how do you load custom portal maps?
lol, I may sound stupid, but how do you play a custom map after putting all the files in the right place? Because I'm sure what I've done so far is right, but when I go to bonus maps, the map I downloaded isn't there, do I need to open it up with the console?
Just so we have a basis to start from, post the section about installing from the readme attached to the map.
that does indeed sound stupid.
Why do you think the 'readme' is called 'readme'? It's not reversed psychology.
"Duct Tape is the answer."
I think I've solved it now lol, as I was about to post the readme stuff, I noticed I'd put it in the wrong place lol, thanks the help anyway 
how hard is it... the folder with the name "maps" wasnt obvious enough?
press ` and type 'map mapnamehere'
Help me god if people still don't know how to make .bns files...
Lol i think that is the case, as if a compile button was not obvious enough
