this happens almost every time, I pack up my level in a pk3 and it wont work.:(
can some one give me your email so I can e-mail the pk3 to you so you can help me?

What structure do you create in the PK3? The minimum it should have is a folder called maps with your bsp in it. As in it would be your.pk3/maps/yourmap.map if the pk3 were a directory and not a file.

Also pk3 files are basically zip files so if you can create a zip, then a pk3 is just a .zip with a .pk3 ending.

no no, I know how to do it, it just wont work for some reason.

This may sound stupid but I'm just thinking of all possiblities.... Is the pk3 beeing put in your gamedata/base folder?


Also make sure you are using a correct arena script.

EDIT:

An example arena script:


{
map "oeq_light"
longname "Orbital Equanimity - Bright"
fraglimit 32
type "duel ffa"
}

oeq_light is the bsp, Orbital Equanimity - Bright is the name that shows up in the map list of JA, duel and ffa specify the game types. frglimit really isn't needed but I put it in just in case :p

yeah, I did it all right.
there must be just one little thing I cant find out of place.

-so can someone give me their e-mail?

If it's big, do NOT email it to me, send me a URL to download it from instead, eternus_insilenti[at]hotmail.com

dont worry, its just a small duel map:)

Sent it back fully working, tut tut on that mistake tho :p
