Need help with radar overview

[lodTheWeedMan]

Hey All

Ive completed my first Css map but I cant seem to create an overview. Is there any experienced mappers out there that can come to my rescue?

Im trying to pack everything into a single bsp using packbsp but when i play the map the radar doesnt show my overview. My overview also seems to be all over the place.

Could someone drop me a msg with there email and I can send my map to you. Basically all i need is this overview, radar done and put into 1 file so i get my map out there.

Note that PackBSP only needs to be used after everything is working fine on your computer. Packing your files matters when you start sending your map to other people.

My overview also seems to be all over the place.

Did you put the right values in the TXT file?

As in this example from a different guide (http://www.fpsbanana.com/tuts/1948).

"(your mapname)"
{
"material" "overviews/(your mapname)" // texture file
"pos_x" "-2651" // X coordinate,
"pos_y" "4027" // Y coordinate,
"scale" "6.0" // scale used when taking the screenshot
"rotate" "0" // set to 1, if the map was rotated by 90 degress in image editor
"zoom" "1.3" // optimal zoom factor if map is shown in full size
}
