Trying to load maps

I'm using the irrlicht engine with the Game Maker DLL, i've been trying to load my own maps since xception released it.. I've come to the conclusion the my maps are prolly not being compiled correctly.. can someone please tell me how to compile maps to be used for irrlicht? are there certain do's and dont's of map making for irrlicht?

note that Irrlicht only supports Quake3 bsp. If you're trying to load a bsp meant for another game that's probably your problem

That DLL's just come out hasn't it? I wouldn't look past the possibility of it being a teething problem with it, I am pretty sure that a map that loads in Q3 would load in Irrlicht. The 3-4 I've tried have worked alright.

well it acts like it's loading.. it sees the file anyway... maybe my camera isnt positioned correctly?

btw, this has been out since march 13.. a month before it was announced on the irrlicht site.

i have an idea, does someone have a map they have tested out in irrlicht that i could try?

edit, again..
do you think me not making a pk3 file would be a good reason for not working?
