Mapping is not dead yet

Move your camera around (press right mouse button to activate it). You can either move with your arrows and mouse or you can scroll mouse wheel.

i know i'm annoying^^

i would have 2 questions:

#1
i have finished my first map i think, i have saved it in the default folder and can open it again. but when i look for the map on the pc it doesn't exist. neither in the gtk folder, nor in the et folder. where is the map? how can i test this?

#2
when i open my map in gtk again the textures suddenly disappeared. what did i do wrong?

I had the same issue as you, as far as I remember you must disable 'only administrator' rights to access the folder. You can also save your map on desktop and have it there for the time you're bulding it.

About textures, did you have a clean install of ET before starting your GTK projects? If not, then all of the images from other maps doesn't have the right path, meaning ET cannot show them and are therefore missing.

Do you have any tutorials to help you? Go to ET Mapping Bible and check out some of the tutorial, you will find a lot of useful tips. I am on the phone currently, so i cannot provide you any screenshots or links.

Good luck and send us some preview of the map. :P

I recommend you to set up the mapping system like that:
- Choose a partition which is NOT C: It can be E:/D: or whatever you have (this is a good start, because you don't need to set admin stuff etc.)
- Use GTK Radiant 1.6 (or above) - this version has tons of useful plugins and settings for texture/shader configuration.
- Use a clean isntall of ET with the standard vanilla setup - but installing omnibot mod is highly recommend, because you can test the map and add waypoints at the same time.
