Testing GG map

[RoBoT]

I used one of my old maps to be gun game map but I want to try it out alone before i release it, how to do that?

EDIT: also i wasn't think right because i posted in general modding instead of level design forum

Either use a dedicated server.

Or, (Think this works)

Run the dedicated server from KF and then launch KF again.

There is little what can go wrong though. Just strip the level from ammo boxes/pickups. And add the playerstarts. I did Biotics and Westlondon yesterday in one hour, and didnt even test it lol.(just smacked it on the server...done) Though some are working on a mod so all maps work with it, I rather convert the maps then to add another mod to the server that has the risc of clashing with future updates of the mod.

so basically I can't test the maps without putting them in server

I have tried that, it doesn't work if i started dedicated server and tried to play using the same computer

There is really not that much that can go wrong m8. Just plant the map online, warn everyone your switching maps to test and keep an eye on the server. Thats how I did it.

What happens if you start a dedicated server from a batch file and try to join through LAN?

tip! once you run the server, before you start the game, goto system folder and delete Steamappid file, as you will not be able to join the server,
This file is generated automatically when you run the server

I actually done a whole HLDS install, that way im keeping my server and gaming setups separate, and lets me quickly upload the server to a live server very quickly (my HLDS local version mirrors my live server)
