Map Mods in BT will not work.

I have been trying to make a few map mods for some of the maps in Breakthrough, but no matter how I do it, they never spawn anything. I even copied and pasted from other map mods as a last resort, and nothing spawns. It is as if it isn't allowed anymore. Anyone have a shot at this and have this problem? If you have managed to get things to spawn, lemme know how you did it. Thanks.

Did you check for error messages in the console?

Yeah, and I simply didn't get any. I could tell it wasn't working because the map ambience wouldn't play. But I checked it against some other map mods, and it was down to a T. It just wouldn't work.

BT doesn't give any useful error messages when the script doesn't compile properly?

You were running it in developer mode, right?

Ok, I spawned some wire into one map, out of place because it's just a test. You can see it there in the air.

I just copied from another mod and added it under the scoreboard text area of the script. It's the Montecassino map.

Code: Select all

// Wire
	local.wire = spawn script_model
	local.wire model "static/barbwire_long_two_post.tik"
	local.wire.origin = ( 58.00 -1643.00 200.00 )
	local.wire.angles = (0 0 0)
	local.wire.scale = 1
	local.wire solid

Still working on the spawns, though.

Got the spawns to work, at least I think I did. The points I added where all high off the ground, and I don't think any of the original spawns would be. Here's the script I used for the wire and the spawns. I just copy the relevant parts and some of the original stuff for refernce.

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Monte Cassino"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""
}

local.axis = spawn info_player_axis
local.axis.origin = ( 56.00 -1196.00 451.00 )
local.axis.angle = 0

local.axis = spawn info_player_axis
local.axis.origin = ( 81.00 -1725.00 451.00 )
local.axis.angle = 0

local.axis = spawn info_player_axis
local.axis.origin = ( 27.00 -583.00 451.00 )
local.axis.angle = 0

local.axis = spawn info_player_axis
local.axis.origin = ( 58.00 -1643.00 451.00 )
local.axis.angle = 0

// Wire
local.wire = spawn script_model
local.wire model "static/barbwire_long_two_post.tik"
local.wire.origin = ( 58.00 -1643.00 200.00 )
local.wire.angles = (0 0 0)
local.wire.scale = 1
local.wire solid

Aha! That is my problem. lol. I added the script below Level Waittill Spawn. I'll add it like you did. Thanks a bunch!
