Checksum Mismatch while trying to load...

Checksum Mismatch while trying to load [color=red]Name hidden upon request.[/color]. Make sure you have the copy of the file the host has. Got unkown net command (38)=76 (Max 0)

In other words, I get kicked when trying to load this, or a few other wads during a netgame. Then it gives me this error in the console, what does it mean?

 

[Crüsäder]

Shouldn't the color value in a wad be a number, not a text value?

 

[Chromatian]

A user wanted me to remove the name, so just consider all of that the wad name.

 

[Crüsäder]

Oh, jeez, that's BBCode. I thought it was in a WAD.

 

[K.S.]

Your version of the .WAD is different from the host's version, thus, the game bails out. Nothing special.

 

[Chromatian]

I'm the only person in my server, and it still kicks me.

 

[K.S.]

Is the WAD in a subdirectory, by any chance? I've seen that rarely cause a problem or two.

 

[Chromatian]

No, its actually in the same folder as Srb2.

Once, when I was about to submit a map for a contest, I had opened a server just to do a final test.

I added the wad => Crash! I almost panicked.

I got to fix it after I checked the level header, I don't remember what, but I had mistyped something or added something not supported.

A question: I'm thinking of adding "Author" in file properties, you know: Right click on a file > Properties > Summary > Author. Can this cause conflict between who has got an older version of my wad and the version with edited properties upon joining my servers?
