Ok, I downloaded the Simpsons map. It was originally a CS map but was converted to work with DoD 1.0. The map loads fine and you can fly around in free-look but when you pick a side and class you don't spawn. You just continue to fly around in free-look. Any ideas on how to fix this?

rofl sounds like the mapper didnt put the correct player start entities in :D info_player_allies, info_player_axis & less importantly info_player_observer

hmmmmmm without info_player_axis /allies entitys the map won´t be indicated in the map list, so you can´t run the map!

try to play again! btw my map works fine ;)

TheHunter - Could you post your copy as a link for me or point me to another spot to get this map.

Mike's Marauders has it, it's in my siggeh.

I got it from Mike's and he has a disclaimer stating it won't work in Lan games and to download some other files for the server piece on the map.

I haven't tried it out but it looked cool to try out. If it works let me know and I'll install it.

Still doesn't work. map loads fine and I can fly around and look at it. I choose sides and it says you will spawn as *******. Then just stays that way. I can fly around all I want.

I went to mike mauraders page. loaded the file it didn't even come up in the map list.

puts a .wad file in the vavle dir not the dod file.

Can someone please post a link for a working version of this. Thanks.

sry omni one, the link is missing! maybe i have an zip of the map on my pc! let me see... ;)

Actually, when HL asks for a WAD file in the valve directory, it's first looked for the file in the MOD directory, then it looks for the file in the VALVE directory. Just stick the WAD in the DOD folder, and everything should be OK, but if you really want, you can stick it in the valve folder.

Mods can use wads from the valve folder, but from no other directories (Except also from its own- e.g. DOD can use wads from DOD + VALVE folders, but not GEARBOX).

I can't download any maps from Mikes Marauders, just getting DNS errors.

Finally got the map. Anybody gotten it to work in LAN yet?

Omni One - I have the same problem

I've still got it installed in the hopes that someone can fix it. I'm a Simpson's nut and would love to play this just for fun.

I have the same problem with this map and have moving the wad files renaming etc with no luck. The map doesnt appear in the map list and can only get the map up by using changelevel in the console. Does anyone know how to fix this cos it looks ace!

Cheers.

In order to run it add "+map de_simpsons" to the end of the command line on your DOD shortcut. Since it was originally a CS map it has no DOD entities. The map itself was not modified at all, the changes were done server side. That's why you can't spawn. You need Metamod and Stripper2 to be able to actually play it in a lan game.

Thanks for your help, I didnt realise the map hasnt been converted, never mind! Ill just get CS as it seems easier!
