My map is finnished, no gametypes added yet, so how do I test the map. sp test no problems, total failure on mp play.
I added a dm spawn ?

You'll need TDM spawns and a global intermission. PLus have the map in dir: "mp" and have the defualt scripts and csv for it.

Im having sort of the same problem.......
I have all my spawns and the global intermission.

could you please post the "paths" to the default scripts and csv.
and where do I put them?

Im real rusty here.......LOL

I used castle.gsc to try and understand it,
C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\raw\maps\mp
but as of yet "FAILED"
can someone please make a tutorial.
I have searched WIKI for "your first map" and found nothing,
but then I don't seem to be able to use wiki its like searching for lost treasure, all I find is improve this wiki everywhere
For now I have started on my seconded finnished, but corked map. seems I doomed to wait to learn.
we can't all be pro

Open the launcher.exe and click "create new map" then select "mp" and type a mapname of your choice.

After that click to load Radiant (from the launcher) and in Radiant lick File>Open and open the map you just created.

This should be a defualt map containing all gametypes, and should have the default scripts and CSV.

You can then compile it with:

Bsp
lights
Reflections
Fast File

Once it's done you can test your map. Start the game, select which mod you are using (what mod folder the fast file is stored normally "usermaps"). Then drop the console "¬" and type:

/map mapname

Or you can Run the Map after compile by ticking the box, but this doesn't always work for some people.

well i did what youve just said and the map loads but i spawn in a black world with strange coloured gun. i can throw flares and grenades and shoot etc and move in what seems to be a little room. dont think its my map but i get a few errors in console when the map is loaded. something about vision file is one of them. i have looked in the all the mod folders and i cant see any fast file or iwd files for my map.... do i need to tick that box that says mod specific map when compiling?

made it mod specific to mp_usermaps and now i see a mp_noob.ff and a locolized_mp_noob.ff

i kept giving errors about access is denied so i went and changed it to not read only. now i only get 1 error in the whole of compiling that i can see and that is could not find gsc. do i need a gsc? i will try one and then post back but any help would be appreciated.

Ive done what you've said and my map doesnt load, it tries to,
but all I see is a black screen with team deathmatch and the
map name below it in the lower right corner.........

I left it like that for 20 minutes...........nothing.

I must be missing something here.....

ok i made a gsc and the fx and amb gsc and put them into raw/maps/mp folder but then when loading it said script not found mp_noob_fx.gsc so i went into main gsc and removed the link to the fx and amb gsc and not i can get into the map but still i have black environment and it isnt my map. I now have nationalities and scoreboard though. what is wrong with my map???

also:
when I open task manager is says that codwaw is not
responding............
