im working on mp_xi_de_dust been having lots of issues for first map but little by little i been knocking them down

 

  1. i added some spikes in a room  and added a light above it but the spikes still come out dark (do i have to add lighting grid or something in that room)
  2. i tried running the map from the usermaps folder and game just crashes cause loadscreen iwd  but i got the load screen to display so this one is driving me nuts

Hi m8 nice looking map, not sure about the load screen may be a file in the wrong folder ? but you could try upping the radius to 350 + in the spike room or adding  another light in there too, maybe with a wall light model ?

did you make an .iwd for your map and place it in the map folder? Did you also add your mapname_load.ff file to the map folder ?. For the lighting issue have you added your light grid to your map ? It would add some ambient light to your darked areas. You can also add more lights to that room.

I tried upping the light to 500 and nothing I think the light grid doesn't cover the room. I have the light grid in the center of sky box covers the whole Center but map lights up good. I'll try to lower the grid a bit to cover the room and report back.

 

As for iwd I did make it with images folder inside. And placed it in user maps folder and mod/custommaps folder

Not sure if this helps or if there's a different  but which way did you make your cylinders ?

patch / primitives / cylinders  or  physics / primitives /  cylinders, maybe try using the other way you made them and see if that works ?
