playing custom maps
 

I've made a map using the map editor thing, but i cant see it in the game. Ive set it as a deathmatch map, and its not in the multiplayer deathmatch map selection. I wonder if ive put it in the wrong folder, as i had to d/load the editor update (I have XP Pro). The sample map doesnt show up either, but its in the main game folder. Any idea? Thanks :)

Oh, and also ive enabled the "Destroyable Buildings" option in multiplayer but the watchtowers and stuff dont get destroyed...am i just not shooting them enough?




*SB edit: moved to Map Editing, game is DFLW*

with the destroyable buildings - some (most) cannot be destroyed, test out a few satchel charges on the armory ;)

ok got ur map.
looks ok to me so i can think of one thing: did u export the map aswell?

File > Export > 'firstmap'

this will add a .bms file in ur DFLW folder. this is the file that the game reads - not the .mis file.


also i noticed u set colour to 'Alpha'
this will make the game not render textures and everything will be invisible! plz choose one of the other options m8 :gj:

Cheers mate, its workin and all :) All i gotta do now is work out how to play good maps...

:gj:
