Map not showing up

right i have this map (bigroom) test, i am n00b! and i can play it by in console: map bigroom

but it don't show on the list , please elp, thanks guys and gals? If there is any!

HOW FUNNY:

You probably need to place an info_player_deathmatch in the map. That will flag it as a multiplayer map and you'll be able to play it as such, and it will show up in the "list" (I think that's what you're talking about).

Depends on what mod, actually (the player entity it searches for is defined in the liblist.gam file - DoD will search for info_player_allies, etc.) Might be wrong about this though. But your solution is to probably put an info_player_deathmatch in your map.

Side note: With the advent of Steam, there's been some new functionality added. Type: maps * into the console and it'll display all the .bsp names in \maps\. At least, I think this is new functionality exclusive to Steam... I wasn't aware of it before.

It existed before. I stumbled upon it when I was randomly typing stuff in to try and make it list stuff. You can also type "maps" and a word to narrow your search down. ex. maps para_ or maps dod_ and it'll search for the files with those prefixes only.

If its for HLDM, you need a single info_player_start entity anywhere in the map. After that, you need at least 1 info_player_deathmatch. These entities are the player spawn points.

In Counter-Strike, info_player_start is the CT spawn, info_player_deathmatch is the T spawn.

Other mods will have their own entities for start points as well.

Well also depending on what mod you may need a entity like info_tf_detect or info_nuke, also make sure you read over the log to see if it compiled right, or you can copy and paste it into here and we maybe be able ot help.

so after you've put one of each in, which spawn do you put more of into your map to have more players in it??? I'm making a HLDM map, i've never made one before.

Yes ... after dying, you would all spawn on the same place again ... which is not fun :razz:

deathmatches.

the starts are the position you view the map from while you select team/class etc, before you join the game.
