yeah, so i been usin gtkradiant and made a simple map buuuut couldn't get it in a pk3 archive so i could play it. I tried zipping all the files that were saved for my map but to no luck. I changed the file to pk3 also but it still didnt show in the map list once i put it in base.
Use Pakscape (http://imn2rc.com/tremulous/PakScape.zip). Open up atcs (or other default map) using it as an example. (I'm guessing you're using windows).

Read the "Layout of the .PK3" and "Common Start Errors". It also contains other useful stuff like
Quote/sv_pure 0 : allows non .pk3 maps to be loaded
/devmap mapname : loads specified maps with cheats enabled for the following commands...
thanks, lol.
