.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Your map may have a flaw that causes the compilers to fail. Copy your sky box and spawn points to a new map and compile it. If that one also does not compile, its your settings that are wrong and not the .map file.

You can edit the script right in the game. But, you do need to type in the console to bring up the in-game editor. Sorry, I forget what has to be typed in. (editscript?)

You don't have to keep the editor files in main/maps/dm. Create a new folder (ex: main/maps/peter_g) and put your .map and compiler files there. Then all you have to do is move/copy the .bsp file to the dm or obj folder for testing.

You don't have to use a door as your flag. You can make it a script_object and move it up and down with a trigger_use and the script.

flag_mover:

$flag_trigger waittill trigger // wait for someone to use the trigger
$flag moveup 100 // how far up to move in units
$flag waitmove // starts it moving ...

Just use the player that is holding the flag.

26. Commander & Chief: Hires contractors from Pennsylvania to quickly turn it into a Philly Cheese Snake Sandwich.

The simple way would be to just put in a wait that is as long as the sound plays -- trial and error.

Couldn't you just spawn some solid boxes in front of the doors?

My guess would be that you're trying to run an objective game on a deathmatch only server.

The entity numbers change everytime you add or remove one. The last one you added will become Entity 1, and all the others will be renumbered by the editor when you save.

The ".map" file can be opened with a text editor like Notepad. In the text you can see all the entity numbers towards the bottom ...

Hit the "n" key. Brings up the entity inspector. In the "key' box type alwaysaway. In the value box type 1... Deselect everything. The door should work fine... There will be times to create angles but don't worry about that now.

Alwaysaway 1 is default for rotating doors and does not need to be ...

Nigel is talking about a "vis" leak where the skybox is not sealing the world from the outside (void). If that's the case, the editor will create a ".lin" file (red Line) which can be viewed by clicking on File > Pointfile in the editor.

However, light leaks are not always caused by leaky skyboxes ...

Dispite PKM's spam posts, we do help, now and then. Just post your questions, one at a time.

The Min file is made by the game itself. If your map crashed, it wouldn't of made a Min file. But, that's not your problem. Most likely there was an error during the compile and only a shell of the bsp was made. Add pauses after each step of the compile and watch for errors.

Make a copy of your script as a backup, then remove all the stuff for the second elevator and try to get the first one working again.

You can make a log file for the console by typing logfile 1 in it just before you startup the map. Afterwards, you'll find qconsole.log in main. It can be opened ...
