Quote from: Benny;286663It's normally maps that do that, reinstall the map and it should work I think...

Which map? I have no idea which map was on. :g:

I'm pretty sure it's the map.

Join the versus server to double check as that's all vanilla. Then make sure your client is up to date and then reinstall the latest DeathAboard vpk map.

I had the string table issue, turned out to be a version mismatch.

Was solved by deleteing all trace of deathaboard, then installing the new version.

If you can see the maps for DeathAboard in your maps directory,then you have the wrong version for sure.

Latest release is a .vpk campaign file.

You'll need to clear out all the old stuff first.

Details here.

Which I notice GhostMjr blatantly copied into his own thread word for word without crediting me, my lawyers will be in touch.

Thanks for that. :thumbsup2: I didn't have a lot of those files, presumably because I'd never played the map.

EDIT: I notice I have an 'addons' folder and an 'add_ons' folder. I've put it in 'addons', can I ditch the other one?

Another EDIT: Huzzah! or Hooray if you're ordinary. it works!
