Is it possible to create 2 separate BSP structures in one map? Kind of like a single player map, but instead for a multiplayer map.

If so, could anyone give detailed instructions on how to do so?

Thanks in advanced!

Yes, this is how day night scripts work. It is essentially switching between two bsps. I have always been interested with this concept and imagined doing a map where you can teleport to inside/outside chambers with all different environment types.

Exactly how it works I forget. Assuming I remember just export 2 different named bsp models and in the map file you can attach both structure bsps in guerilla. The practical matter of switching bsps will have to be done with scripts and things I'm not very familiar with.

So what you're saying is, when I export the models from 3ds, export them as 2 differently names models, then create the BSP Structures for each model then merge them into the scenario?

Yes, something along those lines. I also believe it will require the use of scripts. You will need to do further research or hope for someone else to clarify. I would try and find a map with day night scripts and look at how they set it up.

Like Extinction or Coldsnap for example?

Yes.

So I've created 2 BSP Structures, one is desert, clear sunny day, the other is suppose to be snow, ice, foggy and windy and dark, but I can't figure out how to put them together into the levels scenario....

Scroll to the very bottom of scenario tag. Add another bsp there. Bam.

Well, it worked, I have 2 bsp structures, but issues with lighting on one side, it's pitch black and suppose to be bright as day. Yes I ran radiosity, but the other side is suppose to be the side that is dark, but not pitch black....

Any ideas?

The transition from one bsp to another is perfect though, just using a teleporter.

If you're trying to do what I think you're doing,
You'll need at add two skies to the .scenario
Slot 1 will be applied to +sky0
Slot 2 well be applied to +sky1 and so on...

Each climate uses a sky starting from +sky0 and up instead of a single-climate BSP using just +sky .
Each climate has to be separated by a portal or two.
Each time you step into a new climate, every sky changes to the current climate's sky. So be sure to make bendy hallways so that the player cannot see the transition.

Makes sense, now this can be done for the 2 BSPs, just need to set up the sky the way you explained?

And how do I create a portal?

I'll check them out, hopefully I can successfully do something new and different from what I usually do. Getting tired of building boring maps, so I want to create something new and a bit more challenging. ;)

Majority of those are weapon tuts. :\

Majority of those are still something new and exciting.

Yes I understand, but I am not trying to build weapons at this time, I wish to build a new level and something good....really good.

If it's for a day-night map, the script can be activated using UI widgets or activating a holopanel somewhere in the map. I'm unsure of the UI widget script, but the holopanel would be this

(if ((device_get_power = 1) true)
(switch_bsp 1))
((device_get_power = 0)
switch_bsp 1))

Or something similar to that.

Thank you, I will give that a try, and see what happens.
