How do I choose gametype?

[Talyn]

How would I go about making my map a duel_xxxx map? or do I just name it duel_ and the game does the rest?

Yes name it duel, but also make a .arena file that specifies duel inside it.

If I knew what a .arena file was at all maybe that would have helped

An arena file lets you specify the name you want for your map, the types that you want it to be available for, etc....

 

It would be named like this:

 

yourmapname.arena

 

 

When you open it up in notepad, it should look like this:

 

{

map "mymap"

bots "Lando"

longname "My Map"

fraglimit 20

type "duel"

}

 

Just copy that to a notepad file, edit it to fit your map, and save it as a .arena file.

 

For the 'type' part of it, you can add other types besides the 'duel' type.... like this:

 

type "duel ffa ctf"

 

Also, once your done, just in case your not sure of where to put it... take a look at this tutorial that gives you some info on where to put things in your PK3 file:

Sorry if thats sorta confusing, I can't explain things very well without going into alot of detail... and that would take up alot of time if I did.

I wasn't aware that this existed until now... but here is a tutorial for making arena files for Quake 3.

Just be aware of the differences between quake 3 and JK2... so you don't end up mixing up the gametypes or anything.
