Server Help

hey this happened last night.
i created my own map finally

I downloaded my hosts server.ini file changed it to read the new map name (made sure map name was correct) saved it.

then I put *putfile mapname.lvl and *putfile server.ini so the server would now read the new map, then I *recycled . the server never came back up...i tested the map with my own local server and it worked fine... what could have caused the crash of the server doing that? cant or shouldnt putfile server.ini?

if something is wrong how to fix it besides a reboot (ill know tomorrow if it reboots when the host logs on.)

if it was red - did you still try to enter?
is the zone on a static ip? if not, did you redownload zone list?

ok, i renamed it, might have been too long, works now.

next: Ive placed some flags in the centre of my map, flags that you cant pick up, however they dont show up in there... they show up scattered around the deep space nine structure on my map, they are fixed in position....ive tried every flag mode what am i doing what?

OK make sure you have:
[Flag]
FlagMode=2
CarryFlags=0

that should do it.

well that didnt work, you might be happy to know that it made all the flags disappear. that were randomly around the place.

why would flags be anywhere other than where i have laid them down on the map...

finally after much prodding it did it, using your settings uploading the map constantly and wam it changed...yippe

That's good.

Something you might try to make sure the server has the correct map is to *getfile it after you put it up and see if the map you receive is the right one.
