Custom Map on WAW Server

D-Alpha

Hey guys!
So me and my friends decided to open a server just for us to play sometime.
Of course we want to play custom maps but it doesn’t work yet.
Now my problem is that the console throws errors like couldn’t find mod (mapname ) or something with a missing asset.
I’m trying to install ugx‘s Clinic of Death.
Maybe someone can help me.

Why did you post in MW3 if you're trying to get help with hosting on WAW?

Anyways first of all why create a server?
Most of the time this is useless. Simply play custom games.

As for WAW this is even moere highly recommended.
The majority of custom maps will not work properly when people join/leave mid game so custom games is highly recommended to keep games stable and bug free

First of all why do I have to explain myself ? lmao
I just need help setting up that custom map Server is running with admin tool.
Sorry didn’t see this was the forum for mw3

And I played on another server where this certain map was running perfectly fine

D-Alpha Carefully make sure you do all of the steps correctly. Some people miss the part where you have to correctly set the map folder name in your bat file, for example, setting up the map clinic of evil would be set mod="mods/Clinic Of Evil" then in your config file change the map rotation to set sv_mapRotation "map sanatorium"

D-Alpha because hosting a server is more complex than a custom games and 95% of the time, when trying to play with friends, this is just a waste of time.
I'm just trying to make you gain time AND not have issues with your custom maps

This one map works indeed, I think Plutonium even has a fix for it in the Plutonium files but as I said majority of maps won't work properly so this is a bad idea

Unless you really need a server for a specific reason I recommend simply playing custom games which is a lot quicker and won't cause any issue, but if you still wanna

For your issue simply set the mod to the right mod and the map to the right mapname

In your bat set mod="mods/Clinic Of Evil"
In your CFG set sv_mapRotation "map sanatorium"

Of course the mod needs to be installed with that exact name in the Plutonium T4 storage so it can be accessed by the server

Looks like he got it now. I had a feeling he missed that step like most do or didn't set the correct name for the map. Now if he wants to learn about FastDL. Can give an easy solution, but it looks like he wants to host only for his friends.

D-Alpha

Thanks a lot!
Can you send me a link to the fix? That’s what’s missing. The folder structure and configs are the way you sent.

Just copy what we told you to set for your bat file and CFG. You missed couple steps mate.

The fix is auto downloaded by plutonium. It's located in AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t4\raw\scripts\sp\sanatorium

That's normal. You have to wait for the sending heartbeat afterwards. If there is no successful heartbeat then it's not setup correctly.

D-Alpha

When I try to connect it throws an error.
He cant find sanatorium.ff
How do I fix?
