Hi Everyone
I need some advice on downloading maps.
Do you unzip them into the MoH (EA games Folder)
And can you practise on the levels
cheers

Hiya,
yep you just unzip them to your mohaa main folder
usually C:\Program Files\EAGAMES\MOHAA\Main
It's quite easy to pratice on the maps, you can set up your own mohaa server using the server setup option in the multiplayer screen or just jump into one of the smaller hamsterservers (either hamsterserver 1, 2, 3, 4 or 8 ) as they do run a lot of the newer maps and are probably the best place to pratice before going on the bigger hamster 5 server :D
Maps are easy -- place the .pk3 files in the MoHAA/main folder with the files called Pak0.pk3, etc. Note: .pk3 files are actually in WinZip format so if you make an association between the extension .pk3 and WinZip you can view the contents of the .pk3 file.
To practice on the levels try running and connection to your own MoH:AA server. Create a desktop shortcut to E:\MoHAA\MOHAA_server.exe +set dedicated 1 +set ui_console 1 +set g_gametype 1 +set sv_maxclients 17 +map dm/mohdm6 +exec server_main.cfg and copy the following to a file called server_main.cfg in MoHAA/main folder.

Once the server starts, then in the console you can type the map command to change maps i.e. map dm/mohdm6.

Heh - I recognise some of my comments in there Mike. EA did bugger it up BTW so you can delete that line if you want.
