You're probably missing a model, sprite or wad file. Look for a dod_dust_revolution.res file in your maps folder and make sure you have all the files required.

Run resgen over the map file. Somewhere in that tool pack was a program that stripped the entity list so you could view entities like spawn points and properties of those entities like the direction you face when spawning and write them back to the map file without the client needing to download the map again. If you look at the plain text of entities long enuff you will learn how they are stored and easily spot the problem. It is possible that the person who converted the map left bad entity data in there maybe missing a bracket or an extra space or invalid character but that mod was ignoring it but dod wont or they was stripping it out or replacing the entire entity list with a separate file in stripper2 so others couldn't use the map on there server. Like Dopeys zombie server did with thier maps that added things like beams etc.nnI cant remember the program but maybe it was Crafty.nnhttp://www.snarkpit.net/index.php?s=forums&f=3&t=1764nnhttp://www.gamefront.com/files/13457975
