That is the only solution that comes to mind.
Could you download the MAC version off of www.gamingprojects.com and try that?
Let me know.

Even if you download the wrong version, you WILL be able to play the new maps on your own server, but would not be able to play them online.That is the only solution that comes to mind.

For those who have problems with the new levels and have installed maps other than the v2 and v3 mappacks, remove the .mis files from those extra levels from the ../fps/data/missions directory. (I keep a directory in the highest Orbz directory called level_storage.) See if that resolves the issue.
Note also that v3 replaces many v2 maps that had minor edits.

Along with some other issues I haven't got a handle on, some people seem to be having the issue of conflicting maps/sortindex.For those who have problems with the new levels and have installed maps other than the v2 and v3 mappacks, remove the .mis files from those extra levels from the ../fps/data/missions directory.

Yes. Alot of extra maps are floating around out there that arent in the Course Pack. SortIndex problem keeps rearing its ugly head.

if you have the maps from blackrichard's site, I believe, yes then delete the .mis files.
I just went to his site, found out which files I had installed and deleted them from the orbz directory. Problem solved.

I had that problem too, with the other "unofficial" maps when I d/led v3. if you have the maps from blackrichard's site, I believe, yes then delete the .mis files.

I've put a warning on my site. I've also added a general description of how the sortIndex works as well as the previous instructions for setting the sortIndex. (Any comments regarding clarity of description or instructions appreciated.)sortIndex description:
