Ok, the map is basically made thanks to everyone's help. Now only a few questions remain and I can't find the answers anywhere. How do I add music into the level, and where can I find a program to change certain music file types into .oggs?

Can't remember what I used for ogg vorbis converting but here's one. You may find something better if you search though.

Can't remember but I thought somewhere in level properties there was a soundtrack field that could be set but I havn't used the editor in quite a while.

Thanks Continuum, I'll take a look through it to try to find the program. Now my question is how do I get water to work? I'd like to make a sort of underground pool, but I can't make the water work like it should...can anyone help with this one?

yooo

you can go about with the water a few different ways. if you want dynamic water that moves as players run across it, go for a FluidSurfaceInfo under Info in the Actors tab. I wouldn't recommend this for a huge pool since they do a number to the FPS if they're big. You could also do a BSP sheet with a water texture. won't get the same effect, but if the pool is below the path and inaccessible (players won't get close to it), it's the best way to go.

and for your music problem, it's in Level Properties and in the Audio tab I think. The tab has two options, one where you input a .ogg file and the other option controls the volume (with 2 being pretty loud). there is a Music tab or something but I don't think that works.

I'll try both. thanks Tidu. and I'll post if I got it to work or not...I may not do it for a while though cause it's still in testing from others.
Edit: I try to put the music in, but it won't play. Any ideas as to why? And for some reason, when I try to take a screenshot for the level display in the map selection menu, it comes out black. Anything I can do short of reinstalling to fix that?

Thanks Jason. I'll try it. And I'll be sure to post the results. For all of those who have trouble mapping, feel free to post here too. I know I'm not the only one here who has trouble with the editor.

about the music. Make sure your in-options Music volume is not at 0. I turned my music off since I listen to iTunes while I play, and I always forget to put it back on. If it's not that, then make sure you got th name right in the sound option, should just be the file name without the .ogg (KR-Atlantis for example) and that volume option should be somewhere between 1 and 2.

I did have it down before I tested it, but I changed it and tried again. The in game music was up to about half way, and it still didn't want to play. The file was spelled right and the volume was at 1. Still didn't seem to work...anything else I should try?
