Argh!

Ok, here's what I did in order:

Downloaded ALL BK and Vengeance terrain files. Vengeance terrain files were extracted to resource/maps. BK terrain files were extracted to a new folder, then I ran the BKterrain.exe on it. I then downloaded and installed the BK and Vengeance map packs from http://www.mektek.net/downloads/mw4/maps/m...aps/vbkconv.htm

Except none of the maps showed up in Mercs.

SO, I went to http://www.mektek.net/download.php?op=view...7&orderby=dateD
and downloaded every single map and installed them. [Some claimed the map was already installed]

Only SOME of the maps showed up.

Maps not available:
[Partially fixed]
Polar Tundra is still missing.

All other BK/V maps are present.

Hello,

Did you run the update.exe file?
Did you get errors?
If you had errors, did you run the batch files ?

What happened to me once was that the subfolders were too "deep", away from the root directory. I reinstalled Mercs closer to the root and didn't use spaces in the folder names, and it worked fine.

Yes
No, it is as if the maps do not exist.

No subfolders below c:program files/microsoft games/mechwarrior mercenaries/resource/maps.

Sorry for taking so long to come back at you.

Will you do this for me? Take the maps to be patched - they're listed in the installer - and move them to a folder named c:/merctemp. Put the updater executables in there too. Run them now. Once they're patched, moved them back to the resource/maps folder with all the rest.

There is a separate download for Polar Thundra.

Found here.

I've installed both map packs (V/BK), copied the terrain from the CD's, now I can play the old maps. However I still occasionally get directed to the Mektek site on certain maps and also dropped from the game... Are there some maps that aren't in the Map pack? If so can they be put in?

I just noticed that there is a seperate download for polar tundra. Why isn't this in the pack?

Check out the NBT downloads section Heng. There are many more maps included in most servers, ie. MercStorm, MekTek, AlphaStrike and NewBattlefields. Sorry can't make a link out of it ... weird, it doesn't show the exact link in NBT after i press the download section.

I'm not sure why Polar Tundra has a separate download, but i think it was converted last compared to the other VB/BK maps.
