getting level to appear in menu for MP

Have you added a .arena file to the pk3. If you haven't take a look at some of the other released maps for an example.

you need to create what's called an arena file. the arena file gets place in a separate directory in the root of the pk3 called scripts and should be title the same name as your map sans the prefix, say if your mapname is "ffa_thismaprocks.bsp" then the arena file would be "thismaprocks.arena". inside the arena file you need to put the following:

 

{

map "ffa_yourmapname"

longname "The title of your map"

type "ffa"

}

 

now there are some other cool things you can do with this, other lines you can put in. you can specify which bots are useable, the kill limit, etc. it's pretty cool. put that sucker into your pk3 and you'll see your map in the menu. have fun.

What would you change in that arena file to have your level playable as multiple game types?

[volrathxp]

in the type field if you put a space and then another game type prefix then it will show up in that gametype as well.
