Hello. Started up my own dedicated server (search for the "plays for fun" server located in Washington, USA) and finally got enough figured out where people can connect and play Melee. But I didn't set up a dedicated server to play what I can play in any other game...I want the Storm!!!

So I finally figured out that the maps with the storm (tornado) are Royal maps...I 'think' I found the proper Royal script and I found out I need to start the server with a special command line...

Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me figure out where I get the Royal maps. I would have thought that they would just come with the game already but according to GameServers.com (who hosts my server) the server does NOT come with the Royal maps (or the Elite or the Joust) and must be added manually. So...where do I find the Royal maps?

Thank you for your time.

Typically here:

Servers also often use some 3rd party "controller" to administrate the server from ingame (adding maps without restarting the server, kicking people etc etc), some game server hosters do not provide/allow this for whatever but it's imo quite essential, typically simplifies your life (e.g. maniacontrol has a map search/adder built in).

Thank you both for the link! Next question then...are there no 'official' Nadeo maps for Royal then? I certainly don't mind using other maps but, well, was hoping for the 'official' ones as well...

But thank you VERY much for the links!

If you download the dedicated server files you'll find in the maps folder all "oficial" mappools

(normally those should be available on gameservers, this it's matchsettings etc)

For many nando titlepacks they're hidden in the titlepack (for some stupid reason), there's some matchsettings also hidden in the titlepack using them. No idea what they're called since they're all hidden into the titlepack . I think some example startup file uses the royal matchsettings file, just grep for Royal in all sh files or so and you'll find it .

oh thank you all soo much! You all have been SUCH a big help! Thank you

Downloading maps and such now...have work this weekend but will probably get server updated Monday if anybody is interested.
