I hope that's my last question about my siege server ^^' sorry to bother you with stupid questions.

I converted a siege map to mp4, I put it under UserData/Maps/

Code: Select all

Loading match settings...
Map "Siege__TryAgain_3v3.Map.Gbx" not found.
...ERROR: Map unknown.
...Could not load the match settings
the name is correct (from a copy paste, no possible problem), where should I put them ? how should I reference them in the playlist ? is there a site where I can download maps, I had a hard time with mania exchange (I downloaded a mp4 that happenned to be a mp3 map)

EDIT: I forgot to add :

Code: Select all

  <startindex>0</startindex>
  <map>
    <file>Siege__TryAgain_3v3.Map.Gbx</file>
  </map>
the map section looks like this

Turns out, map file itself wasn't ok, the error message was 'not found' which is kinda boring.

Place them in or under UserData/Maps.

For example:
UserData/Maps/TrackMania/Lagoon

After you do this, make a MatchSettings file under:
UserData/Maps/MatchSettings
(ex: MatchSettings/TM2_Lagoon_TimeAttack.txt)

In there you will reference the files like:

Code: Select all

 <map><file>TrackMania\Lagoon\SomeMap01.Map.Gbx</file></map>
 <map><file>TrackMania\Lagoon\SomeMap02.Map.Gbx</file></map>
 <map><file>TrackMania\Lagoon\SomeMap03.Map.Gbx</file></map>
EDIT: Note the paths are relative, with the base being: UserData/Maps ... so we don't include that in the path

Make sure you also reference this MatchSettings file in the command-line for launching the server:
/game_settings=MatchSettings/TM2_Lagoon_TimeAttack.txt
