Ok.After some time I download a map from Wild west CTF.Uaha that name was so long then i name it - simply - CTF

I put it in resource folder (Data application)
And Type
MAp_File CTF

It says it doesnt have it in cache then it download it.
Of course-no
resource.armagetronad.net/resource/CTF.xml map doesnt exist.

How can i play it?

(Anyway:Hello all!)

The short version is, you can't rename maps without editing them. To play a map, theoretically, all you need is to copy the server's MAP_FILE setting (it gets displayed on the client's console).

But since your map in question is a CTF map, it won't work with the regular client. You need a client with an appropriate patch, you can download the complete source code here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~armagetrona ... tronad-sty
Beware though, you need to compile this yourself, some basic development tools skills beyond downloading are required. Check the wiki for info about that.

An additional problem with CTF maps is that they often give the client a special version of the map without the zone definitions; if that is the case for your map, you'll need to contact the server admin to get the server version.

Acutally, this brings up a good question from me. Where is the download link on that page? I tried copying and pasteing the download URL too, but there was no link on that page either.

And yes, i do know how to compile.

There's no clicky-clicky download link there; you have to enter the "bzr branch ..." line given on top of the page into the console.

IF i understadn-

That RED text after you connect server-I read that---(Page up) adn-

resource folder changed to resource.armagetronad.net/resource

map_file was changed to (Some adress for example:) Test/test/Name-0.0.1.aamap.xml

Then type
resource.armagetronad.net/resource/Test/test/Name-0.0.1.aamap.xml

OR i do it this way...Maybe there are easy ways (Download it from server homepage) but sometimes...There arent all maps.

The answer to your question is simple. You must have an account on the resource website, and then upload your map, otherwise, though I don't know how, you must change the resource_server or something along those lines.

Loors question was about the bzr branch, I guess

With console I mean the thing where you enter system commands. It's also called Terminal sometimes, or on Windows dos box/command.
