How many levels in the elevators? How advanced do you want the elevator?

For teleporters, make a misc_teleporter and a misc_teleporter_dest. Set the targetname of misc_teleporter_dest to something (i.e. "teleporter1"), and set the target of misc_teleporter to that something (i.e. "teleporter1").

func_plat will do the first part of you ask. Targeting it might make it go back up, but I'm not sure.

This might help you out a bit. Its my first map. Be ye warned, it sucks. But it uses teleports, LOTS of teleports.

Signs? What kind, or rather, what do you mean?

Maybe you should get the basics down before jumping all over teleporters and elevators.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #10 on:** October 22, 2007, 08:36:44 PM »

"jail" "1"

Thats set for the info_player_deathmatch entity.

UDead · « **Reply #11 on:** October 23, 2007, 04:33:35 AM »

is that all i do...is jet jail into the info_player_deathmatch entity??? i have an area for a jail...but how do i get people to go there when they are killed...im not that good at mapping sometimes...so could u step by step it for me...plz???

The info_player_deathmatch entities is where people spawn from, so if you make a separate part of the map with new brushes and add a new info_player_deathmatch, and add a key name it "jail" and set it's value to "1" then place the info_player_deathmatch in the new brushes, a tuh-duh you have a jail.

It not working

....I get esely confused and i hate when people think they are all that and tell people off...so can u just step by step it please...

also..if anyone wants to see what im doing here is a copy of my map....

It's not working because you have 'gamemode' set to 1. That's DM. There aren't any jails in DM, only in gametypes where players are eliminated.

Other things:
Don't capitalize your map names. It screws up our linux friends (and servers)
I don't know why you have so many light entities floating around, but know that most light should come from a brush with a light texture. Things look much better that way.
Don't put any info_player_starts on your map. Players should spawn at info_player_deathmatches.
Starting everyone out with autocockers may be fun, but it doesn't make for very interesting gameplay. I'd suggest you start them out with something lower.

You can't. You can, however, recommend the maximum and minimum number of players.

Eiii · « **Reply #17 on:** October 24, 2007, 06:20:24 PM »

By 'you can't', sk89q means that they're server-side settings. That's another matter entirely.

But, as he said, you can make recommendations by creating a mapinfo file along with your map, when it's released.

how do u create a sign texture???....i tryed using wally that i found but i cant get it right....i want to turn a pic firle (jpg, gif...etc...) and i dont know how...can some one do if for me if i give them the pic?

please

Eiii · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2007, 04:36:00 PM »

You don't even need a WAL file to make a texture- you really only have to copy another one and rename it. It won't look right in BSP, but in-game it'll use the JPG instead, and look fine.

Just make sure your texture is a power of 2. :3
