It can't be that difficult, can it?

there is a dod_lennon2_b1 folder in your .rar file.

- Open RAR FIle (with WinRAR e.g.)
- Doubleclick the dod_lennon2_b1 folder.
- Now you should see a ServerConfigs, a maps, an overview, a models folder and a wad file.
- Select all [ STRG+A ] and just use drag and drop the selected stuff to your main dod folder. [ SteamApps/YOURACC/day of defeat/dod ]
-finished. HF GL with playing lennon2_b1

p.s. if you are a real computer nerd, you might be able to exclude the Server Configs from your selection and put it into your dod main folder or upload to your gameserver.

1) download the files from the TPG website
2) EXTRACT THE FILES. it is a .rar not a .zip, use winrar.
3) copy and drag the files in the appropriate folder. (dod_lennon4.wad goes in the dod folder)

If so, then its just steam being dumb because today steam is being dumb.
Steam must be having a meltdown. I have followed these steps and still get a File read error.

AND, I was able to post on these wonderful forums!

If you can't install a map properly then why would you know where to post on these wonderful forums. I think he must make a donation for making a forums admin do work!

"area_hud_sprite" "sprites/caparea.spr"

...actually, this should be:

"area_hud_sprite" "sprites/mapsprites/caparea.spr"

...in order to load the default "caparea.spr" contained in the "Day of Defeat.GCF" file

that is how the game works. I am assuming you extracted files to the wrong folder. It is not a map problem it is on your side of the extraction.

the map is the same as lennon, but retextured, and the spawns have been remade.

So I googled "caparea.spr" and put it in the sprites folder through FTP.

Here is the link I used and the map works on the server now. Good luck!

Thanks Defiance for your help works now

It's most likely due to the fact steam broke DoD today. I wouldn't stress about it
