testmap not a campaign file, gametype 2 question


(Tofuy) #1

i’m ready to test the alpha version of my map(ctf_testA) but i get this error messege in my mapping version of et.exe. i did google to see if i could answer how to change to gametype 2 but didn’t find pages explaining this to me(i think mostly because i don’t understand exactly what i’m looking for and probably didn’t use the right words). i presume this is a quick command i can enter in the consol and if anyone knows what it is i’d appreciate it. thanks!

Ok, bring down the console with the key that looks like ` (it’s the one to the left of ‘1’).
Then type in:

/sv_pure 0
/g_gametype 2
/devmap Tofuymapname

You can save yourself a great deal of time by using “q3map2build”. It allows you to provide the instructions when loading the executable saving you the hassel of typing it every time. It might be good to make a CFG file for other instances.

can u post a link to q3map2build?

for some reason after reformatting, i can never find the link in proper fashion…

@tofuy
this is what my autoexec.cfg looks like:

set developer 1
set sv_pure 0
set g_gametype 2

can save you a lot of time ad crazedfan pointed out already.
