map creator...

[Eiii]

ah...another question....
anyway, whenever i "try" to use a map editor, it says "ERROR!" or something, and won't run...how?

[oddjob]

isnt there a tutorial on this page?

Not really helpful error you got there.. You need to tell us what program your using , along with which version of DP your using.. and exactly what the error says. From what I can tell your using outlook express to make a map =]

i'm using the BSP one...the one that's "The editor of choice for "professional" Quake2 mappers"...and when i try to set it up, there are some folders and files it wants that dont exist and i don't know where they are...
if anyone could help me out here it would be great.

I believe there is a digital paint map making kit on the files page...with ents and stuff

Huh? Wha? Isn't that the way to do it?

Seriously though, eiii... You might want to come by IRC, #Paintball, and ask, or msg me on ICQ, 12346707. I'd be happy to help you set up BSP (it's an issue of editing a text file and modifying some directory names). It would take a conversation, so I can't really help you over the bboard.

There's a readme file included in the bsp_b5 zip.  You need to have the old version of paintball2 installed, though -- the one that goes in the quake2 directory and has .wal textures.

k, got the "better" one...it was easier to set up. but it still can't find textures.  
is there a tutorial anywhere???

Not sure if the tutorial on how to setup the textures is in that file , but it is in the bsp file on the DP site.. so just download that file for the tutorial on how to set it up itll work for the one on sads server.
