gotcha8903 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 This is my first map and I cant get it to appear in the multiplayer map selection screen. I have been using Rich Diesels tutorials and the .arena file isnt working for some reason. Any solutions? -thx Master Carter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothiX Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Can you post the arena file you're using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcha8903 Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 it is: map yavinffa longname Yavin Courtyard type duel ffa team and the file is located in gamedata\base\scripts and called yavinffa.arena, and is saved as a .txt file.

Business_Eskimo Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 It is saved as a txt file? So, the filename is yavinffa.arena.txt? That won't work, it needs to be yavinffa.arena. Other than that, it looks fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Killa Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 you forgot your quotes... { map "yavinffa" longname "Yavin Courtyard" type duel ffa team } Also it is easier to save it as a .txt and rename it to .arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure when you save it, in the file type window, make sure "All Files" is selected - it will then use the file extension you give it, and not add a common one to it. Yeah, M$ Winblows keeps pissing me off, all the crap. Oh man, I've messed with XP a few times, and that's probably the shortest I've ever gone from "oh, hello there new computer" to "I damn you to the deepest reaches of computer hell you god damn POS!!!" heheheheh. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
