Testing the map

[BigBosss]

How i test my map without making a pk3????

[CalcProgrammer1]

in JA MP (or SP) Main menu do ~ and SHIFT (open the console) and do:

/sv_pure 0

/devmap <mapname>

 

Remember to compile it first using Radiant's Build menu

When you use the Build menu in Radiant, you will see a DOS Console window, or if you're using Linux you will probably see some kind of console, and then wait until it goes away, don't close it. It builds the .bsp from your map, and if you saved your map in /GameData/base/maps then the bsp will be created there, and you don't have to do anything but open JA and then pull down console and type:

/sv_pure 0

/devmap <mapname>

When you DO make a pk3, once you want to send the map to people or post online, you put just the .bsp in the /maps directory of your pk3.
