The mapinfo files - Minkovsky - 09-24-2010

So while working on min_ctf1, I wanted to create the information file for it saying that it's CTF. Well, it didn't really work. I'm posting the mapinfo file here:
Code:
title Starship Fear
description An arena originally built by an ancient alien civilization, which now is an arena you have to fight on...
author Minkovsky
cdtrack 5
has weapons
type tdm 50 20 2
type ctf 25 10 10
Why doesn't it let me set the map to what I want it to be?

RE: The mapinfo files - Mr. Bougo - 09-24-2010

Do you have flag entities in your map?
And how did you test CTF on the map?

EDIT: Not sure if it's needed to work, but team spawns might be good to have too.

you need the flag entities and at least 2 team spawns (one red, one blue)

Apart from the above suggestions, you should check wether the automatically generated .mapinfo file (at /data/data/maps/[mapname].mapinfo) is overruling your edited one. If this is the case, you can simply delete it.

Spawn points for teams: check, used as spawn points in DM.
Flag entities: check
Map doesn't show in the create server window.

And what about what Sev said?
Also, does the map show for other game modes?

Thanks, it works.
