Testing the maps ongame...

[Latino210]

Hello!

I finished my first map, compiled it, now I am having troubles testing it ongame. So, I unzip the 0ufo.pk3 file, I add the

Code: [Select]

mapdef Alley1
{
map "mastermap2"
description "_Your map description"
teams 2
multiplayer false
maxaliens 8
aircraft
{
}

ufos
{
//any
}

terrains
{
//any
}

cultures
{
//any
}

populations
{
//any
}
}
to the maps.ufo file, I still cannot load the map with the skirmish tool...

The mapdef looks correct. What does this mean?

Do you see the map appear as an option in the skirmish menu?

No, the map is not appearing.

Attach your maps.ufo file.

done. I compressed it with .zip to attach it!

Seems corrupted on my end. You should be editing the .ufo file in a raw text editor, like Notepad or Notepad++. Otherwise it could cause problems.

Try copying your map definition (only the bit for your map) into a text file in Notepad, then saving the file as testmap.ufo. Put that file into /base/ufos/ and see if it works then.

You also could attach your .map file here, so we could have a look at it.
