PLEASE Help a n00b out!

Post by Scotteh »

Ok, after playing DB for a few months now, I decided it would be cool if I could make a map for the game that I loved. The only problem was I never have mapped before and so I had to learn from scratch.:( I've been working on a map now for a couple of days and decided to test it out. The problem though is, it comes up as a deathmatch style map with the guns and all. I've read the DB mapping guide and followed the whole thing through. I've added the xBombSpawn for the ball, but no ball shows up. I've also put in all the DB_Volume's for the penalty zone, goal zone, keeper zone...etc, and they don't show up either. I know I'm probably missing some dumb thing so please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here. :)

its in the level properties there should be a blank that says "xDM-xDeathmatch" or sumthin like that... change it to "DB" instead of "DM" and "Deathball" instead of "Deathmatch" or you can just save the map as DB-___________.

The ball has to be placed in the map in the ball spawn zone, it will just respawn there if it gets hit out of bounds or reset someway.

As for the DB volumes i have no idea. those should work. Make sure you set the properties of them properly.

Heh, I knew it was something dumb like that. Anyways it works now but theres still a few things I need to do before releasing the map. Thx Surge for the quick reply.
