One question...

Post by _54th_Yoshi »

How do i create a .src file? My maps won't load without them and compilers don't create them.

do u mean a .scr file? You can make these with notepad, but rename it from "mapname.txt" to "mapname.scr". this is a map-specific file that can be used to set certain attributes of your map, such as weather or objectives.

You need to add an infoplayerstart entity. Take a look at my first room tutorial

Oh, i added allied and axis start points, i see what i did wrong. How do i set up the infoplayerstart so that it spawns axis only or allied only? And what is the deathmatch spawn point for if it doesn't work?

allied and axis are for team play, although i think they will spawn both, deathmatch is for deathmatch, it spawns both, start is for single player, and intermission is for the view at the end of match. I'm pretty sure about all this...

Hey, u gotta start somewhere, right? Making little test rooms like this should be common practice to learn about all the different things that are possible with the editor...
