Error...


(-xXx-Shifty) #1

Im new to this editor (have used Unreal Ed 3.0 for a while) and i know how to compile it, and start the game (ET), but when it goes to the screen with the map of central europe, it cuts out and goes back to the main menu and gives me this error:

“Map “Tutorial” isnt a valid campaign starting map. Set your gametype to 2 to load it directly.”

What do i do to fix this?

to get into your map in the console…

/sv_pue 0
/g_gametype 2
/devmap mapname

check the sticky or search next time or you will probably get flamed

Yepp. This is something absolutely basic for mapping in ET and you ll find it in every mapping-for-beginners tutorial. Plus in about 50 threads (estimated) in this forum. Your next problem will probably be “map freezes when entering the Limbo menue”… then you ll find an answer to your problem in about another 50 threads (search for the keywords mapcoordsmins and/or mapcoordsmax).

So what I basically want to say is 2 things:

  1. plz use the forum search, you ll find answers to 95% of your problems in the threads here AND tons of info that will be useful later on
  2. Welcome to the mapping world of ET, Shifty. Have Fun!

Welcome to the forums.

Later on you will find the following options useful:


+set g_scriptdebug 1
+set logfile 1

This will create a logfile in your etmain-directory.

oh yes, i love to say this:

give your threads meaningful titles!
really can’t be that hard :banghead:

Yea logging files of the compile will prove very useful. Although I prefer Q3map2build for compiling because its a very easy-to-use frontend tool for Q3map2. You can get it here:

oh man, sorry, your right i should have read the sticky, i’ve just been to so many forums to ask this question and so far you are the first ones to answer, i just got sloppy :bored: same goes for the title… and the rest of it. well, thanks a lot for the help, and sorry for acting like a forum noob :smiley:

People are here to help each other. But most of them usually don’t change the text colour because it’s easier to read and help then :wink:


(Ifurita) #9

You might also try regular white text. The green is very hard to read
