New maps are not loaded when the game starts. Please HELP

[YDA]

At startup, ET writes that new maps are needed, tries to download them, but nothing happens, just waiting for the download. Previously, maps were loaded automatically. Now they don't load In any way, For example - Z_fang on NQ and none at all. By searching here on the website, I can't find new maps to download. What to do? how do I set up the loading of maps?

[razjee]

Do you have this command in your cfg file?

cl_allowDownload 1

cl_wwwDownload 1

Z_fang

 

I will move my z_fan*.pk3 files out of my NQ folder and see if the redirect server downloads them okay.  (I have 4 such z_fang* files, so it seems 3 are old ones from years ago).

 

Okay, "z_fanq_weapons.pk3" downloaded right away, so our "redirect" server is not the problem.

 

You can look in your NQ folder (not "noquarter" as that is an older version of the mod). 

 

See if there are any *.tmp files there, such as "z_fang*.tmp" or some such.  Delete or move them and try again, after making sure of the settings that Razjee mentioned.

 

It seems that if a download is interrupted and the temporary *.tmp file is left, then the next file download attempt will fail.  The download will not continue where it left off on the same file.

Yes, I entered the settings in the command line. Nothing changed - the download does not start. 

 

 

Addition - found file Z_FANQ.tmp - deleted it, downloads do not start, but the game throws you to a server that is unavailable. On other servers - Beginner 1 and 2 - the same thing - maps do not download.

What game version do You use?

2.60b or ETLegacy?

If legacy Your mod folders are located in Documents/ETLegacy.

As for the problem, try using pk3 cleaner maybe it will help:

Если наследство Ваши папки для модов расположены в Documents/ETLegacy.

Что касается проблемы, попробуйте использовать pk3 очиститель, возможно, это поможет:

 

Yes, thanks for the tip - I found the folders, deleted all the .TMP files there - still no downloads.

After these settings ET 2.60 when starting and trying to load maps - the game throws to the server. Regardless of the loading settings in the game. How to return the loading without leaving the game?

I don't understand what to show you? And I don't understand how to control the pk3 cleaner...

It's okay. Download the pk3 cleaner for etlegacy and then just run it.

How many *. TMP files did you find?

Having more than one or two may mean that something on your system is interering with downloading the files and you are only left with *. TMP versions of them.
It almost sounds like each time that your ET tries to download a PK3 file that it does not have, something is stopping the completion of the download. Perhaps your ET is not doing the last task of downloading the files, renaming the . TMP extenstion of the filename to ". PK3".

 

You could try renaming the *. TMP files with the extension *. PK3 , just as a test. 😄
 

The next time you connect to a server and ET seems to download the mapName.PK3 file, but it does not run the map. Go to your Enemy Territory/ Etmain folder and change the extension from TMP to PK3. Restart ET and try to join the server. Hopefully, that map will still be running on the server.
 

 

Are you "running ET.exe as administrator"?

When you run the file, it simply extracts the files to the Legacy folder. When you run the game, the interface has changed. The maps still don't load.

Did i also understand right that You sometimes use 2.60b and sometimes legacy?

Try to join the server and make a photo even with phone of the screen and send it to us so we see what it says.

 

Does it only happen on nq? Or other servers too?
