Yeah, it's an emoticon...  I knew it was going to happen, I should have told him to ignore it last night when I saw it...

[UDead]

i found out what my problem was...i didnt put a pic (jpf) file in my textuer folder under Paintball2\pball\textures\pball folder...lol...

[UDead]

how do u put a sound on your map....like i have a door and is a secret door...i want the "secret.wav" to play when the door is open...how do i do that

[Eiii]

Target_speaker. Read the help file on the entity, and don't be afraid to browse through the entity list and just check out random ents.

[UDead]

i have tried that already...didn't work....

[Eiii]

Yes it does. Read the documentation and look online for some tutorials. It works, you're just doing it wrong.

[UDead]

Can someone play my map and tell me what they think....theres supost to be a secret area...if so try to find if.....the map should be in a zip file with the additional textures files with it...

Your map has a leak. Try the leak check and follow the yellow line to the hole in your map.

[thebend]

hmmm i did that and nothing happened. ill attach it.......could you tell me what you think.

[Chef-Killer]

I think you should add a player spawn (info_player_deathmatch)

Try to do this, step by step.
