Map doesnt show for others...

Post by HomerTheDragoon »

Alright so I made a test map, since im very new to this. Anyways after i saved it i compiled it. Put the files together (zip and pk3 below) and put it in my main folder. I go to host map and it shows. However if someone else tries to host it... it wont show for them.

zip-http://ggleague.net/firstlevel.zip
pk3-http://ggleague.net/firstlevel.pk3

Please tell me what im doing wrong. Thanks.

Pk3

Post by tltrude »

A Pk3 is like a mini version of the main folder. It needs to have folders, like "maps" and "map/dm", in it. But, your zip file has everything inside a folder named "firstlevel".

Create a folder named "maps" on your desktop.
Open it and create another folder named "dm".
Put the .bsp file in the dm folder.
Close all the windows.
Rightclick on the maps folder and create a zip file.
Rename the zip file "firstlevel.pk3" and send it to your friends as is, or zip it a second time and tell your friends to unzip it.

folders

You have one to many folders in you zip file. Read my last post again -- I changed it.

Yes, only the .bsp is needed.

Info_player_start

Post by tltrude »

Your map needs some spawn points.

info_player_start - only one

and

info_player_axis - at least one
info_player_allied - at least one

and, or

info_player_deathmatch - at least 2
