im having problems, seeking wisdom.

(Djmr) #1

hi, I’ve just started mapping yesterday, and have made a basic map, thanks to your tutorials. Now, I wanted to make a more complicated map, where the allies have to steal gold from their base by dymamiting the entrance and escape with the axis’s truck. Here’s my problems:

  1. How do I make these gold crates, like the ones in goldrush?

  2. How do I make the truck, like the one in goldrush?

  3. How do I make a truck barrier?

plz help, I am hopelessly stuck :???:

You are in luck. The goldrush .map file comes with radiant. I suggest you have a look around :smiley:

(Djmr) #3

thanks SCDS, I have.

Im tring to test my map out, but it says that my map is leaked, what does that mean?

(Ifurita) #4

The interior of your map isn’t completely sealed off from the void. Specifically, one of your entities can draw a path which leads it outside the map (big fricken red line). Follow that and you’ll find your leak

(Djmr) #5

ok, so what should I do to the leak?

(EB) #6

You need to block the leak off.
Follow the line that the entity gives you and close the area off by a brush extension or if you haven’t done it yet, a skybox. Creating a box around your map around grid size 8 and caulk the entire structure and texture it’s innerds with a sky shader. If the map leaks and there isn’t an evident red line, you may need to go to “misc” on the toolbar and “find brush”. Enter in the valid #, most times it will be an entity # and it should highlight that entity for you.
Some models are just a hassle, so if they leak on you, you may just want to avoid them until you learn abit more about mapping.
Good Luck.

:bump: :bump:
Will anyone answer me?

What should I do to the leak? also, I’m struggling with the truck, the goldrush map didnt help with that. :lookaround:

read EB`s post^^ he already answered your question.

if u have a models whats getting market as “leak” but it is definitely not in the void check if the models is in a structural brush. that can cause your leak message.

to the truck… grow with ur maps! dont start with the catchiest thing. start to read a lot of tutorials… read them again and try to rebuild a commandpost etc.

(Djmr) #9

Okay, Ive dumped that map and started something easier.

EB beat me in posting, as you can see it was minutes between the post, that’s why it’s there.

I need help again, Im tring to run my .bsp map on ET by typing \sv_pure 0\g_gametype 2\map Overhaul (overhaul is my map) when I press `. But it doesnt work, does anyone know?

(Ifurita) #11

any error messages? That might help.

(Djmr) #12

it does nothing. I typed it in correctly, the file is there, but there is nothing

(Ifurita) #13

well, typically whenever a map of mine won’t load, there is some error message like “cannot find .bsp", “invalid autospawn”, " must have a target”, “g_scripting *****”. Without some sort of error message, you’ll just get a lot of guessing.

(kamikazee) #14

Maybe you typed all those commands on one line?
Since that won’t do, every “/<command>” needs to be put on a new line.

Can’t think of another thing you could have done wrong so that you won’t get an error…

(EB) #15

Exactly, also verify you have a Overhaul.bsp file and make sure it is located in the ‘maps’ folder inside of your ‘etmain’ folder, otherwise the map does not exist in the games Point of View.

(Djmr) #16

yeah, I did put them on one line, heh.

Well, now a new problem has popped up. I’ve made my map now, I ran it but it said no spawn point found. I do have everything on my spawnpoints, the team_wolf_objective and team_CTF_bluespawns/team_CTF_redspawns around them. Would anyone know why this is happening?

(Codename_Ty) #17

Have you put an info_player_deathmatch entity in? You’ll need that as well.

(smallwood2000) #18

Check below for 2 very easy map tutorials im posting my 3rd soon but this one will be tidyer i have put a tutorial on making a simple constructable and a simple forward spawn poit + the script for this, This next utorial is how to mix them both togher and add a final objective, easy a map for any amount of terrors

also i post this site my site is crap compared but becarefull on there tutorials pay no attention to any tutorial with script in because all the tutorials are for rtcw except a few but its good enough to get your map-making skills up to scratch

yep, it was the info_player_deathmatch.

I have got it working, I was wowed with the results! Well, its almost complete, I’m troubled by func_explosive. Im stuck with the info_player_intermission being activated when I destroy it, and the actual dymomiting. Anyone?

(smallwood2000) #20

Do u want the match to end when you blow up the dynamtie
