Issue with Packaging a Map

[MEzlOck]

Hello,

First time mapper here.

 

I'm having a bit of an issue with packaging my map. I followed the guide http://wiki.thedarkm...ck_your_Mission but to no avail. I'm able to get the darkmod.txt and startingmap.txt to work, and it'll display the dark mod logo, though after that I get a parchment display with no text except for the options "back" and "objectives". If I click objectives the screen goes black but audio keeps playing. That's it.

 

So I'm wondering if there is something crucial that I'm not including, the xdata folder perhaps? Or is there possibly another resource that may go into more depth in terms of packaging a finished map? A video tutorial?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

is the map name in the starting map text file, just the name of the map minus the extension, if the map is called mymap.proc is the name in the starting map called mymap, plus I think you are missing the loading screen guis file.

Also, make sure that you've packaged the file as a .zip and not as a .rar.

I also had that problem from not having the proper subfolder in my PK4, although I don't recall the exact specifics now. I'd successfully packaged a mission previously too, so went off looking for fixes in all the wrong places before finally realizing my error.

Thanks guys, I got it working now.

 

There could have been any number of things that I fixed. There was one file that had uppercase lettering, so that may have been it. Also, \maps somehow didn't end up in the root, so that could have been it. On top of that I was missing a few files, like the guis, so there's that to consider as well.

 

Regardless, thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. All is well now.
