OK, so I have another noobish problem, this time relating to spawning.

So I have 2 spawn points (for testing purposes) on my multiplayer map, they are set to team index 0 and 1 respectively, and set to all gametypes. Now these 2 spawn points were working, and then I compiled an updated version of the bsp and rebuilt the cache file for Halo. No change to the area that these points were located.

So now, when I try to play the map under any gametype on either team, it's stuck on waiting for space to clear. What did I do wrong here? Nothing should have happened that would have made these spawn points not work.

Is this an error of some sort? Please help a decrepid old large member of the deer and human species.

EDIT: It just got even weirder.

I did a debug camera lookaround ingame and found that apparently my lightmaps didn't make it into the game. The map shows up fine, lightmaps and all, in sapien, but ingame it only shows the semi-transparent shaders, as if the map had never had lightmaps run on it.

WTF? o-0

When you change the ".scenario_structure_bsp", you really have to work back through a lot of the stuff you did for the other bsp. Recreate the spawn points and the lightmap in Sapien. I assume you know how to run radiosity on the level. The bsp has certain aspects of the map stored inside it, so when you change it, those things can go away, depending on how it's done. You might just have to redo your whole scenario, which shouldn't take long.

Alright, I'll try starting from a fresh scenario, that seems to be the only option at this point.

Thanks for the assistance.

Glad I could help. Borrow one from a single-player map, or else you'll have to convert it from multiplayer, which can be a little tricky if you delete or don't delete the right things.

Replacing the scenario didn't help. I'm gonna try deleting the .scenario, bsp, and lightmaps and do it from scratch.
