I compile, everything goes fine. Click run map, COD4 opens fine but it just sits there and doesn't open anything?

Pls help, this is my last flaw before I can actually get mapping

So what your saying is that you havent yet started with your map? In that case you dont need the compile tools yet you have to do that with radiant.

i believe he means he made some lame like aim map or something, just to see whats capable and wants to see how the whole process works.

you need a few things in the map
worldspawn (search forums for this)
a tdm spawn
a tdm_Allies start
a tdm_Axis start
a global intermission
all of these are done by right clicking grid and going to mp->
not sure it Requires, but helps; a dm spawn too

your map needs to be entirely closed off from the "void"
just, make a really big cube brush and click hollow on the toolbar on top, (square with dotted lines in it)
everything must be inside this.


1. your maps name needs to begin with mp_
mp_fred or mp_whatever


2. you must have a .gsc file

copy and paste the following in a .txt file (new notepad file)

main()
{
maps\mp\_load::main();


ambientPlay("ambient_crash");

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

setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );

setdvar("compassmaxrange","1600");

}

and save it as: mp_yourmap'sname.gsc
this file must be saved to cod4/raw/maps/mp


3. (Semi- optional)
its not absolutely required.
but your map will be all tinted red if you do not
put a reflection probe in it. right click the grid -> rfelection probe.

it cant be inside any object, and putting one in each room or each walled or obscurred area is ideal.


4. run compiles 1 , 2 (if you added reflection probe only) 3.
4. (copy and paste everything on left to the right)
then run 3 again. then 5 finally.

you might need to exit cod4 , and redo 4. then 3. then 5. FINALLY!

Alright I did that named it the same name but with .gsc extension, I have all my tdm dm spawns and they're all inside my skybox with no leaks but the map still wont flicking open, this is really pee-peeing me off

Bump?
