Need Help 1st timer

[NoobMapMaker]

Ok so i can build the maps do everything i to but there are 2 things i can't work out...

1:The game lags at 00:01 till the next wave for like 3-5 secs

2:How do you get the stats to work once you have finished your map?

Thank you in advance for any help

The lag at the beginning is generally caused when certain properties haven't been added. For example, did you add at least one random weapon spawner and ammo spawner. Is your trader volume added and set up?

Take a look at these tuts and see if it clears up your questions.

There is one example map in the:
C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonkillingfloorMappingGuide
called TraderExample.rom. This is very useful for copy and pasting the properties you need. This folder also contains a guide that introduces some of the mapping requirements to get your first map functional.

Ok so i have been through all the tuts, been through 100's of settings and been through all the Killing floor maps and i still can not get the stats to update so what is it that im missing?

Again thank you for your time and help

By stats you mean how many kills the player has made?

Or

The ranking progresion (kill bloats and so on)?

For the Rankign progression your map has to be whitelisted by Tripwire. There is a pinned topic on thier forums about it.
