Testing a map

[SilverRain]

I've been working with gtkRadiant for the last month or so, and I'm approaching the final stages of completing my first map. Now I want to compile a test version. After tweaking the build options a little, I've managed to create a .bsp file. However, I can't load it in tremulous!

How can I test my maps in tremulous? Thanks!

This is the exact same problem Im getting.

Pure Magic.
Is it in your trem/base/maps folder?
Mine is but it still doesnt work.

I'll call for help.

HHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plz help us both.
I made a topic but no result, I puzzled all who posted, I present to you:

SNDM; Puzzling! Strange! Queer!

/sv_pure 0
/devmap bspname

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

in the /devmap, do you actually write:

Code: [Select]

/devmap bsp[mapname]

I thought it was:

Code: [Select]

/devmap [mapname]

?

Mine just says it cant find it. Perhaps it needs glasses?

If you have poopymap.bsp in Tremulous/Base/Maps

/devmap poopymap

If you have bsppoopymap.bsp in Tremulous/Base/Maps

/devmap bsppoopymap

But ALWAYS /sv_pure 0 FIRST!

to make it come up in the map list, u need a script in its pk3 file.

-Map name-.arena

inside that file type

{
  map       "map Name"
  longname  "Map name (loading screen)"
  type      "tremulous"
}

i guess he wants just to test his map after compilin a bsp

then u should have your bsp file (eg. yourmap.bsp) in base\maps\ folder,
for your comfort u can keep your .map files there too... then when u compile ur .bsp file i should appear there, if not - put it there

then just simply run tremulous, bring on console (~) and type /sv_pure 0, ENTER, /devmap yourmap (no need to type yourmap.bsp)... and u should see ur map on the screen... if not - report your errors - maybe problem lies in your map (like sv_brushmodel NULL error, or couldnt find spawn point etc.)

report HOW it is not working... what trem says

and i really recommend u runnin your map for test via console, not Play -> Create Server - etc
