I think the general idea with spawn points is at least 3 per perchase terminal, or that is what I do...

I think 2 per terminal is better because it gives a person more of a chance to respawn in another building quicker. Theres no point in respawning in another building but what the hell. Wink

It depends how many people you expect playing your map at once, wouldn't want someone spawning in the same spot. Or there is something in a spawn location, the number of spawners will be limited. If you look on WS maps there are lots and lots of them.

2 to 4 is fine. and yes, I would add them to each building, each PT should have them, I use 4 per and 3 per, just depends.

I didnt think of the fact that 30 people may be on 1 team, but what are the chances of all 30 dying at once. There are way more than 30 on my map and i doubt that 60 people will play it.

Btw, i just finished a beta for it. The only things that arent complete in it is the pathway under the bridge, the tunnels connecting to it, and the tiberium and other ground textures. If you willing to try it out ill send it to ya somehow... (need a hosting site)

This is how I view it. if you have 1 per. and the game engine try's to spawn you to PT 1, but PT 1 is being used to spawn someone else, then it will hold or wait micro seconds or mill seconnds untill said PT is availble. so if this is correct, then too little spawners will cause some lag, where too many (within reason) will only help the lagg to be less.

Also, when the game loads, everyone spawns at once... Razz
I would like to have a look at your map. Very Happy

Heres an ingame pic of the nod base from the GDI side. It makes the base look like a fortress Very Happy

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.view.php?id=1196667348

As you probably expected, i need some assistence with the Purchase Terminals, the harvester, the WF and AS droppoints, the base defences firing when supposed to, and some "texture not found problems." I dont know how to put on the Pts but i think they are somewhere in LvlEdit. The tiberium texture is coming out as a black patch even though i correctly added the texture to the map. Also, projectiles dont hit the PP for some strange reason. Other than that and a little bit of terrain errors and mistakes, it looks nice.

I think you should widen the bridge by half of the original size, and defenetly alpha blend alot of that island, the map looks dull with one texture covering the whole island. I also think you should add tunnels, or another bridge to the map. Other then that, good job.

Most the answers to to your questions can be found in renhelp, go to ModX for that.
To get base defences to work you need to have scripts in you mod folder (instructions in renhelp)
The black patch instead of tiberum is because you for got too click the VAlpha, (instructions in renhelp)
The texture problem can be fixed by copying the texture into your mod folder/editor cash folder.

You may want to adjust the map to prevent base to base attacks. The ob and ref made inviting targets for point whores

The bases are too far apart for b2b. The artillery and MRLS wont reach unless they go farther up the bridge where they are subjeect to turrt fire from the stationary emplacements.

Thanks slayer Smile As soon as I fix these problems, ill post it on your site.

Just a suggestion, but you might want to consider adding a few land ramps on the sides of the islands, and making it possible to cross through the water to get to the other island. If done right, you can create a back entrance to the bases, adding to the gameplay.

All in all, it looks like a fairly decent map.

Whoa i just took a look at this topic and saw wat appears to be alot like the map I've been working for 3 months almost in some cases. The islands, the bridge, the other stuff. What a coincindence Very Happy C&C Pacific is kinda arranged the same way on my map except your islands are a bit different and buildings are too.
uhh heres a link to my early screenies

Pacific SS
The SS are kinda old and my map altered a bit but its the same idea.

Other than that it looks pretty good, I'd like to see wat its like myself. Smile
I mean the similarities lol

Thats a nice map Smile I was thinking of putting back ramps on the islands but decided to make a substructure walkway under the bridge that brokeinto 4 paths that would eventually have tunnels that come out in key spots on the islands. I think it will have the same effect on adding to the gameplay and concentrate the gameplay better.
