Don't release your first map.

OK.. don't know what he's talking about.. try out: www.JediOutcastMaps.com very good map site! =) also in your pk3 you should do a search here on pk3 to show you what you need.. you will need a levelshots folder map folder, textures folder etc.. pk3 is just a renamed zip file... your readme should contain your 'how-tos' - where the files go... read tutorials.. also if you want credit for your work.. ie: your name... email. anyhow.. best bet: download a pk3 - from JediOutcastMaps.com for example and look at what is in the pk3 file
Hope that helps =)

i just want to know how i put all my files into pk3 format, now can someone actually tell me how to do this

Hi!
I have a thorough, beginner-friendly tutorial on getting your maps from a ".map" file into a ".pk3" file for both single player and multiplayer with a screenshot of your level too!
Just download it from my tutorials page, under the "Doing" section called "Compiling & Packing Maps (PK3)" from JK2 mapping at:

1. Submit your level, when you are done, to massassi.net and jediknightii.net.

2. Jedioutcastmaps.com... well, you don't submit to that site JOmaps.com just steals maps from other sites, which is highly illegal.

I know they took JM's map, but he yelled at them and they took it down. Recently, when Gonk released Reactor CTF v1.1, they emailed him asking if he could send it to them and he did. I guess they've changed (for the better).
