it complaints
I will go look for 1.3 I just took the one off the 3fl site.

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

The version from the 3fl site has this map: UN_Ihantala.rfa
The version 1.3 from Gamespy has this map: Battle_of_Ihantala.RFA

So I am pretty confused and just put them both in
I will give the the 1.3 version to Jimbo so he can put it on the FTP site too.

"UN_Ihantala.rfa", "Battle_of_Ihantala.RFA"??? Ok I'm just going to go sit in the corner now. Can someone hand me my pointy hat?

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

It get's worse. There is a server side patch for UN_Ihantala.rfa called 1.3, but the clients don't need it

So I put on:

UN_Ihantala.rfa version 1.2 with a server side patch to 1.3 and Battle_of_Ihantala.RFA version 1.3

Pretty sure I only put the UN one in the rotation for tomorrow.

I give up
Just get em all

Well the server cut over automatically fine, but because I did not turn off "Content Checking" if you tried to join you got kicked saying "data differs from server". To run custom maps I have to turn that off. Sorry I did not know or did not remember.
It's fixed now and I was able to join. This is not a PunkBuster error it's built in BF content checking.

When on a checked some of the maps out. Pretty cool, but only 4 players so far.

hi all

downL'n.paks now are there any bumps in the road


(just this download?)

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

I just intalled them and it worked fine. Some map packs you just run and make sure it's pointing to the folder where BF is installed. Others usually zip files you just open and copy the map raf file to the correct mods level folder.
If your really paranoid and have disk space you can copy the whole BF game directory to anothe place and then if you mess it up you can just copy the BF game directory back.

Err, ok I see 4 files on the FTP server. I'm nabbing the "bf1942_UN_Battle_of_Ihantala_v1.2.exe" right now, but do I need to get all those files? Even the RtRome patches and the inthala 1.3 zip file? Also, once done, will I have to uninstall this stuff to get back to normal bf1942? Been to darn long since I did this stuff. lol

[[JiF]LtWaterboy]

Toriq et all,

Get the RtR 1.2 & the patch that goes with it.

the Inhatala map should be v1.2. The server, itself, needs the 1.3 (I believe - only Grimp/server owner needs this one).

Don't think there actually is a v1.3 for the map itself (which everyone would need to install).

So start here, and we'll keep things up to speed for everyone with future posts!

ps. Grimp - is this a fair summary??

[DeadAgain]

it's just the above link / stuph....or do i need to rundown all others maps on top list ?
