Title: Could create map - how do I run it? :/ Post by: Tribaal on December 19, 2006, 06:59:32 PM Hi folks.
Stupid question: I have made a test .bsp with Radiant, and now I would like to test it, but unfortunately I cannot find where the hell I'm supposed to stick my bsps so that OA picks them up... I did put it in ~/.openarena/baseoa/maps/test.bsp , but then typing in "/devmap test" in OA's console returns an annoying file not found message... What am I doing wrong? Help please, I really feel stupid :) - trib' Title: Re: Could create map - how do I run it? :/ Post by: fromhell on December 19, 2006, 09:29:43 PM sv_pure 0

/sv_pure 0 /devmap test maps/test.bsp cannot be found :( How frustrating - trib' Title: Re: Could create map - how do I run it? :/ Post by: Ferk on December 20, 2006, 04:15:36 AM I did put it in ~/.openarena/baseoa/maps/test.bsp You should put it in your openarena/baseoa/maps/ folder ("openarena" instead of ".openarena") I mean, the folder in which you installed the game, not the folder where the configuration files were created (~/.openarena) Title: Re: Could create map - how do I run it? :/ Post by: Tribaal on December 20, 2006, 05:16:37 AM OK I finally could access my map:
I had to create a .pk3 archive in my path, with my map in it. So basically it just wouldn't work if it was in a directory, but it works fine inside a .pk3... By the way, it works either in ~/.openarena or in /usr/share/openarena (where the binaries are), as both are in OA's path. You can check what you path is easily by issuing the "/path" command in the OA console. I'm curious however, does this happends to me only, or do all linux users experience this problem? It's pretty weird really. Thanks for your help folks, now I can get back to mapping :) - trib' Title: Re: Could create map - how do I run it? :/ Post by: dmn_clown on December 20, 2006, 01:46:07 PM I have never had that problem, /sv_pure 0 followed with a /devmap craptastic.map has never failed for me with craptastic.map being in my ~/.openarena/baseoa/maps/ directory.
The only problem I've ran across and keep running across is video settings being lost on shutdown. It is either an ioquake3 issue or an nVidia problem because it affects both Q3a and OA but until Debian Etch is released as stable I won't be able to test the latest nVidia drivers to see which. Forcing the renderer to software mode seems to keep the settings saved...
