Missing textures on maps?

[Mousikos]

Hi,

So I'm trying to build a decent maprot. I downloaded ac_dioura from here http://ac-akimbo.net/showthread.php?tid=...=ac_dioura

Yet somehow, when I try to load the map in assaultcube it doesn't seem to download any needed textures and in fact one of the walls in game as a message "Content Missing". Is the map just missing or did I miss something really big?

You need to upload the akimbo version to the server....or make sure your client has the correct version as well...
/sendmap ac_dioura
/getmap ac_dioura
Usually I find the server map version is just obsolete...

I wget'd directly from akimbo. I guess I'll /getmap. Thanks

Sometimes /getmap doesn't fix the missing texture problem for me on some servers the map has not been converted with the map convertor for 1.2 http://upload.assaultcu.be/mapcfg.php

It works. Thanks guys

This does not fix the problem though,. Entirely
Mousikos prob might be solved, I've seen some advantages within certain places

Indeed, I noticed that myself on some servers and when I told them to get either the updated map version from AKIMBO or use map cfg converter I was told that they didn't bother, that it was just fine like that...

I don't get it, why would someone run a server full of missing content crap? Yet another AC mystery!

They've might've installed 1104's directories (for textures etc), and that's why they're able to see all the 'content' no one else is able to see (I've done this myself, so I should know :P). Though it's still no excuse to not convert the map files.

Cleaner, when are you going to finish that weaponrack model? In the current 1202 defaultmap.cfg @mapmodel #183, weaponrack is listed, but the laundry sign mapmodel is in that particular slot.

What I was trying to allude to in my original advice to Mousikos, was this...
If a server owner adds a map to his servermaps that is properly converted, it will be useless if the client has the exact same map name and version, but without the conversion applied. Because it will not force the map to be replaced by the server's version...
Likewise, there is responsibility in the hands of clients that upload their maps to ensure they have been converted properly...
To my point simply - /getmap is the correct solution should the client have an unconverted map, but the server has the converted version....
I know this hasn't been the larger issue with this topic, but in Mousikos case it made sense...
(Server version was from akimbo through wget, while his client likely had an improper version)

Yeah, thank you. I thought client would /always/ update to server version so I was confused why I couldn't get textures from my server automatically.
