i don't know that cmd, how to use it ? Is that the full cmd or i have to put something in it to make it work.

No etconfig it ET stranded configuration. So all your settings will be set back to default.. You even need to change your name..
But I think that wouldn't help.there is probably some pk3 file interfering/clashing somehow with the main files what causes the problem...
I personally think best way to fix it is to reinstall ET in an other folder. See if it works. After that you'll put back the files you want like your CFG and map pk3's and of course your etkey. Do this for all your MODs (etpub etpro, NoQuater and jaymod)
Only put the files back that you know of.
Then you should be good to go.. and you can delete you old install.

Make sure to check the sub folders as well in particular your player folder (C://program files/Wolfenstein enemy territory/jaymod/profiles/[YOURNAME]
make sure that arent any funny folders and pk3 files in the old install that aren't in your new install..


Hope this helps

Does this problem only occur when you are playing with mortar? Could you please write /+mapexpand in console while on the server? Does that pop up the map or does it return an 'unknown command' error?
If the map does pop up then it's fixed by: /bind g +mapexpand.

I have a hard time imagining regular pk3 files changing the commands such that +mapexpand is not recognized anymore. I have seen someone else with this problem before however and that does suggest that some files were changed.

In that case you are probably better of with djuki's explanation to reinstall ET.

it aint that bad. It less work as figuring out what the exact problem is. simplyfied. start on a clean install and ad the files that are known to you
