Issues Joining Servers

Ninjasquirrel · August 2003

ok for awhile now ns and hl have been acting up whenever i try to join a server more often then not it says your map ns_(map name here) differs from the server. now unless everyone else runs some secret map set i dunno why even after a reinstall it still says my maps dont match.... but if i reset like 10 times sometimes lost and eclipse work.... if anyone knows what this is or why it does this plz help lol

Sounds like you don't have 2.0. get it? or reinstall it.

Ninjasquirrel · August 2003

yeah i do have 2.0 and i have reinstalled it. the part i dont understand is why right after i install it tells me that my maps differ, BUT if i restart 10+ times occasionally lost and eclipse work....

go see where ns is installed to. c:\sierra\counter-strike\ns

is the right dir for cs retail.

Ninjasquirrel · August 2003

-_- i dont use cs retail i have norm hl

Strapon2 · August 2003

then it should be ...sierra\half-life\ns

right and what am i looking for

I could only think of three things, first make sure you downloaded NS 2.0.
Second, make sure you deleted/replace all the old maps from 1.04 with 2.0.
Third, make sure you join a 2.0 server and not a 1.04.

ok the thing is i know i have 2.0 and the maps have been replaced and i join the right servers, but the thing is if i reset a couple times i can play on lost and eclipse....

open your ns maps dir

right click on bast and check the file size (should be 5,127,400 Bytes)
if it hapens to be 5,198,516 bytes then you have old maps <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
and if it is any other ## you have bad maps <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

whoa thats kinda weird none of my maps are the right size... thx ill dl ns again and see if that works

*edit* would custom skins effect map size?

MonsieurEvil · September 2003

They shouldn't. If you're worried about downloading weird maps and such from a server, you can set

cl_allowdownload 1
