Kengo Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 OK, have built an SP level, done a final compile - Fullvis (extra) [i think?], was wondering how I get from all these different types of file for the same map... LIN, BAK, MAP and BSP to a pk3 file? Also, is there anything else I need to do (am working on the readme)? Any other useful things I should know? Any help much appreciated.
Gideon Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 how about telling us what your level is all about? Sorry, can't help you. I can annoy you though but something tells me that that isn't what you want me to do so I'll be on my way now. "I declare that I'm a complete idiot and therefore not responsible for my actions!"
Kengo Posted June 11, 2002 Author Posted June 11, 2002 I'm responsible for all my actions, except the completely idiotic ones
Grets Sirob Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 You have a leak, .lin files only appear if you have a leak. Fix that, then do whatever you have to do, k? :no wampa smily:mad: make one!: Roar!
Kengo Posted June 12, 2002 Author Posted June 12, 2002 :S Thanks for pointing that out, <stupid question> will the map still play OK with a leak just outa interest? </stupid question>
Xcom Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 THat depends on what you understand by "OK"? But, if you mean whether it will load in the game, IIRC - yes.
Kengo Posted June 12, 2002 Author Posted June 12, 2002 Ah For me OK means it won't actually destroy someones computer - I set myself high standards! So the LIN filoe I don't need, the MAP file is presumably the file the editor uses, so don't need that in the pk3 file, I feel a bit silly as I looked through the other threads some more and found that you gotta download that program to make pk3s, bloody fileplanet with a 35 minute queue just to start downloading! The one I'm not sure about...do I need to put that .bak file into the pk3 as well as the .bsp file?
Grets Sirob Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 Nope, the .bak file is a backup file for if your map somehow implodes. So no, you don't need it. :no wampa smily:mad: make one!: Roar!
Kengo Posted June 12, 2002 Author Posted June 12, 2002 Thanks for making that clear Grets , right, I think its nearly done (rubs hands)
Kengo Posted June 12, 2002 Author Posted June 12, 2002 Map is done, zipped up and has been sent to all the jk2 sites I can think of, thanks a lot for all the help everyone BTW, incase anyone else has same problems I had with all this pk3 suff, best tutorial I found on it was: http://planetquake.com/bubba/pk3.html I'll post some blatant-attempt-to-get-publicity thread as soon as (if) map is put up on these sites, I've already got a sneaky plan to essentially make another level from the same piece of dough......
Kengo Posted June 12, 2002 Author Posted June 12, 2002 Welllllllll........on later extract I don't think I got a .lin extension file, if there is still a leak it should be a small one, hopefully
Kengo Posted June 12, 2002 Author Posted June 12, 2002 Ah, I think I worked out what the leak was - using a partially see through floor texture with nothing below However, on the plus side the level ends the moment you enter that room, so shouldn't be a problem play-wise, the level seems to run fine
Xcom Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 There shouldn't be any leaks. PERIOD. Don't get me wrong but realeasing a map with a leak will significantly spoil your rating. open the console in the game, usually you'll see: ************ LEAKED ************ in purple or red. If you don't see it, you are saved.
Kengo Posted June 12, 2002 Author Posted June 12, 2002 Whew! I checked the console and found no mention of anything leaked, nor any purple or red textures, hurrah!
