Spearhead custom maps..
Hello everyone,
I did a search on the forum but couldn't come up with any solutions,
I have a friend running a mac playing spearhead...he cant get custom maps to load, he gets the loading screen/kicked to menu problem, it seems that he isn't having the min files written to his folders...he has the 1.14 update but it still isn't working?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around the problem? his friend (who also has a mac) is also having the same problem but he gets into a few custom maps.
Thankyou for your time.

Re: Spearhead custom maps..
Man, it's been a while, but there used to be a guy who was porting maps over for MOH:AA since most of the PC versions wouldn't work on a Mac.
I never ventured into the later MOH games though, not even sure if anybody picked up where he left off. 
Edit to add:
Aha!! Not sure if it's any help, but Jim Reffner is the guy who was porting all the customs over, check his Mac page here and the old MOH:AA maps are still under Downloads. (Actualy, after looking, none of the huge Map Packs he had compiled are there, just a few other versions I hadn't tried. I still have the original Map Packs, 6 in all I think, but I'd need some hefty space to upload them)
Maybe drop him an email about the Spearhead stuff, worth a shot anyway.

Re: Spearhead custom maps..
well, no joy there it seems?? Thanks anyway.
Is there anywhere that I can point my friend to that has min file archives for custom maps?

Re: Spearhead custom maps..
if memory serves me, you have to download pk3 maps only into your folder where the rest of your original maps sit.
there is for some reason a limit of 280 or so maps that you can put into mac version, anything over that will not work
apparently pc's don't have this problem...don't ask i don't know
good luck

Re: Spearhead custom maps..
problem solved!!
My friend unistalled MOHAA & spearhead, he then installed the original MOHAA and bypassed the spearhead MOHAA 1.1.4 update and pointed it towards the original MOHAA (1.1 I think).
He can now get into any custom map on servers and write min files (which he can pass on to other mac users that want to run that map)
thanks for your help everyone.
