Post by: zeta on June 30, 2006, 06:08:09 pm

ok can someone plz tell me the pk3 layout for trem cuz i dont know it

and i would make a tut so other people could figure out

i got 2 maps done here in bsp form with level shots but i dont know what else i need to do to get them to work in pk3 file

PK3's are juist zips,Open one up with Winrar or something and in the map u should see the following folders

Textures
Sound
scripts
models
maps
levelshots
env

just make those folders ,Zip them and rename the extension to pk3.Obviously putting the required files in the folders first.

Hope i helped.

Quote from: "zeta"

ya but textures on crates are a B*atchD

Use the surface inspector (hit s) to fit the crate textures to the brush. Use texture lock in the brush menu so you can move the crate with out the texture going out of alignment.

Post by: zeta on June 30, 2006, 09:01:06 pm

ya would but i think the map looks fine since its already kinda small

i dont know anyone else try it

i wanna get it workin so i can test it out with ma friends


i think it might eb the arena file because if that has a error then the quake engine or tremulous cant even find it in the map select for creating a server

Title: Finished with the map... NOW WHAT??/
Post by: Thorn on June 30, 2006, 09:03:57 pm

i give up,

u can still get to the pk3 using /map sal

Title: Finished with the map... NOW WHAT??/
Post by: zeta on June 30, 2006, 09:09:34 pm

i found out the problem

it was because my .arena file extension was .shader

so i changed it to .arena and i can now play it

i will now start a new thread with teh DL to my map xD

THANKS for all ure help xD

Title: Finished with the map... NOW WHAT??/
Post by: Thorn on June 30, 2006, 09:10:43 pm

Title: Finished with the map... NOW WHAT??/
Post by: zeta on June 30, 2006, 09:15:19 pm
