Hi all.

I am fairly new to mapping, in fact started many maps, but have only really finished one! Although saying that it's not quite finished.

I am part of a clan, so can upload maps onto a server for "play testing" and for the others to see what I've done, but I have run into a small problem:

every time we go to play S&D, when someone gets shot they instantly re-spawn. The server settings are correct, and I have included all the needed/relevant mp entities.

Any thoughts?

Cheers.

ps: There are no "errors" popping up when I compile, in fact it runs through with no problems at all....

Maybe mod is installed on server?

Yeah I had thought of that. So I double checked after posting earlier. The only mod on the server is a standard "ATI" config in other words nothing has changed. The setting etc are identical to standard CoD4 apart from "league" settings eg: certain perks dissabled etc. Nothing that I would class as a "mod" pre-say..

Cheers for the quick reply though ;-)

Is it only doing this on your map? If it does it for all maps, chances are there is a mod or setting on the server somewhere that is causing this to happen.

Have you added every SD multiplayer entity to your map?

SD spawn points, bombzones, bomb, bombtrigger?

It sounds like the default SD Dvars have been changed or edited somewhere in your configuration files.

Hi

Sorry I didnt reply sooner.

Yeah I've added all the "needed" entities, both bomb triggers, all spawn points (16 I think) both for attack and defend, both bomb sites (A&B) the "bomb trigger" in an obscure corner, both the mini-map corners, and the bomb for attack.

I read somewhere that I also needed the TDM spawns, otherwise the map wouldnt run. So those have been added also. Just wondering if that could be the problem?

Also I haven't "edited" anything relating to the multiplayer entities. Although if something has been changed accidentally I couldn't say..

Cheers for the replies ;-) any help/advice is well received.

TDM spawns are a must have if i`m not wrong. In fact i always enter one TDM spawn group somewhere and then DM and SD where i like them to have. Noone is playing TDM at my server, so i keep them just "for the game" :)

I would try it (TDM spawns) or most likely some wrong setting. If you are using configs, then config files don`t need to cover all functions. There is a probability, that theoretically a mod has predefined some settings which are not part of the configs. So in fact it may not be a bug, but a regular setting you have to change or is simply missing as a config :) Which is what i would bet on. But that is just a guess of course

Hi Thanx for the replies.

Well, tried taking out all the spawns, and re-doing them. No joy. Tried adding all the other spawns (SAB etc) no joy, and had a look into the config being "wrong" from what I can see its perfectly ok. Thing is: its a standard config used for CoD4 league matchs, so changing anything in it would be un-wise.

completely at a loss here. It could be me being silly, and not noticing something though. So will re-check everything.

Again, thanx for the replies.

You didn't say if it's doing this on your map alone or on all maps.
Try a stock map and if it doesn't occur then you'll know it's your map at fault.
