Hello everyone, I'm new here, and not a particularly good forger yet, but I decided to begin work on a new map. It's in the Alaska region of forgeworld if that makes a difference. Anyway, I just began with the skeleton of the map -- laid down a couple structures, weapons, initial points and respawn points, so I decided to back and play the saved map in customs to see if everything worked smoothly. It didnt. I clearly have respawn areas, initial spawns, and respawn points inside of my map, but when I start the game it literally spawns me all over forge world. Hemorrhage, Paradiso, the Hanger, literallly everywhere EXCEPT where I want my spawns to go. I don't really understand where I'm messing up, and I looked all over the internet and could not find an answer... help please? Thanks
Do you start in the map? Do you respawn in the map? Are your spawns set to a team? Are they gametype specific? How about your starting points?
We can't really help you unless you give us a link to the map. Unless something really, really ****ed up is going on, your description of what you put in your map can't be true. If a map has everything set up correctly, it should work 100% of the time. I think you might have missed some crucial step in setting up spawn points, causing the map to use the default spawns embeded into the map's coding (The Pillar, The Colliseum, The Canyon, and The Island Shore). Unless we actually have a live sample of this map, we won't be able to tell what was overlooked.
well im gonna take a shot in the dark here and say you have a team assigned to the spawns and you went into customs by yourself causing yourself to be unable to use the spawns because thats all i can really come up with assuming you have respawn points initial spawn points and started on a blank forgeworld
White Rice was correct, thank you. I ended up playing around with it myself and I had only given INITIAL spawn points that were red/blue, and no neutrals so it put me all over the map when i tried to play a FFA gametype. I enabled team, and then added neutral spawns and I was fine. I had figured it out myself but thanks for the speedy responses everyone, I appreciate it.
