hi@all,
i downloaded a map and change some things, now i saved it as .pk3 with
(pk3 manage editor) and put it in my main folder like all the other custom maps. But i cant load this map ingame...
if i extrackt the .pk3 file and put the .bsp,.scr,.urc... in my /main/maps/obj
folder,so i can load the map ingame.
Now my question: how can i fix this problem?
i want that i can load the map ingame, with only the .pk3 in my main folder
what i have to do?



thy and sorry for this bad english

You downloaded a map and changed some things....... what things ?

Did you make any errors when changing script ?

Did it work before you made changes ?

Did you repack it right ?

i changed the light, explosion radius from the bomb, the axis and allie mission message, no fog.

no errors

it work before my changes

i repackt it right(i hope)

and the map is working with the changes but not as .pk3 in my main folder, i have to unpack the pk3 and put all files in the main/maps/obj

but why?
the map without the changes work as .pk3 in the main folder

open up pakscape

go file/new

click on green thing

goto yellow folder ( up top ) and click on it

when box pops up, type maps

click on ( + ) sign next to green thing

cick on the new directory ( maps ) you just made

go up to that little yellow folder again.... click on it

next box that pops up, name it either dm or obj depending on the map

go over to the ( + ) sign next to the maps directory, click to open it

click on either the dm or obj folder to highlight it

go uptp "object" import file look for the work you did highlight it and hit okay or enter or what ever

when its "imported" into pakscape, goto file save as and call it zzzzzz_decoj_mapmod.pk3

go to where you saved it and drag it into your main folder.... should work

pk3

A pk3 is a compressed version of the main folder, so the names of the folders in it have to be the same as those in main.

Create a folder named "maps" on your desktop. Next create a folder named "obj" inside the maps folder. Then place the .bsp and .scr inside the obj folder and close everything. Now use Winzip to create a file named "maps.zip" using the maps folder on your desktop. Now you can rename that file to "myname.pk3" and move it to mohaa/main.

Hope that helps.
