Mapping Problem

Star85 · **Mapping Problem -** 10-22-2002, 06:16 AM

Everytime I make a map I go to test it and it brings me back to he menu after loading, without going into the map at all.

I hope someone here knows whats going on.

Do you have a script? A start point and a dm start point? Is it single or multi?

Better question would be:

After you bounced back, click the ~ for the console, and what's the last 'error' or the last 20 lines....

well doesnt matter if the map has a script.
depends on how you are loading the map.
if the maps .bsp file is in your main/maps folder then you can open it from console.
make sure you have added a player spawn point.
info-player-start is generally what I place when still editing the map.
team spawn locations are not important till your ready to set those up.

Yep, its most likely the info -> Player -> Start you need, a map will load without a .scr file. Buy you need a player start, not a spawn point, it wont work that'a way.

ITs a TDM I made for just me and my friends and I have the spawn point. I zipped it into a pk3 file also.

ok.
well if you have the player start point.
and you have compiled the map to a .bsp

the bsp file is in your main/maps folder
then you can enter the map from the console
type:
map yourmapsname

to select the map from ingame list.
the map needs to have the .scr, ui, shader files all set up
dosent matter if its a PK3 or not.. you just need to get the map working
