or if anything is outside of your skybox, like if you look on the minimap and the circle that goes around one of your lights is outside there :)

You'll need to use the clipper tool and shape the brushes to form the letters. Drofder made a prefab found in the tutorial section, DL here: http://www.team-apex.co.uk/files/vCoD_L ... rofder.zip which you might find helpful to see how he made those, or even use them if they're suitable for your map. You should definately learn to use the clipper tool if you haven't already done so though :wink:

when you create the pk3 you need the mp folder containing the bsp file placed in the maps folder. Check other pk3 files to see how it should be.

hmm so i used to just turn the bsp into thepk3 with winrar.. so i turn the whole mp folder into a pk3?

Yeah zip or rar all the folders for the map, then change the extension to .pk3...you should have a minimum of 2 folders in the pk3, maps and mp. the maps folder should have a subfolder inside it called mp, which is where the bsp goes and any gsc files if u got any. The mp folder thats by itself should contain the .arena file. Like i said open up a pk3 file of some other map in your main folder to see for yourself, you can open a pk3 with winrar.
