Okay, say I wanted to make the spawn for GDI and Nod a Raveshaw and a PIC-Sydney, is it possible to do that in level edit? I see there is a part where it says Spawners and the defaults are of course the soldier presets. But I'm guessing it isn't as easy as it sounds. Will it change the spawners if I do it in level edit (with ssgm) or do I have to use C++ to actually get it that way.

There is a JFW_Change_Spawn_Character script that can be attached to a Dave's Arrow so that the spawn character changes to the specific preset.

Or you can just temp the nod and gdi spawn's and change the setting's on it to make it spawn them better than using a Dave's arrow. i only use those for Teleport Zones.
I'm going to get a step by step way of doing it the easy way.
let's see here i don't have renegade yet, I'm pretty sure people can add more to this Tut for you.
Start with your map go to object's spawner's GDI or NOD highlight and and click temp.
Now there is away to change what spawn's there.
So if anyone else would like to finish this be my guest because Like i said i don't have Renegade yet so i can't tell you exactly what to do next.

I'm trying to avoid using the SSGM spawner setting. There are presets that are longer than 24 characters that I want to use. SSGM only permits a 24 character preset. Characters like Havoc, Sakura, Raveshaw, Kane, etc are more than 24 characters.

"Pick Presets" under the settings tab when you "mod" the "GDI Soldier Startup" preset?
|
Negative, changing the startup spawner presets doesn't do shit.

The presets used are actually hardcoded in the exe file. The reason for the 24 character limit is because that how long the strings in the exe are (which is what SSGM changes).
For scripts.dll 4.0, we will be changing things so that the characters can be set via an engine call (inside tt.dll) and can be set to strings of any length.

so, how in 4.0 is the best way in a fanmap to change to startup character ?
im trying atm with "JFW_Change_Spawn_Character" on a Dave's arrow, but this doen't work?
Edit:
ok, i figgured it out, it works, but with a little bug:
You need to die 1 time, then you spawn as the desired char.
is there a workarround?
