You shouldn't release the same map under different names.  Instead, release betas, fix the issues, and release the final version.  Also, keep your map name all lowercase, as Linux has issues with case sensitivity.  Follow this guide here:

looks like you used back2back for the map design and look... personally i hate that map, so i will actually download this to take a look at it

*yikes, that map is so unorganized, and that high tunnel needs some sort of lighting

well it should be there as a completely new file in the same folder.

one other thing about your map, if you didnt catch my edit, the high tunnel needs lighting, and your ladders are ungodly huge, i think they would be over 8 feet wide according to jitspoes conversions

It should be there if you're using XP.  If not, you need to grab something like winzip.

Anyway, some general feedback on the map:
- It needs more than one path.  The high path isn't really that accessible, and is very limited and needs lighting.
- There's a lot of really unrealistic stuff that kills the atmosphere, like massive ladders.  One is even made of sand.
- Textures need to be rotated in many different locations.  Some things could stand to have a texture other than the wood planks, too.
- Red flag stand uses tiles, blue uses wood (minor detail).

I can run through it with a demo and be more specific later, if you want.  This should really be boxed_b2.bsp or boxed_beta2.bsp.  If you want to follow the guide and work on turning this into a good map, I'll upload it to the beta server for play testing.

Edit: My net connection died and there were like 10 replies since I tried to post this.

I renamed the map to boxed_b2.bsp and uploaded it to the beta server.  I'm sending you a PM with the details.  Note that you need to put the map in your pball/maps/beta directory:

Is it just me, or did you mess up your spawn points? I spawned, it seemed, randomly no matter what team I was on.

I think the spawn angles also need to be fixed.  I'm pretty sure I spawned facing the wall.

Nope. I checked and all the spawns had a teamnumber of 2.
