Spawning on islands

[BetterDeadThanZed]

I've spawned on islands around Napf as have some of my players. Is there a way to keep players from spawning on the islands? It's a real pain to have to swim to shore because you're a new spawn that is on some random island.

Paraspawn helps deal with that

dayz_paraSpawn = true;

 

 

I was also going to move around some of the spawn points to internal locations on the map

[BetterDeadThanZed]

No, I don't want that. I want players to start on the ground. I wonder if adjusting this value will do anything?

 

spawnArea= 1500; // Default = 1500

spawnArea= 1500; // Default = 1500

 

I'm not sure if that effects players spawning, or general stuff like loot and vehicles.

 

All the player spawnpoints are defined in the mission.sqm. If you find out what worldspace coordinates are on the islands, which you can do with mapGridPosition and radio calls in the editor, and change them to different locations, you wont have the problem anymore.

You can go into the 2d editor and move them to the places you prefer.

NAPF spawn points do need some help. They are almost all up north.

 

Bah, I hate the editor :D

[Schultz]

Yes, more spawnpoints to the south would be awesome. 

 

Any plans for the next update or should we do it on our own?

[Achmed]

How do you do it in the 2D editor?

I've started but tired eyes make it difficult.

Will continue tomorrow :(
