All serverside maps are made in Level Edit. They only use the presets, Objects, in the presets tree (apart from terrain which only one file (terrain) can be loaded at one time). You can find everything you need (and if you add more presets, more) in the objects branch for you're map.

Hosting these maps:

To host these maps, save the completed map and find the mod folder (usually: C:\Program Files\Renegade Public Tools\lvledit\<mod folder>\Levels) and copy the *.ldd to the servers data folder along with the original *.mix map. Then host the respective map.

so, if i created a death match for walls flying(like i have done Smile

) and copyed the *.ldd across then host the game with the map of the *.ldd it should work.

by that, i mean my svrcfg_cnc.ini map section should look similar to this:

MapName=C&C_Walls_Flying.ldd

;
; The map cycle. This is the order that maps will be played. There must be at
; least one map in the list.
;
MapName00=C&C_Walls_Flying.ldd

uhm...
you dont play the .idd file, just the .mix
the .idd in your data overrides the one in walls_flying.mix
the svrcfg_cnc.ini is only for mission host use

i meant as in change one weapon to another(like change the flame tanks weapon to a rocket launcher) and would it still be counted as server side?

I didnt read all the other posts so excuse if i repeated something...

Serverside mod is something many servers in renegade use. Such as CTF or Sniper only... Best example is ultra/crazy type aow.
All your doing is changing the presets. Its best to save the map as a .lvl example: Field.lvl As for the mod itself just go to "file" then "exit" im not sure if its the correct names but thats what it looks like. THen it will ask you if you wanna save the mod. Click yes...

Then go into your renegadetools folder "C:\Westwood\RenegadeTools2" In those lines. Then go into preset and look for objects.ddb (Thats the mod) Rename that into objects.aow and place that into your FDS data folder and run the server.

As for the maps. Just go to the map section in your rentools folder and you should see YOURMAP.ldd & YOURMAP.lsd both saved. Place them both into the FDS data folder aswell...

No, *.lsd will crash the server, only place the *.ldd in the data folder, it will override the original .ldd in the map.
Also, make sure the name of the ldd is identicle to the .mix map you're making it for.

does the .isd crash the server?
I once used a modified .isd and It didn't crash, well it didn't work anyway.
But looking around to see possibilities is a good idea

Make sure that the .ldd (ONLY the .ldd) is in the data folder and if you added/temped presets in the tree include the objects.aow (make sure SSAOW is installed).
