This Map Is Not Compatable - where do I put the .lua file?
Hello, my custom map almost runs in single player but I'm not sure where the proper directory is to place this .lua file is! Into lua/autorun? /luaautorun/client and lua/autorun/server directories?

I copied the mapname.lua file around in 4 different places but the server I rented still shows the "Map is not compatable with this gamemode" on the top of the screen, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you followed the mapping tutorial? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=147037972

You'll want to place it inside of garrysmod/lua/autorun/mapname.lua.
Thank you very much Sam for helping with this situation, MANY Kek's To You Sir.

If you had read our past chats, I have fully set everything up in the server panel for you. However, I cannot seem to fix the Shark model from not being an error but (it's downloaded) from workshop and.. it's referenced but, When I look down the reflection is there. THus, when changing in SP, and coming back you're not an error just "invisible to yourself".
Lol well last night when I went to the map it wasn't working ;_; and i thought it was proper to thank Sam anyway, but yes Nickk you have done a lot and I am very greatful :3

also props for trying to get the shark model to work for 4 hours, do other forced player models work?

I know :) And Thank's Sam for the "cinema GM" it's awesome. but can drop frames quite a lot. amd thank you, and I'm not entirely sure. I haven't tried. I have made fixes to various "lua's" that were crashing or "erroring out "on spawn.

MY JOB
As I've been a server administrator or many would call me a server manager for them, It's my job to keep a server from crashing entirely, and to ensure of that issue these are the "extra" steps, i might add that you can take, which I'm cautious for.

-> You must ensure what YOU install will not cause conflictions, or for this matter alone, have script errors being ran on other scripts.

-> Any scripts, weapons, models, etc, that are installed must have fixed scripts as they may either cause issues with conflicting with a method or being a "nil" value, which spams the server (rcon'd) console and can crash the server as it runs the server down in "RAM". (If not strong enough) However, the keypointer is, that you go and extract if you know how to, and fix these errors and re-up them back to a (".gma") (GarrysModAddon) file from the workshop to (compress) the document into a smaller file which can be downloaded twice as quick then a "raw" ."BSP" (map) file. but you get my point here.

-> I manage users, and have learned more lua, to ensure if something goes wrong, I can come in and enforce the server('s) provided, I know/tell what exactly the issue is.

-> Priorities are to be kept, to ensure all policies are enforced, and anyone stating otherwise, are then banned from connecting to a server.

-> I'm an admin, and I see I'm the only one that has been managing, and if not on the server these past few days... It's boring being alone. haha.

And that's job's extra steps that "I" as a server manager/ provider takes, to ensure it runs efficently and no frames are dropped in the process.

Enjoy, And a few other commands were added to "enforce" admins.
- Sincerely,
- Nickk

Hey, I'm making my first map and I am having a similar problem. I followed the tutorial, triple-checked the names on everything are correct, but when I place the lua file in the garrysmod/lua/autorun folder, it doesn't seem to do anything, I still get the not-compatible error. I want to be able to upload this map into the workshop so I used the version of the code that the tuorial said you need to for this. I would try putting it into the cinema/gamemode/maps folder just to see if I could get it to work at all but that folder does not exist for me. I only have one location, it is a pretty simple map. Any help would be appreciated :)
