map files

I am running dedicated on mac os x and am testing it. When I do, it says the map file is trying to corrupt system files or something. I did attempt to use a map file that is NOT the default. I REALLY need help

Post the full error message and your configuration, please. (The line with MAP_FILE in it should be enough)

Log:
ERROR: Absolute file name, the server is trying to overwrite system files.

PS I noticed it said /Applications/Armagetron \
and thats it. No Advanced \Dedicated or map file

Your MAP_FILE line?

It probably reads something like
MAP_FILE /Applications/Armagetron\ Advanced/resources/included/<bla>

Change it to
MAP_FILE <bla>

Map filenames must be given relative to the resource root folder.

actually, I just typed map_file in terminal then dragged the file there

PS I noticed it said ";clients older than 0.2.8_beta3 will not be allowed in"

I still get the error when i do it from the resource.
I downloaded the non default files from resource.armagetronad.net

That's normal, because earlier clients don't have map support.

You need to store the maps you download INSIDE the Armagetron resource directory for them to work. Please paste your exact input and error messages here. Can't say that often enough. Especially since you're on a Mac, apparently, and my main experience here is with the Linux version which has massively different paths.

They are in the resource directory, I made a MapFile folder inside the resource.

It also says

[0] ERROR: User given path "/config/examples/deathzone.cfg" is an absolute path. You're not allowed to access files outside of the configured file hierarchies.

Get rid of the "/config/", with both slashes.

[0] ERROR: User given path "/examples/deathzone.cfg" is an absolute path. You're not allowed to access files outside of the configured file hierarchies.

I also tried it without the first slash

[0] Configuration file "examples/deathzone.cfg" to be included not found.

The map file only works when I use a built-in file, not the ones I downloaded.

Look, we really need more details. Your exact configuration and the exact errors server AND client are giving.

The server just takes it until someone logs on to the server, then it just says the same thing.
