That is one of things that is crashing us now. Host has that map pack. User connecting don't. game tries to send map, but since, it is in the map pack, it has no idea how to deal with it, and it can't find anything to send. If we send false on that condition, then the User still don't have the map, and it requests the map again, and we run into a infinite loop. My patch right now, has a force exit() to the host, since *all* players must have that map pack to work correctly. The other option would be to kick the user that don't have the map pack. And since we can't send messages on a kick, they will try to connect again & again...
