OK, I d/led concourse, royal guard, and the two other mercs maps, but can't get them to work. Do I need to use winzip or something?
What is the teamspeak site? and what comms are we using?
What is the setup for IRC?
I want to get back in the saddle ASAP so please tell me what I need to download, and how to get the maps to work.

Hey Venom , I just got those too the other night. You’ll need to read the instructions after the map name and install them properly in order for them to work. The Zip files go into your resourse\usermissions folder. The others have a quick install that puts them in the right place. Once you get them all in ,… run the md5chk-bk and md5vhk-veng programs in your resource\map folder. Host up a game after your done and drop in the maps to make sure they work. If they don’t all work , check and make sure you have all the Mek Tek terrain files. Oh and yes , you'll need Win Zip or PK Zip to unzip them.

I will try that asap. I was able to get another map pack to work I forget which one.
I can't D/L the BK and vengeance conversion stuff. A page comes up saying:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/mktek23www/files/download.php on line 942
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/mktek23www/files/download.php:942) in /home/mktek23www/files/download.php on line 943
When I click to DL.

That’s weird Venom , I got all my stuff here at this site. http://www.mektek.net/downloads/mw4/map ... bkconv.htm
I had to download the Terrain files 1 @ a time. Then ran the Map Packs just like Mek Tek wanted me too. It worked for me if I started with a fresh map folder.
Their Official site of Mek Tek is here @ http://www.mektek.net/index.php
Im really not sure what the errors are that your getting. I know one thing tho , is that if you don’t have the latest internet explorer and the latest Micro Soft Virtual Machine ,.. your going to have problems connecting to some web sites.

I have these maps. I think they are all the ones I DLed, some might be stock.
Tumbleweed, Aspen, Canyon, Crossover, Ghost Highway, Halthon, Mine HQ, Ridgerunner, River Canyon, Rubble, Warzone, Cantina, Coldfire, Lakeside, Mechworks, Royal Guard Pro, Spaceport, VBase, Orbital Decay.
I think these are the BK maps with some newer ones. What Else must I DL?

Once you’ve gathered all the Terrain files and EXE Installers at the above Mek Tek page , you’ll need to go here and grab the MekTek Mercs Pro Map Conversions.

I can't get the vengeance conversions to work I DLed them. I ran the m5d-vengeance something program and still can't get the maps to work.

I was able to get the BK conversions to work, but not the Vengeance ones.
I will try ASAP. I have already DLed the Vengeance and Terrain files, but can't get them to work. I will try what you said soon.

Alright Falker, here I go. I already DLed the stuff you have specified. The BK conversions work. I haven't got the ProMaps to work except for Royal Gaurd pro.

I ran the VTerrain file and tried to install it. An error message came up saying that the files could not be found. The files were:
ALPINE01.MW4
ALPINE02.MW4
ALPINE03.MW4
ARCTIC01.MW4
ARCTIC03.MW4
ARCTIC04.MW4
ARCTIC06.MW4
DESERT02.MW4
DESERT07.MW4
LUNAR01.MW4
PALACE01.MW4
URBAN01.MW4
URBAN02.MW4
URBAN05.MW4
SWAMP01.MW4
SWAMP02.MW4
SWAMP03.MW4
I don't know why it said these files couldn't be found.
I will move on to the Pro maps and hopefully have more luck.

Go into
C:\Program Files\Microsoft games\Mechwarrior mercenaries\RESOURCE\MAPS
and run "update.bat". Hopefully that should sort it.

When you run your V-Terrian.exe , make sure that the Target Folder is where you put the V Terrian files. This should be your Mercenaries resource/maps folder. Check the V-Terrian files ( you downloaded) to make sure their in the right place , V-Terrian files should be your Mercenaries resource/maps folder. If they are , then V-Terrian.exe should run fine. Good Luck, hope it works out : )

Yesterday I copied all the files I listed earlier into my mercs map folder. I am at school currently so I am not sure where exactly.

The BK maps were in my list of maps when I'd host a game, but when I tried to actually play a message came up saying "please insert mercenaries CD2 into the drive." I did so and the message just kept coming up.
So I uninstalled then reinstaled the BK map pak. Didn't work.
The Vengeance maps still don't friggen work.

ok.. first. there is a file for download from mektek called terrain installer. u will need to download it and run it. this will move all the terrain files from bk and ven. over to mercs so the converted maps can work. also, after u run the terrain installer u need to find md5chk-bk.bat and a file called update.bat they are in the mercs resources folder. if that doesnt work and u still get the insert cd message, u should be able to copy the terrain files directly from the ven and bk disks

I did copy the files directly to mercs fron BK and Ven. I have already run the md5ck-bk.bat.
