Finished with the map... NOW WHAT??/

[zeta]

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

[Thorn]

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.

[zeta]

THANKS DUDE

i know what i was doing wrong

for the stuff i didnt have like textures cuz i didnt use any custom ones

i didnt put a folder so thanks a bunch!

[Thorn]

Sure m8

[zeta]

ok i got another problem its in pk3

with a .arena file

and everything u know

but it wont show up in the maps u can choose from in creat ure own game

even tho i can still devmap the .pk3 and it runs just fine with the level shot and everything

EDIT: heres a link to the .pk3 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XKDAXFNZ

[Thorn]

ok , is that a quake map or a trem map? ok working on it now

[zeta]

trem

i was just saying it was the first time i have had to make .pk3's so i dont exactly know how to

but ya its for tremulous

and it should be pretty fun once we get it workin lol

[Thorn]

lol.

u should now add osme crates and stuff to make it more nice looking

[zeta]

ya but textures on crates are a B*atch

Lol looks fun tho huh??

its a perfect map for a small number of people cuz its constant action all the time and think of this

jumpin around with a shotgun dodging dragoons and killin dretches

2 best things in this map will be goon's and shotguns xD

[Thorn]

Yeah,put spawns in the map

Edit:Oh nvm soz neva seen em

[Thorn]

hmm , any chance of the .map file?

[zeta]

[Thorn]

1.4 its those pole things ,i post a scrnshot

[Thorn]

^^

[zeta]

WHAT THE H3LL???

i didnt even ever add those HM

thats weird

when i play it in game it doesnt show, and it dont show in my radiant

did u try playing the pk3?

[Thorn]

yeah i looked round, who knows ^^

[gareth]

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.

[zeta]

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

[Thorn]

i give up,

u can still get to the pk3 using /map sal

[zeta]

FIXED IT

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

[Thorn]

oo i was wandering why u had a shader

[zeta]

lol ya ikno i read on a site that u were suppose to name it .shader

but i guess it was wrong cuz on another it says u need to name it .arena
