Ok, so it's not done yet, it's just a lay-out....But that's where you come in! If you have any suggestions as to what should be in it, or even it's name, let me know....or do it yourself and send it too me (yes, you get credit for it, lol)! Anyway, this is only the 2nd attempt to mapping for CS, so don't expect anything extrodinary. If you like what you see, then let me know!

Ok, I guess there was a problem with the models, so I fixed that, should work now

Oh, and it's not done yet, so if you have any suggestions or comments on what you think I should do to finish it, just let me know

Ok, I'm a noob at maps, but I've made my first one, and I don't think it's that bad for my first one, but I'm sure you guys will find something to frown apon, which is ok. If you don't like, just let me know, I'm not a little girl, I won't cry to mommy, just be nice about it though, or we'll have to fight....J/K, anyway, it's kinda like an underground bunker, where the cts have to rescue the hostages and junk, you know how it goes. Anyway, it's here at http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=3933 I don't have a screenshot of it, but I have all the files with it. Have fun and let me know how much I suck, lol. Thanks.

Thanks for the help!

I think that may have been the problem. There was some WADs that I thought I send over, but they didn't go.

OK, I was looking through the fourms and didn't see anything to help me. I made my first map (still not 100% done, but it is playable), and when I compile it and put it all in the right place, it works. It's for Condition Zero. If I go to New Multiplayer Game on the main menu of CZ, it'll load up just fine, no problems at all. Now, when I go to put it on my server where I put all the other maps I've downloaded, and then try to switch maps to it, it freezes the server, then the server auto-restarts. Did I do something wrong and I'm an idiot, or is there a problems somewhere?

Yeah, everything is in the correct place. Everything is working ok now, and I didn't even do anything to fix it, I don't know if it was just CZ being weird, or it if fixed itself, but everything is ok now.

Ok, I'm having a bit of a problem. I just started a map, and just have one room done (not fully, but enough to test). So, I try to compile the map, and everything seems fine, then I go to run the game, and I get an error: WARNING: could not open zeditor.wad. I have the map in the the right folder, and I created a map before that worked. I used everything that I used in that map, but for some reason, this one won't work.
