Spawnpoint Voting in Warmup

([gadget]) #1

is there a way to vote a spawnpoint in warmup
if i change the spawnpoint in warmup and the game starts i spawn at the
default place after that i can change and it works is this a bug or serversettings or something
can somebody tell me how to fix this?

I don’t think they need/are going to fix this because it has a reason, it would unbalance things slightly. Same in RTCW.

i have asked because i thought this was a little bug or something
that i will be able to fix

That’s not always true, and I think it IS a bug. Sometimes if I just stay on the command map continuously clicking the spawn point that I want I will get it. Other times I have clicked it only once and gotten it but not very often.

It does need to be fixed. What’s the point of being able to select your spawn point if you can’t really select your spawn point. If you can only select it after the game has started, it kinda defeats the purpose.

Like in fuel dump… if you wanted to spawn as an engy in the rear base so that you can construct the defenses etc. and it doesn’t let you, you have to run all the way back there on foot which takes a bit of time. Then if you did select that as your spawn point after your first death, you spawn back there and have to run all the way back to the bridge area or whatever. This needs fixed.

I don’t remember it being that way in the demo either :disgust:

Ps. Thanks for pointing the right thread to me [Gadget] didn’t spot it when I posted my ‘new’ thread :smiley:

In the demo you could spawn at the fuel dump as axis. I used to do it all the time as eng, often getting the defenses up before the other engie taking the long route showed up.

I would like to have this brought back. Being able to spawn on the other side of the beach in battery is a life saver, not to mention saving time getting the CP up and running.

It’s quicker to /kill then choose the 2nd spawn on beach than it is to run over there from the initial spawn, you can only usually get about half way in that time if you run … that’s if you don’t get caught in airstrikes. Personally I think it’s a bug (along the lines of the default gun always beeing selected at mapchange, grrr at starting with a stupid sten when you dont want it), if the spawn is yours by default you should be able to choose it at warmup IMO.

Bani has fixed this with his ET mod, Bayonet. Select the spawn during warmup and it stays after game starts. Bayonet is still in test at this time.
