in Trouble with server crash when loading n Post #285671
OK, Made custom textures in Photo Shop and converted them to a .wad file in Wally. No texture is larger than 256 X 256. .wad file installed in czero folder of server. .bsp file installed in Maps folder. Sprites in Sprite folder, Models in model folder sounds in sound folder. All are installed the same way (same paths) that I have them on my machine.

The game doesn't say anything when it crashes the server. If I am in Dust2 and change to the custom map with amx cmd. the server freezes at the point I was at in d2. I then have to restart the server.

Today purchased my own server so I can crash mine all day without anyone else being inconvenienced. Same results.

Map created in Hammer 3.4 compiled with batch compiler. It isn't my first map but it is my first using my own textures.

I'm not mapping source. I am still mapping condition zero. I'm not sure what you are saying here. If I load the .wad file onto the server along with the sprites, sounds and models wouldn't the sever load them like they would load any other map?

What do you mean by including .wad into .bsp file?

I have just spent an hour searching the forums for a previous answer to why a map would run fine on my computer through STEAM yet crashes a server that my friends clan uses when I load it there. If I cant figure this out, I'm just not going to make maps any more. No sense making what can not be played. If someone can steer me in the right direction please so I can resolve the problem?

Hey everyone. I have been mapping (basic stuff using existing textures from other maps) for a few years and have recently begun to make a hobby of learning how to do more customizing. This site has been a great help, thank you.

I made my first map using my own custom textures this week and it works fine on my machine but crashes the server when I load it on a friends clan server. I loaded the wad files and all the sound and sprite files into the correct folders and naturally the map in the map folder. Any idea what may be wrong?

I appreciate the help,
Thanks- Steve
