Best map flow/ way to test maps

Postby fr33dom » Mar 4th, '17, 2:32 am

Hey guys, so I finished my first, albeit very small map - https://ws.q3df.org/map/bluetunnel/
I had some problems in making and finalizing though wondering if others could share how they do it. When I built the map and then created the .pk3, that pk3 wouldn't load in game, even with a correct .defi file.
The work around was I created a pk3 and then put the .bsp file in maps folder and did scripts etc.. This is why I wasn't able to get lighting to work for some reason.
This approach was pretty long winded, I was thinking there must be a way to build in netradiant, run a test in game then when happy make a .pk3 that works but it doesn't seem that easy..
Any help appreciated.

radiant->file->save as->defrag/maps/
build
then you can test it via devmap yourmapname in console

radiant->build->make .pk3
to make pk3; console tells, where it's saved

How can I force it to be cpm mode when I test? Also that make .pk3 doesn't seem to work for me, when I click fight nothing happens :/

This is not enough informative to resolve; Check out what radiant's and game's consoles tell
