Beginner need help

(Crocopep) #1

Dear people from this forums,

I finished my map in gtk radiant 1.5 and tested it using:
Build > Q3Map2: (single) BSP -meta.

Now I want to publish my map so other people can play it and you can see it in the map list when you start the game and go to ‘host game’.

I read about pk3’s, scripts but I didn’t understand it.

Please help me.

YES I TRIED THE SEARCH BUTTON.

Here you go , just follow this and you should be on your way in no time. remember to always keep an updated version of your .map file somewhere safe just incase something bad happens, i learned that from experience :stuck_out_tongue:
good luck on your map and mapping career :slight_smile:

btw think about adding some light and compiling it with the -light switch.
light does make a map much more attractive :wink:

Make [Map_name].arena and open it with notpad
then put this (Do not change type)

{
	map			"[Your Maps Name]"
	longname		"[Maps long name]"
	type			"wolfmp wolfsw wolflms"
	briefing		"[Maps Breifing]
	mapposition_x	600
	mapposition_y	300
}

Then save it and put it into your scripts folder in your pk3 :slight_smile:
(Respawn time and maps time limit should be in game script)

Search harder :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, try google.

Opening other people’s pk3s is also very useful, to see what you need to include.
