ARENA FILES:
You need to add the following, into your .IWD folder.
Folder called mp
in mp create a text file named the same as your map. (i.e mp_testmap.txt)
Add the following:
map: the name of your bsp file (i.e mp_testmap)
longname: the preferred name (i.e The map name that shows in the list and loading the map)
gametype: the available spawns you have in your map / gametypes
-
then save_as the file "mp_testmap.arena"
So basically now you have a folder called mp, with a file called mp_testmap.arena..
..add them to a new .iwd file. (winRAR, right click the mp folder, and click add to archive. Select .ZIP, then rename the output file to mp_testmap.iwd)
Place the .iwd file in with your .ff files.. (i.e the fs_game folder)
