Hi guys, my first map is going well but I cant seem to play it from the Compile Tools, it switches to Backlot every time from loading. I have included about 8 - 16 DM, TDM spawns, as well as S&D spawns. Also GlobalIntermission, reflection probes etc..
Don't know if its releavant, but the Fast / Zone File build says its missing a type of 'rawfile', but it is listed in the Zonefile.

I typed:
/developer 1 /developer_script 1 /logfile 2 /devmap mpA1_BetaCDG2
into the 'commandline options' at the bottom of the screen as is suggested, but I dont know where to find (or use) the logfile which i guess this generates.

Also I made a test map before this one and that worked ok, so I think my setup is fine. Any help appreciated, thanks.

What if you start the game, go to Create server, select TDM, then drop down the console and load your map. This way you'll know for sure it loads your map in TDM.
Or add +seta gametype TDM in the command line.

Your problem might be the capital letters. AFAIK, the names are case sensitive (at least for the assets).

The logs are in the /main folder, if logging is active.

Thanks again for Ur help CS. I tried changing the name, and recompiling but no luck. I tried loading from MP - commandline, but it switched to backlot again.
I checked in the main folder for the log, but the only file I could see that looked relevant was 'missingasset.csv' and it simply listed the missingfile from the fastfile build:
rawfile,maps/mp/mp_a1betacsg2.gsc

You said you added the spawn points but did you also add the tdm_start points?

Actualy because of my reading of the tutorial, I thought that it meant only the Allies / Axis 'start', but it also needs the generic spawns. Silly mistake on my part, but thanks for stating the obvious or I wouldn't have figured it out. Thnx for Ur help again guys, all working again :)

That's because of your GSC file.
I supose you picked the one from mp_backlot from the folder:
C:\Program Files\Call of duty 4-Modern warfare\raw\maps\mp
and just changed the name to mp_yourmapname.gsc!

Open mp_yourmapname.gsc and delete some command lines. It should look like that:

main()
{

maps\mp\_load::main();

ambientPlay("ambient_backlot_ext");

game["allies"] = "marines";
game["axis"] = "opfor";
game["attackers"] = "axis";
game["defenders"] = "allies";
game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert";
game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert";

setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );

setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity0",".25");
setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity1",".25");
setdvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3");
setdvar("compassmaxrange","1800");


}



I think it's that.

Also, you don't need to type: /developer 1 or /developer_script 1 into the command line, just check the boxes above the Command Line Options box... That box is for things like spawn time and gametype dvars...

Here is a little tutorial on the "command line options" box in Radiant: Custom Command Line Dvars.

Hope that helps...

Yes, you are missing your main map's .gsc just like jakkasss wrote.

Just because you add something to the zone file it doesn't mean the file was actually added and packed into the FF files, especially if the file doesn't even exist. Like in this case.
