Map Listing

[Dimmuborgir]

I'm in the process of making a map, and as I've read from the mapping doc that came with Nexuiz, it [i]should[/i] appear in my local master map list on my Nexuiz client, even if it's just a draft. The document told me that a (mapname).mapinfo file was supposed to be created when a map was played for the first time, yet I cannot find it. I've even tried making it myself and storing it in the same maps folder I have my map in.

Any suggestions as to how to get my map to show up on my maps list? Is there possibly a console command?

Do you have a compiled bsp? I believe it's needed to display the map in the menu.

The autogenerated mapinfo file is in your '/data/data/maps' folder (yes, that's two data's).


Alternatively, to start a map, you can drop the console (shift+esc) and type:

Code:

map mymap

Where mymap is the name of my compiled bsp.

I have a compiled BSP, yes. I'm currently using the command you mentioned to open the map. But, like you said, in my data/data/maps directory, there exists no .mapinfo file (I've compiled the map several times, so it should have been generated long ago).

Well the easiest way to check if the file is there at all is to start Nexuiz, open the ingame console with shift-escape and type [b]ls maps/*.mapinfo[/b] if the file is there its only matter of time to find it on disc.
For example on linux you have the dir structure ~/.nexuiz .. on mac too but its hidden usually. Vista has that virtual store thingy were you are not allowed to write to C:/Program Files and it saves those files someone under C:\users\NAME\ ...
