Before I finish my map I need to:

BSPZIP and delete all cubemaps
BSPZIP add custom sounds/textures
Then buildcubemaps as stated here: http://wiki.thinkingwithportals.com/wik ... hing_A_Map

That guide is pretty dumb and wastes a lot of time. This is the easiest way:

  1. Put your map in the top level /maps/ folder
  2. Open the game and the map. Make sure mat_hdr_level is set to 2
  3. buildcubemaps
  4. mat_hdr_level 0
  5. buildcubemaps
  6. mat_hdr_level 2
  7. Quit game them BSPZIP your custom textures/sounds in
  8. Move map into your sub-directory, create .bns, etc.
  9. Remove all custom sounds/textures from your game directory and open the map as you would if you were going to play it. Make sure all textures work and cubemaps work.
  10. Package up the map and be sure to include the file for your map from the /maps/graphs/ folder.

Buildcubemaps is a rendering. Not calculations.

If you're not going to bother contributing then don't shit up the board. Getting tired of saying this to you.

Is any of this a question or are you just telling us what you're doing?

Pretty sure you never said that to me and I wouldn't consider my post being "shit" as I corrected the Wiki and told him what he should do. Also, stop sending me god damn TF2 invites...if I want to play, I'll play.

Oh okay. That makes sense.
