The two real old Geezers have attempted to load the above map in our dedicated server and we are unable to get the server to recognise that the file resides there. We are able to play the fisrt version of this map with the dedicated server without problem. Can anyone please help the Old Geezers with resolving this problem. We would like to add this map to our server that we run daily.

first of all i would like to congratulate you in your fine taste in maps. secondly i have no clue why its not working. ill do anything i can to help, but again i haven't the slightest clue why its not working.
p.s. whats the name of this server? I always love playing my own maps.

There are two problems that come to mind when I hear this. Either you have a 0KB sized file in the server's map directory or you have too many maps in that folder. Try temporarily removing a number of maps.
This map in particular is called out as: Dm_arena.rfl.
I added it to the rotation of Dinner the other day. It loads without a problem.
I have suffered in real life for the past couple years, now its your turn!

Wow great response group.
We may just have too many maps in the folder but I do not think so as I have just added both Canyon Bottom and Blind Arena (first version) and both of those load and play.
The map downloads from L4u as "Blind Arena2" and shows a file size of 3346kb and is designated as dm_blindarena2
We call our server Two Real Old Geezers (which we are as we are over 65 years of age) and we welcome allcomers who do not beat up on us to much !!.
Thanks Hapa. The Designated server attempts to call out the map as Dm_blindarena2.rfl so maybe I should perhaps change itname to as you suggest Dm_arena.rfl.
Ahh for cripes sake That works Hapa, it now is online strangely enough as Blind Arena2 and all I did was change the name in the folder to Dm_arena
Thanks Group problem solved see you online usually between 9 and 11pm Pacific time.
Cheers

yes, the file name uploaded is actually "Dm_arena.rfl" unfortunately i am and idiot and do not name my .rar files the same as .rfls... Why? because im an idiot... i guess since i dont run servers or manage map rotations i dont realize the kind of difficulty simple mistakes like these cause to people who do... i will definitely keep this in mind when releasing maps in the future. glad you all fixed my mix-up.

We just run the server when we play the maps we choose on a daily basis

This map in particular is called out as: Dm_arena.rfl.
I actually noticed the name of the .vpp and and .rfl didn't match and renamed the .vpp to match the .rfl.
blinded2 I am really surprise that you made such a rookie mistake. I've read some of your reviews on levels and thought you would know better than to name the .rfl differently than the .vpp or level properties name.

you would think so, wouldn't you? but unfortunately, in real life, i sound much more intelligent than i truly am.
