Moved here since haxxy boards are closed for the time being.
And it's a good tutorial too. How about adding it to the tutorial list?

[Chu]

It's comprehensive enough to warrant a sticky

[Lemonade]

Just to say... excellent guide- probably the best map-related tutorial hands down. It's complete, easy to read and with the right number of examples. Congratulations !

I suggest using cp_above_v3 as an example of what not to do with pitfalls/killboxes, although I removed some in the comp version (both are also good examples of crampedness).

Sorry for the revival, but im a newb map maker so I got this error:


ERROR in
action number 1
of Mouse Event for Left Pressed
for object Button:

Cannot execute "\Gang Garrison 2.exe"

Any fix?

[Phantom Brave]

Run GB configuration again and select the correct GG2 directory.

[Venomous]

Did that, got this:

___________________________________________
FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object GameServer:

Error: Invalid rotation: doesn't contain any valid maps. Exiting.

What's your map name? Is your background a PNG? Is your GG2 in or in a subdirectory of the folder that GB is in?

(the brackets are part of the name)
koth_extremethirst [PNG]
extremethirst wallmask [PNG]
Wallmask and background are PNG
Didnt know I had to put a GG2 player into GG2 folder, ill do that

[Phantom Brave]

is the filename koth_extremethirst.png or "koth_extremethirst [PNG].png"? The latter might be causing problems for GG2's file reading functions.

Yeah, its koth_extremethirst [PNG].png (fileception), ill rename it.

[Venomous]

Renamed it, still having the same error. I tried to find a GB file to put in a GG2 player, but I could only find the application and not the files for it.

[Phantom Brave]

you need to put the GG2 executable in the same directory as the garrison builder executable.
If that doesn't work, try testing your map with a different version of GB and see if it gives the same error.

[Venomous]

Did both. No avail.

Anyways, it says it has no valid maps in rotation, so I think it may be something with the map. Ive placed med cabinets, 2 team spawns, a cap point and cap zombes, KOTH game mode. [No spawn doors because its a joke map like ctf_itsrainingmen]

[Phantom Brave]

Valid maps are ones with both entity data and a wallmask. Background is implied. Are you compiling the map properly with all parts loaded before testing?

[Venomous]

In order:

Load wallmask
Load BG
Place required entities
Test map
