When I goto make a Multiplayer map It gives a message saying no spawn site,.. I have used the info/player/dm spawn tag by itself, 2 spots and 3,. I have also saved it in Maps and DM thinking it would work there,... any help would be appreciated,.
Thanks in Advance

Most likely you are having an error during compile! When you have a hole in the skybox or somthing that creates a leak, the BSP won't write that prt file that is needed for the next part in the compile.
You should fix the leaks, some leaks can be ignored like doors (if they still work as you want them) can you give us the exact error msg during BSP! I assume that it only runs BSP and then compile end and you might have a terrible light in the map??

What do you mean by all you have is your .map? You must compile the map to get the BSP file, if you have it set up wrong it won't complie, if you have errors during compile the BSP might not be created or it will just create the BSP and not do VIS/light (see previous reply)

Yep read the tutorial,.. It shows all these directories for these files that I dont have,. I broke down some pk3s that people have made and it shows scr and script files,.. do I need to make those kind of files also to make a Pk3? or are there generic files I can insert into the pk3,.. I do understand the zip conversion over to pk3.. Thanks

You need a bsp file and a scr file. Compile your map and make a .scr file. If yours is SP, then try to check out the tut section and put everything together. If yours is MP(DM/OBJ) try to study other ppl's script or ask some ppl.
