Installation Instructions
At home:
To install any custom map
- Extract the compressed (rar,zip,7z..etc) file and look what you've got. {You can use peazip a free program for unzipping things!}
- You probably have three or four files
- mapname.bsp (THE MAIN MAP FILE)
- mapname.bsp.bz2 (optional)
- mapname.txt (optional)
- A readme (optional)
- Place mapname.bsp (and mapname.txt if you have one) into:
..\Steam\steamapps\{your steam username here\team fortress 2\tf\maps
If you have more files you will need to follow instructions in the individual readme
Running a dedicated server:
Follow the home instructions and place mapname.bsp (THE MAIN MAP FILE) into: team fortress 2\tf\maps If you have more files you will need to follow instructions in the individual readme and you will need a .res file
Then place mapname.bsp.bz2 onto your sv_downloadurl (this is if you are running fast-download) If the creator hasn't included a .bz2 file you will have to create one yourself, you can use peazip to do it (Peazip is a free zipping/unzipping program with .bz2 support)
