<div class="IPBDescription">teams ,spawns etc.</div> I read the FAQ but is says that I need the entity : info_team_start ,but i dont hace that one .. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> I dont know why but its strange ..

im a/was mapper for cs ( most of you i think were )

well , i dont think there is enough info here on how to map.... example :

1. how do i get the : Join marines / aliens signs in the air ...
2. how do i get a Hive / Command Console on the start of each team ...
3. I see that the NS Specific Entities are:
team_command
team_hive
info_player_start
info_team_join
info_gameplay
info_team_start
func_seethrough
info_mapinfo
info_spectate
info_team_autoassign
info_location
env_custom_particles
env_gamma
trigger_random
target_mp3audio

But WT* do they do <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> we arent psycich u know <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

u should place these things on a sticky Topic on the Forum ,not in the middle of nowhere site : guidelines , there is info on how to place brushes ,well i think most of us know that .....

dont get mad because of my somewhat noobystyle post ( im dutch <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ) i just want to help because i think more poeple want to map.........

This is probably dated material, but you can always check out the Quickstart mapping guide <a href='http://www.planethalflife.com/nsworld/MappingGuide/MappingGuide.ASP' target='_blank'>here.</a> Hope that helps.

Might have it at <a href='http://ns.valve-erc.com' target='_blank'>http://ns.valve-erc.com</a> also. (In the pinned posts of course) <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

In case you hadn't figured it out the team join signs are seperate func_illusionary entities. The hives are placed using team hive entities and the command console is a team_command entitiy. Most of this is in the guidelines that can be reached from the FAQ thread pinned at the top of this forum.

[edit]
The spawn points for the teams are info_team_start (point entities)
READ THE QUICKSTART GUIDE it's the fastest, smoothest way to start making maps for NS.
[/edit]

Thanks for the mention Rhoads, the quickstart guide is very much alive and up to date <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

If anyone has up to date information on particle system editing, please let me know so I can update that section.
