Title: Center flag map problem
Post by: Burt_Gummer on August 08, 2005, 11:40:22 AM

I have just got into mapping, and with a lot of help from CoBo, I was able to get a basic map created, but I want it to be a center flag game.  Here is my problem:

I have created the map correctly, and created the entity for the flag and set it's properties correctly so that it is a neutral flag and set the worldspawn properties so that the game is a 1 flag game.

When I test the map in DP, all of the objects appear correctly, but the flag does not show up where I put it in the center of the map.

Note - I have not created bases yet.

are you testing the map in 1-flag mode?

You have to set the gamemode for the worldspawn and the flag entities.  In this case, they'd all be 2.

To support different modes, you will need to set ctfmode at the console before loading the map: ctfmode 1 = 1-flag, ctfmode 2 (default) = 2 flag.

Ok.  I am new at making DP maps (although I have become fluent with 3ds Max 7 - go figure, lol), and thanks to CoBo, I might have a good map for you all to try out in about a week or so.
