What Are These Files? Nubie Question

DEADscott

Hi, Im on my first week of NS mapping. I never mapped before. Im using Hammer 3.4 and ZHLT compile tools. My map is very basic, Im learning. My .bsp file crashes my public server. It wont run. But it runs fine in Hammer. When I compile I dont run rad, because I didnt put in any lighting. After the compile I have a .BSP file and .pts, .prt, .lin, .map, .rmf, .wic, .po, .p1, .p2 and .p3 files. I know .rmf and .map but what about the rest?



As long as I have your attention I have a few more questions. Ive looked on this and other boards but cant find the answers.

Do I need to ADD lighting for the map to run?

When I started my map, I put thr RR at the top and built the map on the bottom. I have figured out my commander view and all looks good. Will this affect my map in a way Im unaware of?

When I use the option "Check map for problems" I get "Entity func_door has unused keyvalues" on the 3 doors I have. I know this means I have options for the doors that I did not use, but I dont need to use them. Will this cause my map not to run?

Thanks for all the help you guys have given me this week. I would have been lost without it.
Here is my compile log. Can you tell why my map wont run on my server? It runs in Hammer.

Ollj

just ignore the unused keyvalues error, its hoax.
your map should run without RAD or any light source, it will just be fullbright then.

I have no idea why this map crashes. just delete some ns specific entities, they are most times the reason for ugly bugs.
one info_player_start should be enough.
