I have a sketch on the map that I want to create, but I don't know how to access my map or starting working on the map. I went to the UGX Script Placer and created the map "nazi_zombie_uprising" using the tutorial map. However, I'm not sure how to generate an image of the map to start designing zones and barriers. I still have the .map files, but I'm not sure how to open them. If anyone knows how to open the files or what program to use to open the .map files, any help would be greatly appreciated. -TH3PR1NC30F3P1C
I'm not sure what Radiant is, but I did use the UGX Script Placer to create the .map file. I just don't how to access a physical copy of the file to work on barriers and zones.
Please tell me this is just a troll and you're not seriously starting to make a map without knowing what Radiant is...please...my faith in this community is low enough as it is...

Open launcher and run it as adminstrator, if you don't have it on your desktop you can find it in.
Code Snippet
Plaintext
C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\bin
Open launcher.exe as adminstrator. Now you should see something in the left upper corner that says, "Radiant".
Click that, and let it load. Then click, file, then click open. Then select your mapname.map and open it.
Edit, Have you clicked that button that says "converter" in launcher? You need to do that first before start to map. Let it convert, it might take a while.
Well that's all well and good telling him that Ege, but wtf is he supposed to do now? Just magically figure out how to make a map? Surely (and I can't be the only one who thinks this?) before you start to make a map you at least do a little research into what goes into it? I mean to not even have heard of Radiant?

Okey okey easy, sorry then.
Well there is so much stuff you can do in radiant that I would need to make a whole topic about it, lol.
No don't get me wrong mate, I'm not having a go at you, you're only trying to be helpful after all It's just it seems a little bit pointless to me explaining how to open a map up in Radiant when he's never even heard of the program, it's like someone asking me to fly a helicopter and going 'here's the keys, off you go!'

No worrys at all. I think I just didn't read the whole OP, I read it as he only wanted to know how to open the map. But yea it is pretty obvious that you need to know how to make the map itself. xD

I'm not a troll. Once again, I'm new to this. I'm sorry for wasting your time, but I'm not a troll. I 'm just a kid that wants to learn how to create custom maps and make new friends. Post Merge: June 06, 2014, 05:36:58 pm

I can't seem to find launcher.exe or the Activision file where ScriptPlacer.exe is located (I looked at SajeOne's video to find Radiant.) but I can't access it. I installed the Script Placer, but I can't find the file. What do I do? ???

Dude installing the script placer isnt going to magically give you everything you need to make a map, the script placer only makes the .map file which then you need to open up in radiant by downloading all the mod tools updates. Follow this tutorial http://ugx-mods.com/wiki/index.php?title=Modtools_Installation_Guide
