how to use downloaded maps?

I downloaded a couple maps from here and cant figure out how to use them. They wont show up in the admin map manager and they dont show up in the map editor (not that i want to edit them I just wanted to see if they could be loaded there). I changed the meta file of each map to include gamemodes="mygamemode" and removed any spaces in the map names etc. But it looks like the server does not know they are there. What am I doing wrong?

You must add map to: MTA: San Andreas> Server> Mods> deathmach> resources>

In map file MUST be:

-correct meta.xml of map name

-correct .map file of map name

I will give you an example:

-meta.xml

    type="map" name="CORRECT NAME OF MAP" author="AUTHOR NAME (NOT NEEDED)" version="1.0.0">
    "MAP NAME OF YOUR MAP IN SAME FOLDER.map" dimension="0">
    
        "#minplayers" value="[ 0 ]">
        "#maxplayers" value="[ 128 ]">
        "#gravity" value="[ 0.008000 ]">
        "#weather" value="[ 0 ]">
        "#time" value="12:0">
        "#locked_time" value="[ false ]">
        "#waveheight" value="[ 0 ]">
        "#gamespeed" value="[ 1 ]">
    

-MAPNAME.map

"editor_main"> 
    "object (gnhtelgrnd_lvs) (1)" doublesided="true" model="8661" interior="0" dimension="0"  

If is folder called PRISON MAP, you must change it in meta to correct one if actual one isn't right:

So change it in this:

    type="map" name="PRISON MAP"  version="1.0.0">
    "PRISON MAP.map" dimension="0">

About definitions in map, do it like:

"editor_main"> 

It'll work always.

ok, when you download the map, move it to your "server\mods\deathmatch\resources" folder,

after you are finish the map should be loaded automatically, but if the server is already started then you would need to type in "upgrade" in the console.

if the map folder name has any spaces, please change it to: "-"or"_" (if you want).

if nothing here works, please post the map meta.xml
