Just right click on the "maps" folder and make it a zip. You can rename the zip file "user-dm_death_room.pk3" afterwards.

You only need a pk3 if you are going to send it to other people. If all you want to do is test your map, put the maps folder in Mohaa/main.

what kind of error do you get, or does it just not show at all. i guess this would be good a place as any, how come when u compile u get a prt and a vis. what are they for? ive never needed them.

The .prt file is created during the intitial compile as well as the .vis and the initial .bsp file.

The .prt file is used for portal calculations/views/chains, along with the .vis file during the VIS stage of the compile. They are then "combined" into the final .bsp file after lighting is complete.

So basically, you don't use them, the compiler uses them.
