SO SIMPLE YET SO IMPORTANT!
Perhaps Ive looked in the wrong place for this info but Thank god I stumbled across this!
I knew it was something simple keeping my map from being "playable". Ive only mapped for CS in the past so Ive never needed to launch a map from console, and never would have thought of it. I had no Idea what to ask for on the forums and couldnt find anything usefull in search terms I thought would help.

If your are trying to start the map through the menus (multiplayer->LAN->Create) it won't find the map because you haven't built a minimap yet. You have to start your map from the console (map mapname) and build the minimap (buildminimap in the console).
Other things, have you got an info_player_start (as opposed to info_deathmatch_start) in your map you need info_player_starts for NS.
Have you checked it's actualy placing the map in your /NS/Maps folder?</b>
A sticky "getting started/how to get a map running properly/testing your map" post wouldve eased my pain a great deal as this info was accidently stumbled upon by searching the word "required"
Cant beleive I never tried to launch my map from console *sheesh*
Guess I figured if it wasnt in the map menu, NS didnt think it was there...
Anyway, this is for all the other X-CSers trying to simply test a friggin room in NS <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Any mappers wanna write up a set up/getting started guide to sticky, for other inept retards (or am I the only one left?)
