How can we make it so "Barn Storm" (mp_barn) cannot be voted in?? How do we get rid of this map?

Couldn't you just remove the bsp and arena files for mp_barn from the pk3 file? Then it would never show up, so no one could load it in. It's under the update101.pk3 file. mp_barn.bsp mp_barn.arena mp_barn.jpg Don't know if this would screw up something else... and I know generally you never want to modify the raven files, but wouldn't this work?

It seems like everyone connecting would need the same modified file. If not the client would still see this map...and it might possibly crash the server if they voted for it.

Has anyone tried anything like this??

You're right, running a pure server would require that everyone connecting download the pk3 file. Wonder if it would replace the file on everyone elses PC, or would it download into a different directory...? Wow, if it replaces the file, you could really screw up a lot of players. - I doubt it would cause a crash, and if the map was missing, I doubt it would show up in the voting to begin with. Interested to know what would happen if it was removed from the pk3...

i have seen an update101a.pk3 file before perhaps they done this and removed the update101.pk3 from server, but the pk3 is 9meg even with the map remvoed its going to be big for clients... i guess the qvm's could be removed as well and possibly some other files.

hmm, yeah the 9MB would certainly keep everyone off your server... Guess the only thing would be to not allow voting on map change... It was an interesting thought though...

Can I just rename a file in one of the .pk3 somewhere and still run pure and NOT have to have anyone download any .pk3s? What can be done? I don't care if it still shows up in the votable LIST just as long as it fails to actually load the map!! Thx! Hopefully
