I tried to play this map last night, initially I was kicked from the game (while trying to join the server directly) with a 'String table differs' error.
I deleted the copy of the map I had (from a short while ago - it was in vpk format) and then installed the one the server suggested, and I got in fine - I suspect the map author did not change the version number in the vpk file. - Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jonah Hirsch Sent: Monday, 13 July 2009 6:13 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] L4D Custom Campaigns + Versioning Issue I've seen people who don't have the VPK, but have the maps get in the lobby. I've seen people who don't have the VPK at all get in. I've seen people who have an older version of the VPK get in.
