For some reason unknown to me the maps I have created wont work in servers set to pure.They work fine when servers set to pure no.I dont mean in the testing stage I mean when someone uploads to their servers.Is there anything I am overlooking or need to do to make them able to play in pure server set ups please.

Do you have created an iwd file with your map?
Tut about creating iwd files -> http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-333.html
To run your map on a pure server it must be in an iwd file.

yes I have an iwd file


in it is

maps >>>>>> mp(gsc file,bspfile,prt file ,csv file)
mp(arena file)
images(containing files required for loading screen)
materials(containing files required for loading screen)
readme file (containing map details mapper website etc)


gsc file

main()
{
maps\mp\_load::main();

setExpFog(0.0001, 0.55, 0.6, 0.55, 0);
// setCullFog(0, 16500, 0.55, 0.6, 0.55, 0);
ambientPlay("ambient_france");

game["allies"] = "british";
game["axis"] = "german";
game["attackers"] = "allies";
game["defenders"] = "axis";
game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";

setCvar("r_glowbloomintensity0", ".25");
setCvar("r_glowbloomintensity1", ".25");
setcvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3");

}


csv file

levelBriefing,loadscreen_mp_mapname


arena file

{
map "mp_mapname"
longname "mp_mapname"
gametype "dm tdm ctf"
}

It probably dosn't have anything to do with your problem, but I'm sure you don't have to included the prt file in your iwd

Do you have tested the iwd file only on your computer or on other computers too?
If you have tested it only on your computer, it could be that you used the wrong compression method (which has to be set to normal, not fast or extra). With the wrong compression method the game can't open the iwd file. If you run the game with sv_pure 0 and your iwd file has the wrong compression method, the game opens the map from the folder main/maps/mp and not the one which is in the iwd file.

When you want to start your map from the console with sv_pure set to 1, do you get any error?

I just used a standard compresion as far as I am aware using winzip

Have you tried this tut on how to create an iwd file?

There is more to it then just compressing it in winzip.

Cheers

yes I have followed the tutorial

You probably have to many "single" custom maps in your Call of Duty 2\main folder. Call of Duty 2 isn't like the original vanilla CoD or UO in this respect unfortunately and requires you to make your own .iwd mappacks with shorter names to conserve space, allowing you to run more custom maps in your Call of Duty 2\main folder.
