Oh dear. Another problem. Well, not actually a problem, just a question.

That shouldn't make a difference, I've mapped with either and had them work in both MP and SP. But it's solved anyway, w00t!  |

Quote: Needs to have an info_player_start enitity inside of the map. And make sure you did a compile that includes a -vis process {Either of the (test) compiles or (final) compiles should work} err, no... First always use a compile, when compiling for the first time, use a compile that has (meta) in it. If you're just testing how your map looks, a meta will do fine, to check it out. You will notice though, that you have no special light effects in your map. You'll have to do a (light) compile for that one A final compile takes waay too long if you just want to test it, in my opinion Meta is fast, I like fast for testing purposes _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Well, that's what is wrong, by the looks of it - the bsp file isn't in the Gamedata/base/maps directory. If you want it there, it's best to save the map file there too. But anyway, try and find the .bsp file of your map and put it into your Gamedata/base/maps folder. If you cannot find it, perhaps there was an error when it compiled. Try compiling it again and checking for any errors. |

Make sure you save your map to the Game's Gamedata/base/maps folder, then compile it. It should then work. |

Well, thats more of a reason to make sure that a MP map works in MP. Ie. to make sure it actually works. And Bail doesn't actually mean "see" the void, as you can make a box out of caulk, and it wouldn't leak, but you could see the void in game. You actually have to make sure that something called the "vis" process doesn't leak into the void. Funilly enough, this involves making sure you can't see the void from inside your map, while only viewing structural brushes in radiant. _______________ A wizard did it. |

I'd test it in Single Player, since both MP and SP maps can work in it. This comment was edited by Setementor on Jan 16 2005 10:00pm. |

Quote: i've done that but it says 'map leaked'. oh, and do i start it in multiplayer? map leaked: means that it's possible to see the Void (everything grey in the 3D view) from inside your map. It should give you a red line, to show you where the map is leaked. You should always try to keep your map leak free and yes, Multiplayer oh btw, try doing: File -> Project Settings If you're making a map for MP, be sure that at "Mapping Mode", it says Multiplayer if you're making a map for SP, be sure to set this to Single Player but things like first rooms work in both it's the more advanced stuff that's different for MP or SP _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!
