Please answer my question on playing my map...

[ProjectFusion]

Hi,

I just downloaded the SDK from http://www.jedi-outcast.com yesturday, and created a map. I did the BSP>BSP Full Vis thing, and then saved my map. I then booted up Pakscape and pk3ed my map (using a map directory and music directory.) i loaded in the sp jk2 console and it said:

Could not find maps/mymap.bsp

 

So that's my problem. How do I create a BSP???????????????

 

I've done the BSP Full Vis thing (Don't have a clue what each BSP option does, but then I'm learning )

 

Please email me the answer at: the_heroic_fusion@hotmail.com

 

thanks in advance.

well what you need is textures and lights.

You don't need to create pk3 files to play your maps. If your map is in the gamedata/base/maps directory, then its ok.

 

Load your map in jk2radiant. Choose the very bottom option in the BSP menu(BSP Fullvis).

 

Check if there's a .bsp file with the same name of your .map file in the gamedata/base/maps.

 

And of course, if your .map file is in another directory, the .bsp file will be created in that directory. (.bsp files are created where your .map files are). In that case your game cant find the .bsp file to load 'cause the game only looks for gamedata/base/maps directory.

 

Find your bsp file and copy that file in to the gamedata/base/maps directory, then your problem should be solved.

Yeah. When you start adding scripts, custom textures and sounds, and such to your map, and when you are distributing it, then make a .pk3.

And one more important point for creating pk3 files when you want to distribute your work is that you need to specify directory names in the .pk3 file.
