Map Mod....

[JB|JustinBieber]

well im kinda new to blacklisting someone. I generally try not to blacklist but today when i got on my server someone voted up my map "baseball" and of course everyone voted yes because the map is incredibly awesome :P
only one problem...when it switched maps it went to a map that was simply a small room and in the middle it read "F*ck It (insert penis looking thing here)" so i went to my server logs and this is what they read:

"[xx.xx.xxx.xxx] V!P|Ares* sent map baseball, rev 31, 686 + 0(0) bytes written
[xx.xx.xxx.xxx client V!P|Ares* called a vote: load map 'baseball' in mode 'team deathmatch'

I immediately erased it and replaced it with the actual one...is there anyway i can get back the one "Ares" sent so i can have "proof" (if the above isn't enough proof)?


// Mod edit: Removed IP until there is proof of something wrong doing.

You had to download in order to actually see the new features of the new map... and I can see that V!P|Ares sent the map with the same name: baseball. How did you manage to revert the map without *knowing* how to get the map that V!P|Ares sent? There should be a backup of baseball with a name with something like... baseball_3987291045.BAK (I do not know the ordering of numbers, but something similar) and find the map with the "small room." Although I could be wrong, as always, backups are created every time you download or save a map with the same name.

EDIT: I forgot to include something.

Blah Blah Blah
the files are backed up

I know they are backed up but where do i find them??

[Gibstick]

The backups are only made when you use /savemap from the client. /sendmap doesn't create backups, and if it was a new map that could only be found in /incoming, you just erased it.

Oh but if they are actually backed up they would be backed up in the same directory.

As I said... if you don't know where to find the backups, how did you manage to revert? The backups should be located at username/AssaultCube_v1.1/packages/maps/ If not, then I don't know...

Yep, it should be backed up, since the map was downloaded from the client... at least, in order to see the changes on the map.

Oh...for that i went to the |FOX| server which had my original map and then i went back to my server and resent the map

If you want to avoid it happening again (to this or a different map), make sure you keep frequent backups and use securemaps.cfg if you want more of an assurance.

you can also use the command "securemap (curmap)" when editing your map.
