Error: file is not a map (must be .w3x or .w3m).

Postby Freddd » Wed Aug 15, 2018 3:10 pm

Hi,

Trying to upload a map, that i've been working on for a while, here due to wanting the observer feature. Gets the following error when attempting to upload it here; Error: file is not a map (must be .w3x or .w3m).. The map itself runs fine when hosting through makemehost etc so the the map itself isn't broken. It is a .w3x file so I'm not really sure why this error occurs. Every other time it just gives me another more general; "Error: failed to upload map.", so the error message itself isn't consistent. Other maps I've created have worked and still works to upload so it's specifically this map that is having issues.

Anyone encountered this or got any tips on how to solve it? Attached the map incase that would help.

Appreciate any help and- or possible thoughts!

The name might be the issue. Try removing the symbols, ( ' and # ), then upload and share the results, please.

Thanks for taking the time. Retried with the following name;

"Fredds PVP Map 4 V13" still with (.w3x) as extension removing everything that isn't letters

Now instead i get the following message when attempting;

Error: internal error.

Tried in both Chrome and Edge browser.

Tried through Safari through the mac instead of the pc and problem still persists. I do also now get similar errors regardless of which map i try to upload.

Due to age, processing.

Please let us know if this is still an issue by posting another topic if needed.
