having some trouble

[col. mustard]

Hey, uh im new to this whole hammer map making thing, I know how to make maps, ive made almost 10 now, but im having trouble getting them onto counter-strike source.

I've tried to email the files to a friend so he could put it on his server, didn't work.

Then I tried uploading the files to this website, well that didn't work either, I got an error about how my files are invalid, I think this has to do with the fomat they are saved as, so could somebody please just tell me wat the correct file format is. ty

(once i get this figured out, check out my map fy_superscrapers)

To upload to counter-strike.com you have to put the files in a .zip or .rar archive/compressed file

EDIT: nvm, i figured it out, thnx alot, now awaiting for my map to be approved, once again, check out fy_superscrapers... its a fun little fy map, with a jail, a few secrets, and, well i just think its really good. (granting i made it) but its probably my 1st successful map that didnt glitch or anything.

Alright, I have another problem, when I put it in the zipped folder do I only need to include the .bsp file, cause thats all I've been including, I have 1000 downloads on my map fy_iceworldplus but I havnt seen it ingame on a server yet so am I not including the correct files in the Zipped folder?

You need the .bsp file in your zip and any custom models/textures unless you've bspzipped them.
