When you press the ESC-key you leave the server immediately. And people most likely tell you to press ESC because you ask stupid questions that are answered in the FAQ.

Q: I'm hosting a server, how do I play custom-maps?
49
First, you have to download the map you want to host and put it in your Ace of Spades/vxl folder! If you have done this, simply start the server.exe and instead of writing "gen" write the name of the map without the .vxl. For example "Scandinavia" or "Normandie".

 1.2 The Map
72
73
- The big "+" in your teams colors:  
74
The team-tent. You can fill up your health/blocks/ammo in this place. Also if you have the intel on you, you have to bring it to the thent to make it count.
75
76
- The blue/green square:
77
This is where the intels are. Depending on your team, the other color is the enemy-intel and your own the intel of your team. But beware: People sometimes build fake-squares that look like intels on the map, to confuse the enemy. 
78
79
- The blue circle:
80
That's you.
81
82
- The white circles:
83
Your team-mates.

2. Server Hosting
87
88
1. Follow these steps: http://i.imgur.com/r75M3Pl.png
89
90
Don't forget to always check UDP! A lot of people miss this in the windows-firewall (and other firewalls you have installed)
91
92
2. Creating the Server-Adress
93
94
Before we start this, you should know that you - the host - have to connect from a different server-address than the other people. For example, the address on the thread is aos://34353454, but the host has to connect from aos://234523534. That's why we are going to create two of them, the user-address and the host-address.
95
96
USER-ADDRESS:
97
98
Now, go to http://www.romanito.com/aceofspades/ipconverter/ and press the "Your IP" button. The aos://... adress on the bottom is the address of your server. Give the people this one to let them connect.
99
100
If you want to play on your own server (you probably want to) we have to create the host-address now.
101
102
HOST-ADDRESS:
103
104
Take your IPv4-address (see step 1.) and go to http://www.romanito.com/aceofspades/ipconverter/ again, now don't press the button but enter the IPv4 address. The aos://... you get now is the one you connect with, it is useless for everyone else.
105
106
This was everything, if it still doesn't work you probably did something wrong in the process. Try again or give up and ask us in the thread!
