Do you have a PC or mac? If you have PC try loading and testing your map online. Once you test it it should show up in your MAPS folder automatically.

Hope this helps

the '.min' is generated by MOHAA or moh_spearhed when you first run the map. It will be created in the folder that '.bsp' files reside, such as 'main\maps\dm' or 'mainta\maps\dm' for Spearhead. After it is created, it can be added to your '.pk3'. That way when you distribute your map, the loading bar will work the first time.

This is very improtant if you have Mac users wanting to play your map....you have to supply them with that .min file. 8)

Not sure what to tell you about the '.min' file. I've never seen it not be created unless it already exixted somewhere.

Unfortunately you have to check the ?Use GameSpy:? box for you game to show up in people?s servers list.

I DO HAVE IT CHECKED AND IT STILL DOES NOT SHOW UP ON ANY SERVERS

THIS IS FRUSTRATING

Are you using a router or using a proxy?

yep, sounds like he is behind a router.

If you see a loading bar when your map loads the .min file has to be there somewhere. Do a search on your computer for all files with the name of your .bsp file.

Woohoo, I did my first edit of someone else's post. Sorry Gen D it was you...

You had the closing bold slash on the wrong side of the square bracket.
