Making an ET map for First Timers

(Reata) #81

I tried to make this map but whenever I try to load it I get error messages telling me can’t find maps (mapname).bsp I can’t figure why it compiles fine and when i look in the maps directory it is there.

Before you type in: devmap <mapname>, be sure to add:
sv_pure 0 (allows using files outside of pk3’s)
g_gametype 2 (sets the gametype to 2: objective)
He couldn’t find it earlier, because it is not in a pk3. Adding sv_pure 0 will solve your problem.

I did type in /sv_pure 0 and /g_gamtype 2 and I got the message

Make sure you’re using the correct install of ET.

(Reata) #85

which ones the correct one and how do I check to see what I’ve got?

(Ifurita) #86

Well, some people have multiple installations of ET, one for mapping, one for testing, one for playing. In which one is your bsp and which one are you launching to test it?

(EB) #87

what did you name the map ?

(Higgins) #88

Make sure to have a red and blue spawn, a death match spawn, and make sure the mapcoords are = to each other, so -1092 2047 2947 -1973 wont work, you need them to be -1000 1000 -1000 1000.

EDIT: Three ET installs! I only have 2, one for playing and one for my work and to test them.

I only have one install of enemy territory so I am using the right one and I am sure that I have the coords correct but I am going to double check that now and I also have all the spawns. The map name is town.bsp

I made sure the mapcoords were equall it didn’t change any thing

can you zip the .map file up and send it to me ? I think it would be a faster cure.

(Reata) #91

How do I send it to you? You don’t have your e-mail in your profile

(EB) #92

check your PM box

(yourself) #93

when i change my map to a bsp thing it says error to many open files. any ideas what is wrong?

(D3C0Y) #94

erm ok, welcome to mapping

.map files are the files gtkradiant uses, so if you save something there u will get “yourmap.map”

then the next step is to compile your map, then you will get “yourmap.bsp”, and this is the file ET uses

I advise you to go over these first:
