Hmm, seems that you have too many “.pk3”-files in your etmain directory.

Another reasosn:
Have you set the max- and min-coordinates in the worldspawn-entity?

(dark-tim) #3

does it matter if you type /map or /devmap ?
Ive just been typing /map for ages, forgot it was supposed to be /devmap

dark-tim, coords have to be PERFECT square and about 64 units MORE than the actual boundaries of the map. Though it being square is the most important aspect. I’ve have test maps with smaller coords and it worked good but I won’t load if it’s not square.

Also make sure you have team_CTF_redspawn, team_CTF_bluespawn and info_player_deathmatch in the map. If not, you might have problems entering the limbo menu.

Definately sounds like you have too many pk3 files in your etmain folder, those are the exact symptoms of it. All you need to do is make a new folder in etmain called pk3’s or similar and move your custom pk3’s into it. Be careful not to move the originals though.

Im also having this problem. Without coordsmax/mins my map comes up, but i cant go to the limbo menu to select a team.

when i do have them the map doesnt even load.
i got the coords as 320,-320 (mins) and -320,320 (maxs)
i have red, blue and info_player_deathmatch

Anyone know what the problem is?

(L4suicide) #12

ok one thing ive found out is a problem is still having radiant open. But im still having problems trying to go into L menu.

anyone got any ideas why?

(Mr_Tickles) #13

Ummm, like in another thread, you have to have the red and blue spawns rather than the flags…

(L4suicide) #14

Pretty sure i have spawns and not flags

(RAV3N) #15

u can still use the flags just as long as u have a info_deathmatch thing :stuck_out_tongue:

hang on no thats wrong u just spawn from the deathmatch thing :stuck_out_tongue:

(L4suicide) #16

well i have spawn points and deathmatch point. they are in my box, and i have set up min and max coords…
dunno what problem is :frowning:
do i need to a certain compile maybe?

Try to remove some of the “.pk3”-files out of the “etmain”-folder.
But please don’t touch the “pakX.pk3”-files.
Copy the others into a seperate folder.
