[The_one]

i am trying to get a map into the game. i have read through the instructional post above but still cant get it.
i made a plain test map with a hill on it.
i then went into f3 mode and placed 8 spawnpoints and allocated the player numbers to each point.
i saved in both modes making one a combat.mi
i then go to the game and start a lan
i fint my map and create the game
it gets to the player ready and that i get a doink noise and it stops with an error message string.

mappoint not found:team(dm) order(1)(mp_gamecompetitive.cpp 141)
main
mp.thread.exec
mp core update
mp tp update
mp tp update loopback
the list goes on.

anyone know what i am doing wrong?
