There are so many good maps that dont get a chance to be played on 32 man servers because the map makers dont make their map with 32 spawn points.

So please All Mappers when u put out a map no matter what version of the map (b1,b2, etc..) have at least 32 spawn points.


Cheers, Teflon

thanks for the heads up but ive been told this so many times instead on just putting one spawn in to test i put in the full 32 just to self test. But yeah ill make sure i have no less that 32 points

Not just 32 make sure to add a few more, like 18 or 20 per side, it doesn't hurt to have a few extra just in case....and make sure they are valid.

If your in game turn on cheats (sv_cheats 1) then type map_showspawnpoints 1 and the ones in red aren't valid, except the one you spawned from it is.

It makes absolutely no since at all to ever put less than 36 spawns in a map. People who run 32 player servers are nutty and are liable to run even a small map if it is good ;p

I don't want to have to add any more damn spawn points to maps via entity editing because some mapper only put 12 and 14 in...Yarrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
