okay son.

first your maps.
you have to change the mapslist.txt to include each map you want to play. with the exact name as the map appears in the maps folder.
eg
ctf_B2b
ctf_Laos
etc
etc

as for playing in it.
can you get access to your game? by opening the normal soldat and typing 127.0.0.1 in the ip address box and then clicking join game?

if so we can go from there. if not tell us how far you get.

welcome to the fun world of running game servers, first off, any server-related issues should be in the server help forum.

In that forum there's a Sticky that has all the general information about running a server.

Once you do the things in there, edit mapslist.txt and add a line for each map that you want to put in there. For example, if you want ctf_B2b, you would put ctf_B2b on its own line. Make sure you have your capitalization identical to the file names, and also make sure that you do not have an extra line at the end of the file.

If you have custom maps you're adding to the server, make sure you put the map in the /maps folder, and make sure all textures and sceneries are in their appropriate folders as well.

Please be sure to read the stickies and use the forum search if you have other questions, because most noob questions get asked all the time.
