.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

First off, I know next to nothing about making maps, so you'll probably see plenty more of me around here asking a bunch of annoying questions, but it's my dream to be able to make some good multiplayer maps for MOHAA.

Now, when I make a new map are there any steps to follow to create the terrain?

And after I have that set, how do I make fences (namely the kind with barbed wire curls across the top)?

Well terrain is difficult to get right when your starting out but anyways mybe have a look at Bjarne's tutorial http://www.planetmedalofhonor.com/rjukanproject/
You will find some other good tuts on there also.
As for fences etc you need to make the brush with the No draw texture (located textures/common) then texture just one side of the brush only (ctrl shift left mse button).
Some things will be models (right click then static/obstacles barbwire etc)
By the way...welcome to .map.
Seere.

you also realize there is a fine tut here.... is easier than just editing it in radiant WHooo boy! sooo much easier this way....

it's the same tut seere mentioned

click on is link it dont work

Thanks to all for the help!

I now have terrain with a 'skybox' surrounding it with a sky texture and the rest is caulked. When I compile my map to test it, the map loads fine but when I enter the map it's nothing but a black screen, and it says 'Game Saved' in the corner as if it were a single player map. In Mbuilder's options I have single player unchecked. Is there something blaringly obvious that I'm not doing right?

Do I have the map caulked incorrectly so that everything can't be seen?

Nvm, I guess it was just the light wasn't showing up on the map. But one problem that still remains is it still says it's a single player map. How do you convert it to multiplayer?

Add additional info_player_deathmatch spawnpoint(s), compile the map as before (mbuilder settings don't matter), move the bsp into mohaa/main/maps/dm. voil?, map can be launched like other dm maps.

Thanks. The map has been going pretty smoothly so far.

I can't seem to find any good fence textures though. Where are they hidden? All I want is just a regular chain linked fence.

I posted that same thing once.
Its in there, check here

Thanks, that link is a great help. Hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for now.

Sorry, this is probably a really stupid question, but how do you rotate player spawns? The regular rotate feature doesn't work on them.

hit N and use the angles buttons or type in key/value

angle
x.x

90 is up in regular 2d radiant view

Never would have thought of that, thanks.

Another question:
Aside from making custom textures, is there any way to change the color of a texture? That is to say changing a texture of blue wood paneling to a greenish color, etc. I tried the color changer in the surface properties box but it never seems to do anything.

best way is to have PSP or PS (Paint Shop Pro and PhotoShop, respectively) and open the textures in that and edit them, resave to a new pk3 and continue
