Title: CTF Flags not showing in game
Post by: JoeSox on March 04, 2012, 01:18:16 PM
I need some ideas why my red nd blue flags do not show up in CTF.
I have followed the instructions here:
DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Mapping_information_for_special_gametypes](DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Mapping_information_for_special_gametypes (http://([b)

shows up in skirmish, the team_redobelisk and team_blueobelisk show but no flags.
Thanks.

Try deleting the "gametype" key first.

Flags didn't have a gametype but I did manually add gametype using notepad in .map as a previous map I created had that in there.
I deleted everything and it still wouldn't work.  I've deleted the two flags and tried putting them back. not sure where to look next. I onder if it is a spawning issue and flags won't display?

Oh, wait, have you tried with these commands?

/g_gametype 4
/devmap <yourmap>

yes, not showing up there either. but now just checking the output I see
.aas out of date
WARNING: CTF without Red Flag
WARNING: CTF without Blue Flag
FinishSpawningItem team_CTF_blueflag startsolid at (x,y,z)
FinishSpawningItem team_CTF_redflag startsolid at (x,y,z)

I'll rebuild the aas and see if any better (but I am sure I have done this before but I just re-added gametype for all the entities.

Well, rebuilt the .aas but flags still not showing.
I have attached everything needed in the zip file except some textures if you or someone else wants to give me second eyes on this.
Let me know if  missed some files.
Oh yeah, the flags are at Platform and Cafe.

C:\oasvn\baseoa\scripts\q3map2_OperationMetro.shader
C:\oasvn\baseoa\maps\operationmetro\*.tga
C:\oasvn\baseoa\maps\OperationMetro.map, etc
MODIFIED - attachment removed

This is the problem here : your flags are considered to be inside a solid area, and things are not spawned when inside solid areas.

They are probably too low on the ground, raise them up 24 units.
