Insurgency Third Party Map issues

[glennhumphreys]

I have been building the map content on my rented NFOserver "Blackbear". Looking for a useful source for such maps, I found the INSMAPS website, which seems (?) to be related to the Steam system. Assuming it as a reliable source, I downloaded three maps: <winter_rescue_v1>, <the_burbs_coop>, and <baden_coop_v1>. Uploading these via FTP to my Insurgency/maps subdirectory, and listing them in the "mapcycle.txt" and "mapcycle_coop. txt" (syntax as above) files, I found that winter rescue was the only one that worked. Baden_coop_v1 crashed the server with the message "Host error recursively entered", which required a breakout and then a server reboot to get things working again. The Burbs simply seized the server up, requiring me to break out and reboot my server.

In all three cases, I loaded the BSP and the NAV files to the map subdirectory. The file coloection in the ZIP file also included a mysterious TXT file As I said, it worked only for winter rescue.

My first question is this. Judging from the descriptions for the INSMAPS these maps in their collection, they all should be expected to work. Interesting enough, I did find that the Savannah servers group has a demo server with a working copy of the burbs. Is this situation with unpredictable map function normal for these mapping websites?

My second question follows from my first. Are these maps occasionally buggy - or am I simply not doing something to program in my uploads?? (I note that these maps ALSO came with a TXT file which appears to contain formatting commands, but with no suggestion if or which config file they should be entered into).Are there additional config file changes - beyond listing the map names in the map files - that need to be made for some or all of these maps??

It's very possible the source you downloaded from served you an outdated, broken or corrupted map that no longer works. This can sometimes be common with third-party maps as developers will release new versions with no way to actually update previous versions hosted elsewhere. As with anything third-party it's also very possible the content is just broken or doesn't work very well.

I'd search around and try uploading a fresh copy of the map, you'll also want to be sure that you get the correct version since INS used to be a Sourcemod then was released as a stand-alone. In theory the maps should still work, but it's possible they won't and need to be updated.

Yhanks, Kraze. I was coming to this conclusion, talking to others in my group. I am embarrassed to admit that what happened in this case is that I unzipped the file pckage incorrectly. The fil now works well.

Got a little problem attempting to load a map "badel_coop_v1" on my rented server. I've tried every which was to get it to load, and I've done google searches until my eyes crossed. The best I can do is get the thing to load the map opening screen, after which the system disconnects.

If anybody has any insight into what is going on here, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Now, this map is the most recent version, lots of people appear to be able to make it work. The map files are loaded into my maps directory (badel_coop_v1. bsp; badel_coop_v1.nav; and even badel_coop_v1.txt). And the map name is entered into my mapcycle.txt and mapcycle_coop.txt files on my server.

So, I did as systematic study I could. The following are the results (apologies for the length of this thing):

Note from map source INSMAPS Gamer (insgamer.com/downloadCategory.php?id=Maps&page=1) Community.
Information Note: The map files from this site are downloaded within .zip compression files. After uncompressing the .zip file of the particular map, place the files within your insurgency2 game directory in the following folder path destination: insurgency/maps/. To load a map within Insurgengy, in console [~] type map and the respective map name.
