Marines better get the glue off your shift key

Seriously, stop typing in caps, I find it kinda impolite to 'shout' at people.

Yes, please stop shouting...

Loading the map should take about 10-20 seconds.
Compiling a map may take 24 hours if its complex.
You can load a map by writing:

Code: Select all

map mymapname

Example:

Code: Select all

map obj/my_first_test_map

when i look at my map in the main maps folder under in says
mymapnam.bak is it suposed to be a bsp should it say mymapname.bsp

Post by **jv_map** » Fri Jan 02, 2004 5:52 pm

No, .bak is simply a back-up of your .map. There should be a .bsp though, otherwise the compile failed

Your map name has to to be one word. Like this:

my_map.bsp

Place that file in MOHAA/main/maps/dm (create a dm folder if you don't have one) and it should show up on the list of "team match" games.

in the mbiulder were you pick your map you want to build should it say
mymapname.map ?

and when i save my map in mohradiant do i have to save it as
mymapname.bsp

tltrude · Post by **tltrude** » Fri Jan 02, 2004 9:09 pm

Yes, you save your map as my_mapname.map or whatever name you want (all_one_word). When you compile it, it will be saved as my_mapname.bsp. And, that is what you put in the maps/dm folder.

Singleplayer bsp files would just go in the "maps" folder, but they should be named "test_mymapname.bsp"--so the sounds will work.

The reason your map does not work is probably because you didn't compile it, or you are missing an info_player_start and a light. It is also good to put in an info_player_allied, and an info_player_axis. Everything has to be inside a room or a skybox.
