How do you make the menu when you hit F1?

look in your continuum directory for a file called Commands.hlp

Just use that as an example to make (or edit up) your own.

Then you can just upload it to your server and ?set misc:levelfiles=commands.hlp

It says that Command.hlp is not a windows help file or the file is corrupted.

Open it with notepad, wordpad or any other text file readable editor...

Hold down shift then right click on the file and it might say 'open with', here you can choose one of the programs mentioned above, be sure to make sure the box 'always open with this program' is unchecked.

include it in the File= section of a lvz file that your arena uses in it's settings(misc:levelfiles=)

do i have to make it into a .lvz or just add the name if it into it:

misc: DefaultLevelFile=map.lvl, f1menu.hlp

like that?

no. You need lvz toolkit. Read the readme.txt file on how to make lvz files.

It's not f1menu.hlp. It has to be called "commands.hlp".

I don't think you need to use maps (.lvl) in the LevelFiles.
