Having A Map Outdated Issue

When loading the map into the server via dropbox it goes to load in then says mismatch as well as the map is outdated? 

Hi , dropbox made changes and it effects the way you load maps . I suggest using discord to host the map instead . 

Make sure you have rust edit installed as well . 



 

```some changes to DropBox that will affect the Community as Rust is unable to currently handle the changes they are implementing:
This is what I have found out about the changes to DropBox links:

Why the new "/scl" link format?

 
Dropbox is moving to a new link architecture which centralizes links on content rather than users.  We'll refer to these "/scl" links as "new links" and the previous "/s" architecture as "legacy links".  Part of the new link architecture is the addition of an rlkey parameter.  It is this parameter which grants access to the content.  That is why removing that parameter results in visitors having to sign in and request access.  I talk more about this transition in the new forum thread here.

Direct Download on new link architecture is Solved
 
Regarding this thread on “direct / forced” download not working on new links, this should be solved since a fix was implemented 2 weeks ago.  That is, all new links should now function the same as legacy links for these purposes.  This can be accomplished in two ways.

    modifying the dl parameter in the URL
    modifying using dl.dropbox.com or dl.dropboxusercontent.com.

 

:backhand_index_pointing_right: In both cases you must retain the rlkey parameter for the URL to grant your recipients permission rights to access your file.
 
What is the DL parameter?

 

Anything following the ? in a URL are query parameters.  It’s worth reemphasizing that dl parameter in new links did not break and will continue to function identically to those in legacy links.  Manually changing the dl parameter does the following:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?rlkey=<token>&dl=0

    Default link. This will render the content in the Dropbox file viewer.

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?rlkey=<token>&dl=1

    Downloads the content of the link (if the user has access to the content based on link settings). This query parameter takes precedence even if raw=1 is also added.

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?rlkey=<token>&raw=1

    Directly renders the content in the browser (if the link has a public audience and no other restrictions). Note that this link has an HTTP 302 redirect, so the application or browser must be able to follow the redirect.

What are the dl.dropbox... modifications?
 
These are link transformations from the early days of Dropbox.  While we don't "officially" list these anymore in our Help Center, we are continuing to support them for now.
 
https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?rlkey=<token>&dl=0

    Replacing www with dl works exactly like a ?raw=1 link: this will directly render content for public links in the browser. It requires following an HTTP 302 redirect.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?rlkey=<token>&dl=0

    Works like a ?raw=1 link, but the application or browser will not need to follow an HTTP 302 redirect to access the content.```
