Have you editied the mapinfo file to allow for the gametype you have active in the menu? When there are no guns in the map at the time the initial mapinfo is autogenerated its only playable in minsta.. and lms iirc

Ah, so you had no items placed.

Add the line

has weapons

to make the map appear outside MinstaGib. Also, you forgot to set timelimit and fraglimit in the "type dm" line.

type dm 30 20

Do it like this.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Are you sure you edited the file, added the right one to the pk3 file AND delete the old one from disk? IIRC the autogenerated file goes to nexuiz/data/data/maps/NAME.mapinfo .. Files on disc take precedence over files from pk3s. Also there is a kind of load path (certain files from certain dirs and pk3 make up the virtual file system in nexuiz.. maybe it uses an other file then you think it does)
