Title: Need Help
Post by: DysFunction on March 02, 2004, 02:26:08 AM
I have made 2 maps and the same thing happened on both of them. I have seen it happen on ns_weldsiege too. I followed 2 different tutorials and I seem to have everything that my map needs to work. I have a ready room with 4 entity bound brushes to join marines, aliens, observe and spectate & 32 spawn points. I have a marine start with a command console with 16 spawn points and a nearby res node. I have 3 hives with 16 spawn points each and a res node nearby. Whenever I compile the map and load up NS and try to join a team it just pops me back in the ready room. I loaded the game up with -dev and found that it is giving this error: AvHGamerules::SelectSpawnPoint(): all spawns full. I asked a Mapper from Guns4Back2School who has made many working maps and he said it is very strange & it must be some bug. I have asked a few people on IRC and they didn't know either.

Just a guess, I haven't done any mapping..
Don't you need a func_teaminfo or something like that.. I'm fairly certain you have to tell the game which team is team1 and which is team2...
Try making sure the spwan points are for the correct team

The entity for that is called info_gameinfo and yes I do have one. I also have specified the correct team for all of the spawn points :(

Hmmm you might try the mapping questions forum on natural-selection.org/forums, or #nsmapping on gamesurge. I'm not sure we have enough pro mappers around here to answer your question in a timely manner.

This happens on the server on the official maps all the time, usually at the end of a round when the hive/IP dies.

well, genrally when this error apears it means taht the spawn points not availible:) there  are three causes.
1. info_team_starts are located in the floor, note they aren't quite on grid ever.
2. the team flags are set wrong, all team one or all team two, thus the other team cannot join
3. RR being retarded, this seems to happen alot. if it does  use the jointeamone or jointeamtwo commands in console and try that way

my info_team_starts are above the floors and the marine start ones are set for Team1 and the Alien ones are set for Team2. I tried using jointeamone and jointeamtwo in console but it just keeps me in the ready room  :wacko:

...ok
well, The next thing i gonna want to see is the compile log or the .map itsself. if you like i would be more than willing to take a look at both. if you want to send me the .map or .rmf email them to confused@confusionville.net and i'll take a gander.
