Nkenobi Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I am having trouble trying to get a . arena script to work. { map "Rylockfacility" longname "Rylock Impirial Base" type "duel powerduel" } it is named Rylockfacility.arena and in the scripts folder, but it doesn't work, so i put all the files of my map into a pk3 and put the pk3 in the base folder, but still nothing! I need help getting this done, please. I have to get my map sent in to a contest that ends soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ockniel Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I like to put some extras but I dont know what their for, I just see others do it. example: { map "blah_blah" longname "blah blah" bots "luke" fraglimit "21" type "ffa duel" } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslaf Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 First off, why it doesn't work? It's not on the map list, it doesn't load, where is the problem? Are you able to load your map with "map Rylockfacility" from the game console? Maybe you've got the sv_pure set to 1? If not, then maybe you should change map "Rylockfacility" to map "rylockfacility" in your .arena file. Finally you can make a test pk3 with rylockfacility.arena: { map "mp/duel1" longname "Arena Test" type "duel powerduel" } and test if it works.

Nkenobi Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 still didn't work ok... I am suposed to rename my map rylock (no capitle R) I didn't do that... but I can load it in the consle. I copied that script you made { map "mp/duel1" longname "Arena Test" type "duel powerduel" } but am I suposed to make the first one "MP/duel1" ? I did all that (sept the name change) but it didn't show up, and am I suposed to put the pk3 in the base folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslaf Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 It works on my system even without the pk3. Maybe you don't have a correct pk3, incorrect tree or something. How did you do it?. Put your .arena file into scripts directory and start the game. You level must be on the list - I assume you're checking in on the duel's list.

Nkenobi Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 yes! I am checking all game lists! I make a map, test it a few times through devmap as i am building it, ad bot suport, make sure it works, switch info/player_deathmatch with info/player duel and the rest. make the .arena script, test, doesn't show uo, compile as a final, test still doesn't show up.

WadeV1589 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Ok then what about is it yourmap.arena.txt ? If you've got hide extensions off it'll be .txt if you created a .txt file and renamed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ockniel Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 oh yeah, make sure your making it in notepad, wordpad or microsoft word ar anything else wont work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeV1589 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Microsoft Word not the best choice, stick to notepad whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkenobi Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 wade... not in scripts, but in the pk3 it said .arena.txt I can't change it, and whenever I move the other ok3 in it changes it from Rylockfacility.arena tText Document 1 KB to Rylockfacility.arena. txt when I save it the .arena, at the bottom, there is a thing that says Encoding, do I do something with that? it hasfour selections ANSI Unicode Unicode Big endian UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeV1589 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Type in "Rylockfacility.arena" including the quotation marks and it won't add the .txt ending. Or if you know DOS you can use that to rename it, or if you know how to turn off hide file extensions in Windows, do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zag Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 what i usually do it nick someone elses .arena and just change the stuff i want or i think i did 'save as' in notepad and changed the drop down thing to 'all file types' then did 'mapname.arena' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkenobi Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 I tryed that wade, opened it. saved it as "Rylockfacility.arena" but the file didn't show them, I moved it into the pk3 anyways, but it still changed to to .txt at the end. I tryed renaming the file instead, but it won't let me add the "" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauser Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 No one has mentioned it yet. I looked for it but did not see it. On the second line after saving it as myname.arena........did you save as all files? If you save it as text it will not work obviously. Save it as all files.

Nkenobi Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 wait!... wade I just noticed... when I saved with the "" it didn't save over the txt! it made a new file, and the file is an arena file, not a txt! I put that in the pk3 tryed it out and int he dule list there was Rylock IMP facility! but.. I havn't given it a level shot yet, and its pic was that of bespin court yard! I loaded it, but it loaded bespin courtyard... hmm... :EDIT: If I remove the arena script from the script's folder and the BSP from the base folder it no longer shows up in the game directory, so the PK3 must not work. If I place the BSP back and the arena back it shows up as I said before. :EDIT: again... I got the pk3 to work, instead of the script in the scripts folder, but I still have the problem where is shows bespin courtyard levelshot, and loads bespi courtyard, and I have a level shot now.

WadeV1589 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 have you left your arena file to say map "mp/duel1". If so that's why That line needs to point to your BSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkenobi Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 ROFL some things in life are just that simple arn't they? one more bug now, its in duel directory, I loaded it, but it couldn't find a spawn point... I have no info/player_deathmatches I have 2 info_player_duel 1 info/player_duel1 and 2 info/player_duel2 but it can't find a spawn point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ockniel Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 yeah, I can never get those to work, so I always end up using a couple of info_player_starts, would that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkenobi Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 isn't that a SP spawn point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
