[SOLVED] Testing map

[Kiwi]

I have created my .bsp and put it in the .pk3, correctly, with the maps and textures folders and all.  But I can't see it in the !listmaps once I've started a map, and /map nameofmap just comes up with maps/nameofmap.bsp wasn't found...  I also have sv_pure 0.  Any Ideas why I can't see my .pk3 or .bsp?
Thanks,
Kiwi

Make sure you have a .Arena file.

(Somebody please post some linkage; I r 2 lay-Z)

Winnie, .arena files only make it show up in the create server map list.
Kiwi, there are no spaces in the file name?
Also so this is how it is (just to confirm); base>nameofmap.pk3 -> [maps>nameofmap.bsp  textures>nameofmap>textures(.jpg/.tga)]
btw if it's in a pk3 you don't need 'sv_pure' set to 0

@Know: Afaik, you will bork quite a few things by not including an arena file.

No, theres nothing wrong with that, there will just be no loading info.

Oh, okay.

Kiwi.. you kind of abandoned your own topic, man.

No, I've been wrapped up in school.  Perhaps 1 too many Honors classes

But I've tested it with or without the .pk3 and sv_pure is 0 for both tests.  I have placed everything in the .pk3 right.  As for the .arena file, I'm not slightly worried about getting anything but my little box to load as of now.  I have some problems with textures in netradient though, so do I need to include egg and spawn textures as well?

Edit: Ok, I hosted my .pk3 here.  If you see anything wrong, please tell me.  Also, if you have time.  Could you test it out to see if you can get it to work to determine if its a ".pk3" problem or a "where I put the .pk3" problem.

Problem is simple you've dont the pk3 wrong, you must have misunderstood what I said. Take the maps, textures, scripts out of the test folder (They go straight in pk3, look at other pk3s and you'll see).


Oh and you need a 'info_player_intermission' in the map (Otherwise you get error).

I still don't understand what you mean.  Shouldn't my folder look like:

Code Select Expand

test.pk3
--->maps
--->--->test.bsp
--->textures
--->--->test
--->--->--->texture1
--->--->--->texture2
--->--->--->texture3
--->--->--->texture4
--->--->--->texture5
--->scrips
--->--->test.arena
--->--->test.shader

I think this is what I have, correct me if I'm wrong.  Could you also change these folders the way you were talking about them sent/host them for me?  That would greatly help.

Also, I matched the layout of my .pk3 with the tremor layout I believe.

Thanks,
Kiwi


===edit===
Nevermind, I figured out what I did wrong:
I didn't have what I thought my layout was, instead I had:

Code Select Expand

test.pk3
--->test
--->--->maps
--->--->--->test.bsp
--->--->textures
--->--->--->test
--->--->--->--->texture1
--->--->--->--->texture2
--->--->--->--->texture3
--->--->--->--->texture4
--->--->--->--->texture5
--->--->scrips
--->--->--->test.arena
--->--->--->test.shader

I just had to take out the "--->test" folder on the 2nd line.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

No problem.
