better spawns

how can i make better spawns for custom maps ?

what do you mean by "better"?

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

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?

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

PHP Code:

---

// 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

Code:

---

getEntArray( "bla_spawn_tdm" , "targetname" );

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