getting my map from LAN to internet tab Created 19 years ago2005-02-05 23:37:01 UTC by trepidation

this is so frustrating. i have my map saved to the correct file, i compile my map, ran it to play in cs:source, and i can't get it to show in the internet tab. i've tried sv_lan command in console, ive tried map (mapname), and still doesn't show in internet. here's my compile log...see anything strange that would prevent it from loading....and....do i actally have to put a cubemap entity in my map, or is running buildcubemaps in console enough? anyway...here's my compile log......

HELP!....btw that's not actually the directory i was loading my game from....it's just the location i use for quicksaving. thanks...Trepidation

wait, wait, wait, why did you post this in both catagories of forum. and why in maps and mods did you press the button 3 times without letting your browser load+refresh, hence the three entrys there. and you don't have to say plz, or please, or any other term for plese, were here to answer your questions anyway.

now to solve the problem.

it seems as if its writing to the wrong directory. the e:/ thing threw me off at first since most harddrives use C. then i noticed that everything was in e:, so you must have multiple HDs or somthing. but anyway, it also looked as if it was saving the BSP to the SDK folder and not the CS:S maps folder, you might want to check your complie settings. and theres also the isuee of the 2 errors at the end of the bsp compile log, you might want to find out whats causing those.

oh and for the cubemaps issue, you need to have cubemaps in your map, buildcubemaps jsut looks at the cubemaps in your level that you put them and does all the calculations for them

ok i changed the map directory to the cs maps folder....two questions though
im not sure what the 2 errors near the end are...the mem pool errors...and how to fix them?
also, i've read quite a few forums on cubemaps..but still a little confused because they all say the same thing. do i need to add a env_cubemap outside my block map away from everything else?....like you see on some maps in source...the small version of the map? thanks....trepidation

also....the entity info_player_deathmatch
to play this map in cs:source, do i need that entity or is info_player_start enough?

the mem pool i dont really know what it is, i meant you should look into it. but im guessing that it has something to do with your ram.

and if CS:S is anything like normal CS then info_player_deathmatch are Terrorist spawns, and info_player_start are the CTs spawns.

and you only need cubemaps in detailed areas usually, but it is usually a good idea to have one in your map anyway.

any other reasons my map might not be showing up in the internet tab that you can think of? maybe a command when i run map...-dev -console
+sv_lan 0???

i guess i can't host my own game...so, I need to request my map uploaded on someone elses server to run. I've posted the map with 4 screenshots at
http://csm2.net, but that was 2 or 3 days ago, haven't gotten an email reply. anyone reading this have a server, or know someone that may be interested in running any custom maps? would like to know. have been so excited to get this map on-line. thanks....trepidation

I think it has nothing to do with the map. You're probably on a router, so you need to port forward. Go search Google for it, because I have no idea how to port forward.

i think instead of dealing with that,...i can't find the ports closed off in firewall for my server, so I'm just going to try and get someone with a server to download this map to post. hopefully there's someone out there. hehe. I jump around maps too much on cs:source to know anyone really, especially admins/hosts. thanks....trepidation
