i recently tried to join my server i was hosting with a map i made and i kept geting a map not found error. i joined through another game but the error still persits. is there an easy fix to this? i'm new to map making. ^^;

You aren't the only victim. Heck, I couldn't even join a HTF server hosting htf_Futura, and that's even an official map! 1.3.1 should fix this, and that's bound to be released soon.

it's got to be more than coincidence that it's happening to only the map i made. did i do something wrong when i made the map the soldat doesn?t like? do you know of any issues off the top of your head that would cause this? my map's pretty n00bish and all kinds of bugs in it.

EDIT: i "fixed" it. basically if you're map has a really long file name (mine was fortress_beta7) soldat gives the map not found error. i shortened the name and now it works.
