<div class="IPBDescription">How to test them?</div> How can I test the combat map that I'm trying to create?

I can't create a game in ns3.0 - the ns.dll isn't included...

What should I do? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You should wait till the game is released, or pay up $$ become a constallation member and get the beta!.

    People always thinking they can get their hands on 3.0 before it's released.

    Basically you can't test them. Not with full NS:C compatability, since as you've already stated, the ns.dll is missing from the 3.0 beta meaning you can't create your own servers.

    What i might suggest is running your own closed beta with a few people you know using NS 2.0. Tell everyone not to build structures (Except those required to spawn) and play it like a normal DM map. This isn't too much help, but it's better than nothing, and with enough people is adequate testing for layout purposes at least.

    and, OneSneakYmousE, I already have the 3.0 - I just wanted to know how to test them, since ns.dll is missing... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Combat maps are nothing like classic ones. They dont really need to be "tested" alot. Its really dificult to balance a classic NS map by only seeing the layout, totally diferent from Combat, where maps are so small and game style is so diferent. Make sure you got 2 ways out of both hive/MS and also 4 or 5 vents.
