put it in a .pk3 file.

get pakscape. open and run. create the following directories...

maps/dm <---put yourmap.bsp & .scr in here

save as yourmap.pk3, place in main, run mohaa.

the above is assuming your .scr file has no errors. might want to post your .scr file with code tags in this thread.

So, should I name my script as mymapname.pk3? or mymapname.scr and put it in my maps directory or in main?

Thx a lot

and please reply

Hi

You just need to name your script as your .bsp is.

Eg, if your map is dm_rathunt.bsp then your script must be named dm_rathunt.scr.

It must be in the same folder as the bsp.

Eg, if your map is a dm map, it would be

maps/dm/dm_rathunt.scr

if it was an obj map, it would be

maps/obj/dm_rathunt.scr

If it was a single player map it would be:

maps/dm_rathunt.scr

Here is an example basic map script you can use. Paste this into wordpad or notepad and save it as as I instucted above.

Code: Select all

// Rat Hunt
// ARCHITECTURE: snajperu
// SCRIPTING: snajperu

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
main:
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

		setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "- Find and destroy" 
		setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" "the nest of evil"
		setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" "Man-Eating Rats"

		setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "- Defend the evil rats,"
		setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" "and possibly get eaten by them"
		setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" "By snajperu"

	setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "dmrathunt"	//need to make a shader for this, or you can use a texture path, eg "textures/rathunt/rathuntscoreboard.tga"

	///////////////////////
	level waittill prespawn
	///////////////////////

	//*** Precache Dm Stuff
	exec global/DMprecache.scr

	level.script = maps/dm/dm_rathunt.scr
	exec global/ambient.scr obj_team1	//you can change the ambiant sounds here...

	////////////////////
	level waittill spawn
	////////////////////
	
	$world farclipoverride -1	//change depending on your map
//also setup fog here
end

Hello Hal, you write too much

What Hal posted seems fine, but i will not use the

$world farclipoverride -1

just in case you are doing this for AA, since that a variable for SH and BT.

Hehe hi Kruger

I can't help it. :S If I don't try to help people I might get withdrawal symptoms.

Thanks for pointing that out.

here is the very generic script i use, no frills but gets the job done.
you may just want to compare this one and @(...:.:...)@'s to fit what you need in yours.

// yourmapname
// ARCHITECTURE: you
// SCRIPTING: you

main:

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "your loading image name (delete the word 'loading'*) " // your score board picture

level waittill prespawn

exec global/DMprecache.scr

exec global/ambient.scr yourmapname(no extention)
// may want to make your own ambient sounds, read the tut

level.script = "maps/dm/yourmapname.scr"
// remember to put in your map name

level waittill spawn

//add more codes here after you add more features to your maps

end

* meaning if your load screen image is named "loading_marlborocigarettes.tga" only use the text 'marlborocigarettes' for the script portion.

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "your loading image name (delete the word 'loading'*) " // your score board picture ..............................................if you do not have a picture, put "none" between the "........
I usually copy one of the original scripts and change the name to reflect my project. Instead of mohdm1.scr, I would "save as", ( my mapname ), .scr ----- and save it in the folder my map is in......no pk3 file needed until you wrap up everything.
