Apparently there's a limit on the number of maps you can have in your Main directory. I've had the game 'stall' on a map loadup (ie. it'll sit there at the map loading screen) I can hit 'escape' and it takes me back to the Main Menu but I can hear the ambient sounds for the map I was trying to load. If I remove a map or two from my Main folder then the map will load up no problem. I've tested this a couple of times and it's definitely a max limit on the number of maps in Main. I was told that creating map packs gets around this but before I screw something up I'd like to know the proper method for creating a map pack. Thanks,

Maybe not so much a limit on maps but rather a limit on custom .iwd's in the main directory. To make a map-pack, literally combine all your .iwd's or the ones you use. Unzip all of them into their respective folders and then .iwd it. For example all your multiplayer .d3dbsp's, .gsc'c, and .d3dprt's would be in your main/maps/mp folder. All your .arean files would be in your main/mp folder. Ect... ect...

I have created 15 map packs for my 10-78 clan so far with 8 maps in each map pack. I usually put 2 map packs on the server (16 maps) and 2 new maps (not in any map packs, just released) along with the admiral mod without the server crashing. They are available here (must register): http://www.codutility.com/index.php?file=Page&name=Clans_Mappacks They all play in S&D gameplay execpt for The Rock (CTF gameplay, S&D not available) which is in map pack 9. Map packs 14 and 15 should be posted soon.
