A .loc file is what allows players to use %L in messages (and get a result). Standing inside the bank on ahl_nocredit and saying "I'm at %L" will result in you saying "I'm at HC Federal Bank." Every map should have a .loc file for obvious strategic and communicative reasons. Making the file is very easy. Load your map, then to describe any location, type addloc "location" in the console. To write what you have done so far to the .loc file, type savelocs in the console. The .loc should be in your \maps directory with a similar filename to your .bsp (ie ahl_endlrainhc.bsp, ahl_endlrainhc.loc). The loc system works by finding which loc point you're closest to and then reporting its label. Because of this, you might need to place many points per area to get it "accurate." Save the locs and reload the map to check your work. Just run around spamming "%L" wherever you go and if a spot is misreported, add a new one there. |
