playing custom maps

[dodgymanc]

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*

sounds like ur doign the right thing m8. maybe u can email it to me to see if i can see a mistake?




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
