I did exactly what foyleman did in the tutorial (thanks by the way, am a newb) but when I run the game it loads MP_backlot not my MP_test2. What am I doing wrong? Any and all help would be appreciated. P.S. I saw some of the angry stickies from people who like not give advice more than once so I hope this wasn't asked before. I did not see it in sticky. edited on May. 31, 2008 09:07 pm by xlr8r3

Type /sv_maprotation map mp_test2 If that doesn't work type /sv_maproation mp_test2 I am not sure about putting map before it, haven't mapped in quite some time. Good Luck!

PS: Make sure you have all the multiplayer needs in your map, if not it will also switch to backlot. Double-Check here.

Did you click run selected map in the compiler?

Yes. I compiled BSP then Reflections then built a fast file then I clicked run selected map, just as he did in the video.

Make sure your map compiled correctly... post your compile log if you're not sure. The fact that mp_backlot started means the engine can't load your map, either because it has not been compiled, or because it has been compiled incorrectly (missing MP stuff for instance). How to get your compile log: Right click the black window. Select all. Press enter. You can now paste it in a text file or post it here.
