I've made my map entirely, compiled. but how can I test it? i've tried the file> run map thingy, but it just took me to the main menu. I tried to start a new server... but it wouldn't let me start it=P

Any help? I can provide more detail if necessary. Thx

is your map named:

my map
my_map

because for me it doesn't work without the _ instead of blank spots

There is probably something wrong with your map.

A couple of times when I've made a few map changes and tested a map it wont work. So i had to revert the changes.

Actually I put the name of my map as Big Block, I'll Try putting in an underscore.

one more thing, do I have to have the cp_ or CTF_ in the name?

You don't have to have it. Maps will run without it. And I have even seen some maps that don't have it for their release version. However, its one of those nice things for players, so they can know what type of map they are going to play.
