Hello,

Pls find below the template you need to create a map thread.
This is what we have choosen kid and me as template.

mapname is the name you use to execute the map
X.X is the current version of the map
DD/MM/YYYY is the date of the release

Structure of the pk3 file should be like that :

Quote:

- levelshots (place here the image that is loaded with map and give it as name mapname)
- maps (place here the .bsp file and the bot file .aas, both have as name mapname)
- scripts (place here .shaders files)
- textures (place here textures files)
