To make a sky, go to the entities window, and press the "+", in the Format type in "sky" and then in the value box, type in "pbsky2" Thats for a basic sunny sky.

Save ur map and then go to "Export" and "Final compile". When it is done, u have the bsp file. Sometimes it needs a few more minutes or hours.

I done this but when i press final compatible there comes: cant find maps/inprogress/mymap.bsp

Here is a screenshot:

I dont know too how i can put in teams and the matchart like deathmatch.

Do u edited the files (see the readme file)?

Why u removed the mapname? Everybody can see the name is something like "Henimap".

For quick testing use qbsp.bat, when testing lights qbspfastvisrad.bat and when you're going to release beta/whatever then use finalcompile.
Easiest way to make sky is to use one of the sky textures and then do what Kyuuchi said.
And the blue box is the box where you can edit your groups. Learn to use it and it'll make your mapping a lot easier

In the entities window, (the one that appears and disappears if you repeatedly press E), inside the dropdown menu, find info_player_deathmatch. Then, click "Make Entity". Position the newly appeared box where you want your spawn point, and you're done.

That inprogress thing is an issue that took me a while to figure out. Open up My Computer and go to the Paintball2 directory where you installed it, then go thru these folders: Paintball2/pball/maps. Once you are there, locate the inprogress file or whatever it actually is, delete it, and make a new folder called inprogress. Export your map and you should be able to play it.

You have to keep your map inside those purple lines. <deleted insults here>

Do some grammar edits. Not going to read your second post. <more insults were here>

Edit 1: removed insults
Edit 2:Read the tutorials before asking any further questions.
Edit 3:Do not make a shazam remake.
Edit 4:Delete BSP

musickid999 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 13, 2009, 12:43:26 PM »

Make sure all your brushes are INSIDE the purple/pink box in BSP. Also, make sure you don't have a leak.
Sometimes, you will need to export twice in order for the compiling to work. If you haven't added any lighting, but would like to test your map, do a qbsp.bat compile.

Seriously, if you insist on posting your comments, don't discourage him from mapping. You're doing the exact OPPOSITE of what xmapcom is doing, and thats demoting the mapping aspect of PB. If people like you kept on insulting and turning people away from mapping, you'll be stuck with maps like Shazam33, etc forever, because there will simply be no one willing to map.

blaa is just a little man with a lot of anger, you learn to ignore him fairly quickly.

bLiNdThInG · « **Reply #16 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:46:06 AM »

Yeh I have given up in listening to blaa (first time i spoke to him i was insulted so i dont bother any more ). but thx anyways guys thats reli useful - ps i'm still goin to remake shazam because it still could be made even better, if you have any suggestions for the map pls feel free to email me at superleighton@live.co.uk and i will try and fit your ideas into the map. thx

bLiNdThInG · « **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2009, 10:01:29 AM »

OH and because i am remaking an old map do i need permission because i am starting from scratch. ?

_burnt · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2009, 10:23:44 AM »

Please don't remake shazam's. 3 is enough, make some unique master piece, you will be a lot better mapper and the map will propably be more played.

bLiNdThInG · « **Reply #19 on:** September 14, 2009, 10:29:49 AM »

but jeejee its not reli a remake its just based on shazam - its got two bridges for starters. i love shazam but feel it not complete somehow so i wanted to do my own version. i dont know how tis goin to look at the moment because im nott reli sure and i'm looking for ideas for other players. i have already made about twenty maps aND shown my most recent one to dannie who liked it but it wasnt great but the idea is there. i have another idea for a map and have even drawn it out but i hav always wanted to remake shazam... and im sry but im goin to, danniie suggested some gud ideas to me but i need some more. thx
