help please

i just started using radiant, and have come up with a little jump map and having problems getting it compiled. i know how to compile it but its not making the bsp file, so can someone tell me what to check, and where do u look for errors?
also, how do you determine where the player is looking when they join a map? i made sort of test map first and when the map loaded you could see under the map and the text was all funny

oh and i'm using coduomaker

I had the same problem, but then drof was kind enough to check out the map for me. Make sure you have spawn points set, and have a correct skybox set up.

yeah i got the spawn points setup, and i think i did the skybox right. dont know what worldspawn does or if i need it, the other map i'm making works, don't know what i've done differently

i'll catch you on Xfire on something soon, or post more details (I'm too tired to post reasons for not compiling atm, so speak soon )

[Luke]

its ok now m8, grom looked at it and he deleted a couple of brushes (which i didnt really need) which seemed to fix it i'm working on 2 new maps, i'll let u know when they're done

Saves me some typing

Good Luck on maps....
