"This server will NOT allow spawning and getmap"
#1
Hello, AC community! I recently stumbled upon this game and I'm having the time of my life. :)

However, on certain maps in multiplayer mode (unless I'm mistaken, two of them are ac_toxic and ac_arabian) the message that I posted in the "thread subject" line appears in big red letters near the bottom of my screen, where frags are usually announced: This server will NOT allow spawning and getmap!

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Assault Cube, but to no avail. The problem still persists.

I'm on Mac OS X (more specifically a Macbook Pro from late '08, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).

Please help me, and thank you in advance!

Wow, thanks! That was quick! :)

I followed your link, but how do I actually go about downloading the appropriate files? Also, there are two listed for each map -- .cfg and .cgz

Which one (or both?) should I download?

Thank you very much!

Download both, and replace both. Although, if you really want to do it fast, download just the cgz, I doubt the cfg will matter much. Click the link that is the file you want, and then right under the title "SCM Repositories" there is a blue link titled "Download". Click that.

Your welcome!

Thanks for the help thus far!

When I clicked on the folder entitled "maps" within all of my AC stuff, most of the maps don't even come up. o.O Should I download the GNU tarball, unpack the file, then swap the map file I already have for all of the maps from the link you posted?

Also, one final thing -- I clicked "download" and it gave me an html with a lot of text. :(

Ope, never mind -- I just downloaded the .cgz file and I placed it into the map folder. :)

Only arabian and toxic are affected. I am confused by parts of your post, so you still have questions, re ask them.
