Desert-Themed Map?

Lately I've been messing around on some VCTF servers (crappy servers, but interesting maps), and I came across this map named DesertCombat. It was pretty cool: flat, but with a bunch of trenches to sneak about in. There were some towers for sniping, and a good balence of vehicles.

Is anyone interest in helping me make a similar map for ONS? I haven't made a map before, but I have messed around in Unreal Ed, and I have some reverence books.

Bascially I would like to make a "ONS-DesertStorm" map. Think Spiffengrad in Iraq. The cores are in army camps that are in bombed-out slums. One cratered road connects the slums, but the easiest routes to the cores would be in the desert sands left and right to the road, where a maze of trenches have been dug. These trenches will be filled with goodies such as ammo and health vials. Also in the sands will be bomb-out vehicles with possible sniper positions. Nodes will be in trenches and building rubble. Tanks and Benders spawn at the core: Scorpians and more benders at the nodes. No flying vehicles. Maybe some cool custom vehicles if I can find some. Harmful barbed wire will be spread about, along with exploding fuel tanks. The best way to get to the nodes and cores would be through the trenches, since an all-out assalt could be pushed back easily.

So, yeah. Anyone interested?

Well I feel like a dumbass, but I've already run into a problem. I've added the cores and nodes into the map, but when I load the game to use the link designer, all I see is the red power core. What am I doing wrong?

Is the gametype set to Onslaught (Level Info Properties)? Either way, I feel like it's kind of irrelevant whether the nodes work until you've got everything else finalized.

Did you rebuild the map before going to link designer? Did you make sure to add one red core and one blue core? Maybe you put in 2 red cores by mistake...
