Hey guys, just wondering if anybody could give me a hand with a small problem i'm having.

I've been working on a server-side map for T1 (because i'm crazy), but i'm getting this weird error problem. Whenever people try to connect to my client which is hosting the map, they get this error:

Can anyone help me out with this?
I know that for maps to be server side (only the server requires it to play) the terrain files (.ted) must remain unedited. I've made no changes to the ted file, but i've never seen this error before. I don't even know where this ADishBestServedCold.dtf file IS.

Little help? Thanks.

The .dtf file is part of the terrain file if I remember correctly. Look at the code in the .mis file:
instant SimTerrain "Terrain" {
tedFileName = "ADishBestServedCold.dtf";
visibleDistance = "500";
hazeDistance = "400";
hazeVerticalMin = "1.04964e-38";
hazeVerticalMax = "7.57127e-38";
perspectiveDistance = "50";
screenSize = "55";
contGravity = "0 0 -20";
contDrag = "0";
contHeight = "10000";
position = "-3072 -3072 0";
rotation = "0 0 0";
};
Get ADishBestServedCold.ted from somebody who hasn't edited the map at all and replace yours with that. Should be all set then. :) Even if you don't physically change the terrain while editing the map saving it can change the file and make it different from other players' files. Been a while since I've mapped for t1 but I think that should solve your problem. :)

Cool. I restored mine from a patched copy of the game installed in another directory, and that seems to have fixed it. :) Thanks.
