We'll simply focus around CST(My time :P). There are converters all over the web, and you can even do it in your head. :O

Wondering if there is going to be a certain way to post beta maps . Or, do we continue on with agmma's thread " finally finished" ?

[esteel]

In the official Nexuiz forum there is a subforum to post maps to get them judged by players.. maybe the ninjaz can do something similar. Just make sure when you post maps that they are beta?

Grasshopper: For now, do a separate topic for every beta map and just label it with [Map]. Later, a sub forum might be used

MAP LEAKED

You have a map leak . Y ou should have a red line starting within your map from an entity , to an area of your map not sealed correctly . what this means is your map is open to the void . You must seal off your map from the grey area of space . here is an example

You see that corner isnt sealed correctly . The BSP. process found this error and outlined it for me with the red line . So all i have to do is make my edges touch . Hope this helps . happy mapping

Yey thx grasshopper it finally worked.

I finally made my first CTF map.[hr]In the forum of how to start mapping like a ninja they talk about a entities.def file i dont have that, so i cant change the color of my map.
