Problem with pk3

(Chaplin) #1

Hello everybody,

I got a problem with the creation of a pk3 file, 3 hours on it and I didn’t find a solution. I’m going to make a nervous breakdown. :angry:

When I try to launch my pk3, I got this error : “can’t find map /maps/test.bsp”

I followed the instructions of sock here : PK3 Creation

Programs used : WinRAR, WinZip and Pakscape -> same problem

I got only 2 files in my pk3 : the BSP and the arena files. Like this :

test.pk3 -> 2 directories
maps -> test.bsp
scripts -> test.arena

My arena file looks like this (it’s really an arena file and not an arena.txt file)

{
    map "test"
    longname "test"
    type "wolfmp wolfsw wolflms"
    timelimit 200
    axisRespawnTime 1
    alliedRespawnTime 1
    briefing "blahblahblah"
    axiswintext "Axis Win!"
    alliedwintext "Allied Win!"
    mapposition_x 200
    mapposition_y 400
}

I used /g_gametype 2, /sv_pure 0, /devmap test or /map test.

The bsp works fine before the compression to pk3.

I also tried to put the pk3 in differents directories : /etmain, /etmain/maps, /etmain/maps/test, etc.

Any idea ? Thanks a lot ! :slight_smile:

see if it works without sv_pure 0

Indeed, sv_pure will try to use a non-packaged version of the map.

I tried but it doesn’t work too. :frowning:

how many .pk3’s do you have in the etmain folder and what do you name your .pk3 ?

(Chaplin) #6

I got 100 or more pk3 in my etmain folder. All of them work when I launch them with /devmap or /map.

My pk3 is named test.pk3, like my map.

thats bad :stuck_out_tongue: make a clean install and use that for mapping, oh, and you tested all 100 or more to see if they worked?

Well, it seems my file was not a pk3 but a RAR file renamed to pk3.

Big THANKS to EB for checking my file and to the others for their help. :slight_smile:
