Hi guys, I've been scratching my head at this one. Got my map done (non crossing sniper map) added in enough tdm spawn points, added in the global intermission, sorted out my iwd file e.t.c. BUT when I load it to play all I get is spectator, cant get any team options. Also my load screen doesnt seem to work.

Here's my iwd file if anyone would kindly take a look and tell me what I'm, doing wrong

Switches iwd

Cheers in advance!

have you checked if you were accidently starting your map in a gametype other than tdm?

You need at least one dm spawn on every map. Also check if you had a mod on a custom map in your main when you compiled. I believe the problem is one of them.

You don't really need a dm spawnpoint (although it'd be nice), but when you go to test your map, you won't get a menu

do this:

/g_gametype tdm

then,

/devmap yourmapname

OR

/map_restart

that'll change the gametype to tdm and then you'll load your map again

={E|S|R}=Switch writes...The name of the material for your loadscreen is incorrect.
The name must be loadscreen_mp_switchessnipe (you named it only mp_switchessnipe).

Ok, thanks to you guys I managed to get it runnign fine on my own mp game.

But when its uploaded to the clan server I get crashed out and everyone else gets this error:

ERROR: image 'images/mp_switchessnipe.iwi' is missing
Error during initialization

thing is that iwi. doesnt exist in the iwd and isnt referenced in any of the files! arrgrghhh!!!



I've recompiled the map, re whatsited the loadscreen iwi through the asset manager to make sure the names right. redone the csv file to make sure it points to the right thing. But still they get that error. Am at my wits end trying to solve this.

Here's the latest IWD. Switches latest IWD

again thanks for help in advance!

I tested the map and it was ok on my side...

Bodyguard, yeah I can do that will have a go in a while so its easier for people to check.

Capt.com. Same here, I can get it running fine when I open up my multiplayer, start new server e.t.c. the problem happens when my clan stick it on the match / test server. There's 4 or 5 of us who test new maps to see if they're any good, we tried mine and all they get is that error, I get a small download (I'm assuming its something to do with the mp_switchessnipe.iwi) and then my game crashes cos I already have the map in my main folder.

Thing is that as old man with gun pointed out my loadscreen file was named wrong as mp_switchessnipe, so I re-made the iwi as loadscreen_mp_switchessnipe.iwi, stuck that in the images file, made sure the csv was still correct e.t.c. so why its still trying to find the old mp_switchessnipe.iwi when its uploaded to a server is a mystery.

Cheers for your help so far guys

ok guys here are the csv's and the gsc file:

maps/mp/mp_switchessnipe.csv

maps/mp/mp_switchessnipe.gsc

mp/mp_switchessnipe.arena

soundaliases/mp_switchessnipe.csv (doubt if you'll need this one but its here anyway)

Cheers again!
