I've created a map and it compiles fine. The problem I'm running into is when I test the map, everyone will spawn on the tdm spawn entity only. I've made axis and allied spawns on opposite sides of the map (8 spawns per side with 1 tdm spawn).

Our server is presently using the openwarfare mod (waiting on extreme+ mod to come out) and running sniper only maps. I do remember that there was some spawn logic issues with COD4 when it first came out. Any ideas on how to keep everyone from spawning only the tdm spawn?

The code for TDM will only spawn on team-specific spawns while gace period is valid. Once that ends (default time is 15 seconds), everyone starts to spawn on mp_tdm_spawn.

If you want players to only spawn on team-specific spawns, you will need to edit the gametype GSC file to that effect - just as {UST}Juice did for COD4 sniper-only maps.

In other words, you will have to mod the TDM gametype file.

Thanks Tally for the response. Unfortunately, I'm not very knowledgeable in scripting. Here is my tdm gametype gsc file.

1. #include maps\mp\_utility;
   #include maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_util;
   /*
   TDM - Team Deathmatch
   Objective: Score points for your team by eliminating players on the opposing team
   Map ends: When one team reaches the score limit, or time limit is reached
   Respawning: No wait / Near teammates
   
   Level requirements
   ------------------
   Spawnpoints:
   classname mp_tdm_spawn
   All players spawn from these. The spawnpoint chosen is dependent on the current locations of teammates and enemies
   at the time of spawn. Players generally spawn behind their teammates relative to the direction of enemies.
   
   Spectator Spawnpoints:
   classname mp_global_intermission
   Spectators spawn from these and intermission is viewed from these positions.
   Atleast one is required, any more and they are randomly chosen between.
   
   Level script requirements
   -------------------------
   Team Definitions:
   game["allies"] = "marines";
   game["axis"] = "japanese";
   This sets the nationalities of the teams. Allies can be american, british, or russian. Axis can be german.
   
   If using minefields or exploders:
   maps\mp\_load::main();
   
   Optional level script settings
   ------------------------------
   Soldier Type and Variation:
   game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
   game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
   This sets what character models are used for each nationality on a particular map.
   
   Valid settings:
   american_soldiertype normandy
   british_soldiertype normandy, africa
   russian_soldiertype coats, padded
   german_soldiertype normandy, africa, winterlight, winterdark

Any insight on how to correct this file?

Bump.....I really hate to bump my post, but I still need some help from someone who knows how to mod the tdm.gsc file. Again, any help is greatly appreciated.
