IF! you will look at the bottom of this file you will see game.setMapId "DC_Final" which was game.setMapId "DCX" which is now obviously changed now i applied all of this and putt all of it in dcf folder and all i started to load it and it crashed
WTF!! any ideas

uhhh well so what youre saying is anything with a dcx on it needs to be dcf ??

ill axe you in xfire cuz i might need help

im not sure that replacing the texture running thing would work cuz ther is no previouse map like that in dcf to run it off

yes there is
the original dcx map
put it there
let your oo1 do its bidness
worst case if it can be done take you 3 days
I told you when I did urban sige sp coop ai add in from dnamro for my server wasnt easy
you gotta check all the calls in the map if dcx didnt self contain the stuff you might have an impossible time in finding equivalents in Dc_f

dude, i thought your crappy 'puder couldnt handle DCX? hell i took it off so you could play on the server, or did you get the hot little number fired up, the new one, mmmm, i want one!!!
