DEATH MATCH SPAWNS?
Ok hers my question, i have mad maps for all nova games, and not much i dont know about making maps, but thats said, now i'm finding dfx dm spawns are
not working as they should, when you die you just respawn in the same place over and over, the odd time you will be placed onto a different spawn only
to keep being placed in that. i have read you can set WP pause, and this can be set to how many times you respawn in the same place, i use NILE, and
can not find WP pause, i could start to make maps with the other med, like i did before nile, but i would like to know if i can do this any other
way??
I use 32 spawns, and know its not because i'm not placing the right ones in the maps. thanks for any help you can give me.

im not sure there is a way around it but reducing the number of DM starts may help 16-20
i think what happens is you get assigned a spawn marker depending on what order u come into the game SSN(lowest # - highest #)although you still
spawn randomly itll place u there more often i think.
if you lower the amount of spawns theres a better chance your spawn will be randomly used by another player therfore you would probably spawn
somewhere else
another possible fix is if u also use 10-20 PRIMARY START, DM markers this your marker u got when u come into the game will never be used again(used
for 1st spawn only)
these solutions are just a WAG(wild azz guess) but it would be worth a shot
lack of ignorance is the first sign of stupidity

Well, it's always been my understanding that it depends on how many people are respawning at once..so, if you check it by serving a lan game and
killing yourself, you will spawn in the same place..
Have you served the game, and had multiple respawns to see what happens?
2 people can't respawn on the same marker, hence the need for 32 markers for a 32 person server..causing the player to spawn at the next available
Spawn.
You can number each marker, edit the item attributes, change the 0 to a number, this sets the spawn order, but, I'm pretty sure that the Default Maps
don't set this.
I have some bms's converted to mis from Sazza, all the markers are not numbered and are neutral..
The player,start marker is only for SP and Coop, and will be ignored if you place them in a DM or TDM..
