I made 3 maps that had this same error. I would completely compile the map with no errors. I then make the arena and gsc and put it in the right places. I have the bsp and gsc files under maps/mp and the arena under mp. Here is the files. arena { map "mp_beach" longname "mp_beach"" gametype "tdm" } gsc main() { ambientPlay("ambient_mp_railyard"); maps\mp\_load::main(); game["allies"] = "american"; game["axis"] = "german"; game["american_soldiertype"] = "airborne"; game["american_soldiervariation"] = "normal"; game["german_soldiertype"] = "fallschirmjagercamo"; game["german_soldiervariation"] = "normal"; } Id make the pk3 like that but it doesnt work. The map doesnt show up in the server listing ussualy and if it does it shows up for all gametypes not just tdm. Help would be appreciated

Can you start the map by typing /map mp_beach in your console? Also, make sure there is not accidentally an old .pk3 file left with a wrong arena file in it.

If you can't load your map, it means your .pk3 file is not correct. Or maybe there are so many custom maps in your /main folder it is not getting loaded. If this is the case, move all the custom maps to a temp folder and move them back when you're done/. You should ALWAYS map with a clean install, so

It could be that you have an extra " here -> longname "mp_beach"". Try taking it off, it might make a differance

Hi also How are you making it into a pk3 i use winzip and have no probs but when i use winrar thats when i start havin probs and the game cant see the map Juat a thought And ive just add another " to my arena file where there is 1 in Harbinger arena longname "mp_beach"" and mine worked no probs so its quite possible its how you are making your pk3 if you wanted you can always give me a shout and add me on xfire and i can have a look for you?
