    Default Can't play custom multiplayer maps

    When I try to open up a map I added myself in multiplayer, it won't work and the hand will wave at me. When I play the map in the original DK through multiplayer it works fine. It also works perfectly (sans AI) if I play it through the Deeper Dungeons level list.

    Did you create a .lof file?

    Yes, I created .lof files. The problem's still there.

    Also, one .lof file doesn't seem to work:

    (map00205.lof)
    Code:
    ; KeeperFX Level Overview File (LOF)
    KIND = MULTI
    NAME_TEXT = Mothrayas Multiplayer Map 5
    ENSIGN_POS = 400 200
    ENSIGN_ZOOM = 400 200
    PLAYERS = 4
    OPTIONS =
    I don't see anything wrong with it, yet the level doesn't appear.

    Yes, four others which have the hand waving issue. And the standard pack of levels that comes with KeeperFX which do work correctly.

    Try renaming all the maps as 21 or something similar.

    I have the same problem.

    I am trying to name my maps for the newer skirmish campaign at level 151 but it isn't appearing. I tried 210 too and that's not working. 21-40 seem to be fine.

    The log says nothing out of the ordinary, no errors. I even tried the debug version and it doesn't seem to detect much... how odd...

    Strangely, 201-204 do work. 205 doesn't.

    Well I was referring to 00021 not 00201 but if it works it works...

    Still is rather odd... specific numbers don't work?

    What about 00206-00210? Somehow I feel only 206-209 will work though.

    Just renamed them all to 21-25, and they do work now. Problem solved, although this may still need to be fixed.

    I have a question. I have made multiplayer levels map00040 - map00049 and I want them to be shown in Dungeon Keeper FX. But there is no levels.txt Editing keeporig.cfg does not work eather.
    And how do I give the flags names (like the "ring of fire", "four wizards" and so on)...
