I am trying to get my 8 man server updated to the new patch, also since auto download works i want to put soem good custom maps on the server. Any suggestions on the maps?
I will post the ip and pw for the server as soon as my host updates the server.

Just take the maps from the VIA mapping contest. It includes l4dm2 (Monsoon), q4req1 (requiem's nice map) q4dade1, methtourney1, kat_q4dm1, etc.
If you want a good q3ctf1 remake, take mbduelingkeeps. Don't forget pjw4dm1 and tymon's nice maps ts_q4dm1/2/3.

Np.
Testing Q4 maps online finally is becoming viable.

I believe you won't be able to set up 1.1 servers with custom maps until *ALL* the maps are updated to "Addon" pk4s.

ok, for the time being i have set the server with the quakemas pack and stock maps.
The server is located in nyc : connect 64.242.242.225:28004; password private

Naw, autodl works fine
snippet from a server cfg thats running the zoggpak and pjw4dm1
set net_serverdownload "2"
set net_serverDlBaseURL "ftp://ftp.mhgaming.com/Quake4/pk4s/"
set net_serverDlTable "q4base/zoggpak.pk4;q4base/pjw4dm1.pk4"
PS (mods) why no ftp linking?

Do you still have to have the map even if it isn't being played?

No, it appears the addon.conf is the solution.
Including the addon.conf in x.pk4 does allow clients to join if the x.pk4 is not currently being played and they don't have x.pk4. Still messing with it to see how it works.
So far I've got:
forget about the def/<mapname>.def
use the addon.conf in the root of your pk4 instead.
Not sure why it works, but it appears to.
(this is all from the mappers perspective - the pk4 must be built properly)
