Is it a DM, FF or TDM map? What type of spawn points did you put into your map. I maybe way off base on this but i have never noticed that i wil continually spawn in the same spot. Unless i compiled with the wrong options and i continually spawn from the player info start instead of an Axis or Allied spawn point. (I usually do OBJ maps)

Maybe with only 3 spawn points, its just luck that you happend to spawn in the same spot. Try adding a few more just to see what happens.

Hope this helps.

In DM maps I made the experience of spawning as far as possible from my enemies, the engine seemes to decide which spawnpoint is the one to take and off you go to that point.
When I test my map alone, I also start at always the same point, but in a deathmatch with two or more players it's the way described above...
Maybe its something similar in ur case!?

hmmm???

well ive just tested a TDM. And ive put up a server playing with my friend on that map for hour. And always the same spawn.. im not beliving in god but this is sick if it was just lucky. The spawn i used was allies spawn and axis spawn dont rember their name but like that axis and allies. Like in all tutorial. But as you said my map i rather small because i just made a map of my house. so could it be that, that is to short distance between the spawns?????
