<div class="IPBDescription">Why?</div> OK, now I've been mapping for awhile but have never released anything before so when it comes to packaging everything I'm the world's biggest nub. However, I didn't run into it like a nub, I read lots of tutorials and documentation on it and I was pretty sure I nailed everything. So here's my problem: my map runs fine in a single player game, I've had various people test it on their systems in a single player game, however, when uploaded to a server my map either:
A) Does not run; restarts the server; crashes the server
B) Allows everyone access to the readyroom but when a game attempts to start it boots everyone BACK to the readyroom.
So here's as much information as I can think to give:
I have WAD included all WADs, included all Models/Sounds/Sprites (Like I said it runs fine on people's machines as a single player game.)
I have included all NS: Combat Entities required, Command Console, Hive, info_mapinfo, 32 Player Starts in the RR and 16 on each corresponding team.
I have no errors in my compile log and the server's log never says anything about an error before it goes nuts.
Here is my map package: <a href='http://mappers.riseofpower.net/Co_Rats_b2_fix.zip' target='_blank'>http://mappers.riseofpower.net/Co_Rats_b2_fix.zip</a>
If anyone can shed some light on this one I'd be very interested as I would like my maps to be enjoyed by my clan and possibly others.
Thanks so much and if I didn't provide any information that you may need, please ask and I will be glad to give it to you as soon as possible.
Thanks again,

dunno if that helps at all.
btw you have a few problems where you carved some brushes, namely some small gaps and black lines appearing.

DarkATi, make sure that you make everything lowercase when you name files and refer to them in your entities -- linux filesystems are case sensitive and Windows isn't, so a file that Windows finds might appear to be absent under linux. That's probably part of the problem--linux will think that "co_rats" and "Co_rats" aren't the same directory name.
If you want to use capital letters you can, but you need to be very careful to always use consistent capitalization for each filename; all lowercase is easier to keep track of so I'd highly recommend it.
EDIT: Iy spel gud.

The entries in the .res file need to be all lowercase, too. The server is searching for files with uppercase characters.
You also should try using a '/' character instead of a '\' character as your directory separator in your .res file paths -- linux expects '/', and modern windows systems can handle either in a file path as long as the parser knows it's not the start of a switch (command line option).

Yes! It works, BUT NO IT DOESN'T now whenever a game starts it boots everyone back to the RR, what would cause this?

I haven't used ripents on your map to check this, but I will if this isn't the cause...
Did you check start built on the (actual) command chair and any (actual) armories in the map?

That was the problem Cagey, yes, the Hive and CC and armory were all unchecked, so naturally it thought the game was over as soon as it had begun.
