    im not very technicaly skilled, so this may be a stupid suggestion, but try loading in voxed and re-saving, cause perhaps the map got saved incorrectly?

    You're not opening server.exe correctly.

    im still confused, if this is the path:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\ace of spades\server.exe
    where would i put the semicolon?

    put the map in the /vxl/ folder. Open up Server.exe, then type: mymapname
    then put the players and servername.

    Do not put .vxl, and do not put: /vxl/mymapname
    The map name can not have underscores.

    For example, my niagara falls map is anmed: niagarafalls.vxl

    I open server, type: niagarafalls
    Then I type: 32
    then I type: WhateverServer with ServerBot

    im doing all that, but when i try to join it says server timeout: version mismatch or map transfer error OR server.exe has stopped working OR ill load the map but the whole map is a black canvas and the score is in the millions, bilions, or trillions for each team.

    Did you open port 32887 UDP on your router? If you did and it still doesn't work, wait for the update this week that should fix the server bugs that have been uncovered.

    @lexysm, i already told him to do that and he said it didn't work :/
    @BoL if you read the OP then ud releize he can host normal map, he just isn't loading custom maps, so don't just read the tital and respond :/

    @BoL I do know how to spell, but I was kinda in a rush, so I wasn't checking what I was typing.

    After typing the map name, does it just freeze on you?

    hey cormz, make sure your map names don't have spaces and dashes and underscores and things (I don't know the exact specifications but keep it alpha-numeric)
    Edit: sorry, just saw your pic. Try placing the files in the vxl folder? Other than that, no idea mate.

    my map problems have grown worst, when i try to host the normal map by just typing gen, and then try to join my computer becomes realllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slow. once everything stops loading i get the full or misconfigured error message. i think this might be because of the new update? but im not really sure.

    If you host a server and run a client on the same computer, I've noticed it's slow too, they're both moderately CPU intensive and so that's expected.

    Oh right. It's always a bit laggy for me.

    The server uses so much CUP it is crazy.

    It is something that needs work.

    PySpades does not use much at all.
