gee ................ so many great maps to download but where are the servers that host them? I must have over 20 different maps but rarely do the servers (at least the ones displaying from the game ) have any of the new or old ones just the plain ole-standard maps that came with the game.

any ides where I can play some of the newer maps that are posted here ?

check out {BHC} battleground custom maps
they have alot of the newer maps and they have made the old ones look different. its a good server

I run quite a few different maps on my server.

IP is: 63.170.71.60
Mazzic's Server

Yes, Mazzic was one of the first servers I use to play custom maps on. Still have your page book marked.

Also check out the AA.com dedicated game server.
The server info is located at the top of this forum in a sticky

I keep trying to run custom maps, but because no one has them the server gets quiet... too quiet...

So I set it back to stock when no one's there to see if people will start showing up. If I had more people who were willing to download some maps, then I'd probably just leave it on custom maps.

IP is currently: 205.177.13.80

What I find is you need to have both custom and stock maps. mix them up .

stock stock custom custom stock stock custom custom

This way you can use autokick to broadcast, your running custom maps and where to download them. A lot of the newer players don't know where to get maps or how to install them.

Hey RudeDog, I didn't know you visited my server. :>

Yea the problem with the maps is that it is a hassle to get them distributed. I have gone through the trouble to zip them up into a self-extracting archive and make it auto unzip the maps in to the default mohaa install directory.

This has helped out alot. Most people don't know where to put the maps..so this handles that. I run my own "autokick" program, which has server announcements..and I am constantly announcing to get the maps goto http://www.mazzic.org. I also send warnings that if you dont have the custom maps you will get dropped when we go to them.

Helps quite a bit. But I hope EA fixes the sv_download option in the expansion pak.

I started playing MP on your server in the early days of MOH.

I just don't get to play that much anymore. with work and making sure the members here pick up after themselves

I also just finished my first guide for using RCON. I hope to get some playing time again. I need to stop back by your server sometimes.

had some really good games on your server. I was "getting my feet wet" or shall I say, "picking the lead out of my butt "

Keep up the good work with the server. It's a classic!

Thanks, RD, that's a good suggestion. I'll take another look at the rotation and see if I can mix it up better. I was trying something like:

custom stock custom stock custom stock

Problem with that, I think, is that there's not enough time for the stock players to stick around. But I think having two stock maps in a row is too long of a time with so few custom map players. With the server's age, would probably be better for me to do something like this:

stock stock custom stock stock custom stock stock custom

Would probably have to double up on a stock map or two, but what do you think?

rudedog · 10-08-2002, 03:36 PM

I don't think it has anything to do with how long your server's been up.

I know when I go all custom or only a few stock the server ends up being empty.

Also I have not figured out how to get the same map to play twice in one maplist file. that will crash your server.

BHC BATTLEGROUND AND BATTLEGROUND 2 ALL HAVE CUSTOM MAPS!!!

65.113.118.54 and 65.113.118.18 :12203 ARE YOUR IPS! fire1:

Bazooka_Joe · 10-09-2002, 09:16 AM

really, you can't put the same map into the rotation twice? hmm. . . that's something to look into.

rudedog · 10-09-2002, 10:54 AM

Yes, I tried it when I first got the AA.com server. I blamed the server crash on Judas but dont tell him

You could copy the map to another name say mohdm1a and fool MOH into playing the map twice but that's a lot of work
