starting the map not working

(ShadowAgent) #1

I put my .bsp file in the etmain/maps folder and opened the console, entered the usual stuff…


/sv_pure 0
/g_gametype 2
/devmap mapname

and then the screen shows


connecting to:
localhost

Awaiting gamestate... 0

and it freezes there?

You should go through basic tutorials.
You must have set mapcoordinates in map and if you not have some errors and unusable some origin brushes you should not get error message.
And GTK Radiant is automatically compiling Bsp into folder map.
Then only load your map in console

hmm, when i dont put coordinates my game wont freeze or crash even when i open limbo but for others it does, i wonder how i can let my friend do the same, copy my wolf to him?
and i guess you typed your mapname wrong…

(Flippy) #4

If you typed mapname wrong it will say that it can’t find the map…

If you didn’t put mapcoords in then it will play fine, no errors at all, the only problem is that your compas-map is unaligned.
Afaik this should be the same with everyone… they’re almost alwys something else wrong when people can’t load their map and get told to put mapcoords in… i think it’s just a myth lol

putting in map coords is the last thing i do in map :lol:

Try to wait longer - it should tell you the error (2-5 mins depending on comp configuration)

(ShadowAgent) #6

i put my mapcoords

(murka) #7

hmm, i didnt put coordinates in my map, shipped it to constra and he couldn’t open it cuz an error popped up, but i dont know what error.

(murka) #9

if your config is read-only it might not change it or changes only for a little time.

(crytp559) #10

Get this i finaly think i fix it … But now consol says make script to model ???

(murka) #11

maybe shaderscript for the textures

(Walking Target) #12

Well that /sv_pure 0 etc works fine for me. I can run around on my map.

I remember something… u gonna place it in some folder, else it won’t find the map with /devmap mapname
