Hi,

i downloaded the maps:

 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com//atta...6&d=1214247273

,
and renamed the file "Shahrivar Som.tga" to "Shahrivar_Som.tga"
and "Shahrivar Som.map" to "Shahrivar_Som.map".

You tried that?

Now, remember I have 4 different Shahrivar maps (2 from sombre and another one called balanced along with the one I just changed).

It did not work, but I also did not change any other file except the tga file.

ALL those Shahrivar tga:s are EXACTLY the same file. All you need to do is change the file name of any one of them to EXACTLY: Shahrivar_Som.tga

My guess is you simply spelled it wrong, just like you did in the post above.

Any .map files are completely irrelevant, you don't even need to have one when playing MP, just the tga.

I also saw I misspelled Shahrivar in one of my posts so that isn't an issue (but thanks for pointing that out, it sure could have been).

Here is what I have done and the results.

1. I used the map on the front page as the prototype. I cut and pasted it into the map section, extrated and then took all the files out and left them free standing in the map file (as I do all the others).

2. I changed that one file and added the underscore EXACTLY as indicated but no luck. In fact just to check something after I changed it I went back in and tried to start a new game using all of the the Sharivar maps and it would not come up with the message "can't find Shahrivar Som.tga". So changing it messed up the rest of the maps.

SO, it seems somewhere along the line I have a choice as my computer is NOT accepting the change (and I had my wife looking over my shoulder to make sure I didn't make an error). I can either keep screwing around doing the same thing and expecting different results (which according to Einstein would mean I am insane).


OR, I can delete ALL my Shahrivar maps that I have played SP on and start over with one map (which I don't know that I trust the map on the first page to be that map).

OR, I can withdraw as I honestly don't want to delete all the maps I have. It seems that everyone else is ok except me and I am doing (I promise you) EXACTLY what Fantoman said to do. Problem is, I KNOW he knows what to do and somewhere along the line I am just screwing it up but for the life of me (and my wife who read his directions also) I can't get it to work.

I need to get away from this for 1/2 hour before I throw it out a window.

I will check back for a concensus in a few minutes.

Sorry guys for the holdup

All you have to do is change the name of the tga file you downloaded to Shahrivar_Som.tga . I had the same problem you did but that fixed it immediately, and it solves the problem with all possible versions of the Shahrivar map. All these complicated steps you're taking seem unnecessary.

Here's my working copy of the map, it's all I can think of at this point. If that doesn't fix it, then the map might not be your problem.

Glad something worked, even if I'm not sure why.

[Ragnars Wolves]

I havn't got a clue...BUT the rest of my maps are working also as I tested them. Guess Einstein was right....
