Sorry about all these questions, but I'm sure there are many many more of them just dying to pop up and make me ask them.....

How to you make it so that you can get to the aim_ak-colt map? I love that map, but it's not in the dedicated server thing.... Do I just have to switch to it once I make it into the server, or do I have to download the map and then add it into a file so it comes up in the dedicated server thing?

Your have to d/l the map first and put it in the correct folder before you can access it in your server.

Generaly, a way to add a map into a server is quite simple: when you download the map, be sure to put all its parts in right folders of your CS mod (like gfx, maps, sounds...) and a line in mapcycle.txt with a name of that map (de_aztec, cs_italy, as_thundra ...). Of course, this is only possible when you have direct access to server. Clients also should have that map (and all it's parts), or they will download it from server, which could take a while.

Just an hour ago I put de_bahrain into our LAN server, so that really isn't a big deal.

That made no sense to me at all..... Could you maybe give an example of where certain types of files would go? I don't wanna screw anything up....

No problem, I'll give you two examples, for maps de_bahrain and fy_iceworld. Bigger maps, like bahrain, have more various file types, and smaller, like iceworld, only map files.

1. When you unzip your map archive downloaded from the net, (de_bahrain), you'll get few file types, all put in their folders:

- map files (bahrain.bsp and bahrain.txt), that you should put in your server's ...cstrike\maps\ folder.

- sound files, that are allready in Bahrain folder you just move or copy to your ...cstrike\sounds\ folder

- graphic files (small pictures) you shoul put in ...cstrike\gfx\env\ folder.

2. When you unzip fy_iceworld, it has only map files (iceworld.bsp and iceworld.txt), so you should put them in ...cstrike\maps\ folder, and that's all.

Dont forget to add new maps to server's mapcycle.txt file, stored in ...cstrike\ directory.

Unholy Assassin, didn't you say that you already played aim_ak-colt? If so, you have already downloaded it and it should already be in the right folder. Now I'm confused about what your problem is.

Yes, I have played it, so I do have it downloaded, I just can't make it when I create a dedicated server. All I need to know is how, so I will try what what the other person (sorry, I have a short term memory and forgot who you were....) suggested.
