I made a custom map just for testing purposes. I was able to get it to show up locally and play it. I now want to put it on my server, but it wont show up in the map list. I put it where I normally put custom downloaded maps, but it wont show up. Is there anything special I have to do to make it work? I named it DM-testmap, so I figured it would show up as deathmatch. Is there more to it?

Hey Red, ok sure thing I can help you out with this.
First off what you need to do is edit the "UTMapLists.ini"
- Location on server: UT3/UTGame/Config/UTMapLists.ini
I will use your test map as an example ok.
- Open the UTMapLists.ini file and scroll down till you see [DMMapList UTMapList]
- You will see something like this, in red will be your map so follow along.
[DMMapList UTMapList]
LastActiveMapIndex=18
MapReplayLimit=0
AutoLoadPrefixes=
Maps=(Map="DM-Arsenal")
Maps=(Map="DM-Biohazard")
Maps=(Map="DM-Sanctuary")
Maps=(Map="DM-Deck")
Maps=(Map="DM-Defiance")
Maps=(Map="DM-Deimos")
Maps=(Map="DM-Diesel")
Maps=(Map="DM-Gateway")
Maps=(Map="DM-HeatRay")
Maps=(Map="DM-Fearless")
Maps=(Map="DM-RisingSun")
Maps=(Map="DM-Sentinel")
Maps=(Map="DM-ShangriLa")
Maps=(Map="DM-Carbonfire")
Maps=(Map="DM-Morbias")
Maps=(Map="DM-DarkMatch")
Maps=(Map="DM-EdenInc")
Maps=(Map="DM-KBarge")
Maps=(Map="DM-OceanRelic")
Maps=(Map="DM-Turbine")
Maps=(Map="DM-Testmap") <----- Edit this line of code here like I did for you.
After your done editing "UTMapLists.ini" save and upload it to your server.
Now on your server you have a command line, looks something like this.
server DM-Testmap?maxplayers=24?numplay=16?botskill=2 -multihome=208.167.224.87 -port 7777 -unattended -login=USERNAMEHERE -password=PASSWORDHERE -log=GameServers.log -nohomedir
As for WebAdmin here are the steps you take after editing your "UTMapLists.ini" file. Just a heads up, usually you don't have to edit the "UTMapLists.ini" manually when your using the WebAdmin. Just install the maps in the correct directory and WebAdmin will notice it. Then continue from steps 1 through 7 and you should be all goodie!
1. Sign into webadmin (obviously lol)
2. Click on Map Lists on the bottom left
3. In the drop down click on "DMapList"
4. Under Available Maps click on "Deathmatch" and a new list will pop up
5. Look under Map Cycles and you should not see "DM-Testmap"
6. Click on "Manual Add" and follow the directions in the window.
7. Save your progress and reboot your server.
Hope that helps dude!
