[SOLVED!] Server is unable to recognize certain maps that I downloaded

[P4Spartan]

The fix to this may be obvious, but let me explain my situation: I have been hosting a server with NFOServers, whom offer webhosting for hosting custom maps to be downloaded and such upon joining, as you would expect. However, I recently downloaded a batch of maps that, whenever I attempt to switch to any of them, the server does not recognize the map despite it being both in the files for the server and the files for the site. Despite this, they were all a batch of .bsp.bz2 files that I renamed to remove the .bz2 extension, and I was wondering if that was possibly what is causing these to fail to launch. I am sure that is it, but they would not launch with the .bz2 extension otherwise.

Apologies if this is complicated, but it has been ages since I have encountered this issue.

Also, I acknowledge that I did not mark this as a question, and I apologize.

Hi,
I'm no expert on server hosting, but to get a bsp from a .bz2 file, it's not as simple as removing the .bz2 extension.
What it is as simple as is opening the file in some kind of ZIP unpacking software like WinRAR, and extracting the .bsp file from there.

The strange thing is that I could have sworn servers still work with .bz2 files, since all it is is a compression format that should make it quicker for users to download the map file.

That seems to have fixed it, thank you! I knew it was that obvious, heh.
