Need Help Screenshotting Spawn Maps

[S']['U]

When I load any Spawn map in "Host Multiplayer" I am unable to spawn when the map starts.
It seems like I am stuck in observer mode... I can still move around the map like an observer, but there seems to also be a huge loss of detail when I view the map like this, causing diagonal lines to look jagged:



This is unacceptable for screenshotting.
Does anyone know how I can make my player spawn in these maps?

Open up the console and post a screenshot of what it says. Bound to be some useful info there.

open up the .mis file, and see if there are any functions at the bottom of the file. delete the functions if they are there.

It won't allow me to screenshot the console while it's displayed with the ~ key.
Is there another way to access this info?

OK... I tried that. It seemed to make no difference except eliminating the "There are no stations" warning.

The screen say "Fire to Spawn" but nothing happens.
Maybe I need more than 1 player?

OK... I was able to screenshot the console by windowing the game, screen-shotting my desktop and pasting it to paint:

Go to the bottom of the spawn .mis files and look for

Code: Select all

//--- export object end ---//
$teamScoreLimit = 10;
exec(objectives);
$Game::missionType = "CTF";
$cdTrack = 7;
$cdPlayMode = 1;

Delete everything under that and save.

Are you hosting with annihilation?

No.

Go to the bottom of the spawn .mis files and look for

Code: Select all

//--- export object end ---//
$teamScoreLimit = 10;
exec(objectives);
$Game::missionType = "CTF";
$cdTrack = 7;
$cdPlayMode = 1;

Delete everything under that and save.

That did the trick.
This looks much better:



THANKS!

Great, the custom map codes were probably preventing you from spawning.

I'm pretty sure the diagonal lines are caused by the fact that observer cameras can be rotated around the x and y axis, but players cannot.

For future reference, type the following code into the console to screenshot while the console is open:

Code: Select all

screenshot(mainwindow);
