better spawns

[feanor]

how can i make better spawns for custom maps ?

[Ni3ls]

what do you mean by "better"?

[feanor]

all custom maps have 1-2 spawn points . specially when we are playing ctf one team always being stuck in same area then finishes fast..

You can decompile them and add spawns

[IzNoGoD]

Or just add them in your script.

Add the spawns with a hex editor and then recalculate the end of the file. That is what you mean right?

[IzNoGoD]

Lol, why not just edit your scripts to include some other spawns? way easier and more flexible.

I'm even using spawns defined in a mysql database in my own mod...

best way is as IzNoGod suggested, use script and don't mess up ur maps


// delete unused spawns
spawns = getEntArray();

for( i = 0 ; i spawns.size ; i++ )
{
if( isSubStr( spawns[i].targetname , "spawn" ) )
spawn[i] delete();
}
// set new spawns here
level.spawns = [];

for( i = 0 ; i < myNewSpawns ; i++ )
{
s = spawnStruct();
s.origin = myNewSpawns[i].origin;
s.angles = myNewSpawns[i].angles;
s.team = myNewSpawns[i].team; // whatever
}

now use level.spawns instead of
getEntArray( "bla_spawn_tdm" , "targetname" );

And for ctf you gotto do that twice, for both sides of the map.
