ok, i have got a map to load and have messed around on it, i used TDM spawns, i also done my world spawn and my sky box but i dont think u need them to done for the map to load up as i didnt do them the 1st time...and yes, everything was black apart from lil lights i put in. anyway i'm using ffa spawns now. i put on in and my map went straight to blackot so i thought i might need to 2 spawns since its ffa and u need to someone to kill but still done the same. How many spawns do i need for it to work and is there anything else i need to add in for the map to load up that i have over looked. I want to check out what i've done already to make sure it looks ok. thx

You only need 1 spawn for DM, mp_dm_spawn and dont forget the mp_global_intermission (spectator spawn) are you doing \g_gametype dm then loading the map? cuz default is WAR/TDM

hmmm ok, i using radient, i right click on my map and do mp then dm_spawn it puts the spawn spot in, then i save, exit, complie BSP/complie reflections/build fast files/update zone files, then i complie BSP again/complie reflections again and bilud fat files and then click "run selected map" as i've done for my other maps. I do it that way cos i dont know what ur ment to do after you update zon files, so i do it all

For MP A closed in box (no leaks) (and yes worldspawn settings are needed but the map will load without them), TDM spawns (allied start points, axis start points and TDM general spawns), at least 1 global intermission, a successful compile, build into fast file. For DM then its just 1 DM spawn, but make sure that Global intermission is included. And finally, the basic MP script (this will do:) main() { maps\mp\_load::main(); game["allies"] = "marines"; game["axis"] = "opfor"; game["attackers"] = "allies"; game["defenders"] = "axis"; game["allies_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; game["axis_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; } With all files in correct directories. If the map loads fine then you can just do: /g_gametype dm /map_restart Or use the +set commands in the compiler to run the map with the dm gametype straight away. Always load you map in developer mode, to check for errors in the console log. edited on Aug. 28, 2008 04:22 pm by techno2sl

You have to type that stuff because you want to run your map in DM. Without it it will run in TDM, because that's what CoD4 MP starts in normally.

ok... i done this or atleast i've done it right. still not quite sure on how to make the .gsc file. this is what i done i right clicked on my desktop and made a new txt file, in that file i have done the following.... main() { maps\mp\_load::main(); maps\mp\_exploding_barrels::main(); game["allies"] = "marines"; game["axis"] = "opfor"; game["attackers"] = "allies"; game["defenders"] = "axis"; game["allies_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; game["axis_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; } i renamed the file and put .gsc at the end and placed it in raw\maps\mp folder with the other gsc files. my file doesn't say its agsc file like the others abd still says text document. so i'm guessing thats not how u create a gsc file, is there something in the mod tools u click on which makes one that you just edit?? i really just want to see my map up and running b4 i do too much thx

your script file is probably a .gsc.txt file, which means it's a text file still. Turn on the filetypes by doing this: Open Windows Explorer Go to Tools->Folder Options Tab "view" UNcheck "hide extentions for known filetypes". then remove the .txt extention.
