downloading the maps from fps banana

[CrAp]

if i download a map from fps and it a rar. file. Do i just have to put it into my cstrike/maps folder to play it? Or how does this work? same with the zip file?

[JohnMcClane]

Download WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm) and its exactly the same as a .zip
Extract the .bsp, .nav, .res, .txt and whatever else is required into cstrike/maps

[CrAp]

so if i download this programme the rar. map has the same function as the zip. file?

yup

except is sounds better

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[CrAp]

and wish 1 you recommend, the 32bit or the 64bit version?

[Mseries3]

Depends... Do you have a 32Bit or 64Bit OS?

[CrAp]

ok i downloaded all the maps and with the 32bit rarconverter-thingy i managed to get 4 of them into my mapfolder. Can play them aswell.
only1of them gives a problem:

de_stratoscope is in zip file and i cant unfold that map into my mapfolder from CSS.

Are you useing the WinZip programme to decompress it?

[Dannyf]

Does winrar not work for .zip files as well? Nearly sure I use it for them as well.

[CrAp]

no,
and now im having a prob with the Crypt map. Whenever i join s1 that map keeps downloading and the error says 'Couldnt CRC map maps/De_Crpt_CN_V1.bsp,disconnect

[Gavac220]

Have you got the map in a folder within your map directory? The actual file (De_Crpt_CN_V1.bsp) must sit in there. In the root of maps. Is your map the same version?

[Stueh]

can also be caused by a file not downloading properly

[groinshot]

if its a rar or a zip then if the file didnt download properly then it wouldnt extract properly,. no? you'd get errors.....

How are you getting on Crap? - Ask for further help, and I'm sure we can arrange to get on TeamSpeak with you and help you out.

i found it,
you were correct gav, they were in an other file into the map files. under a diff name though. Its sorted and thnx for the help, got me thru it all.
