2.0.4's new flagspawn rules... argh...

Post by **L4m3r** » Tue Nov 22, 2005 12:11 am

I've noticed that as of 2.0.4 none of the old tricks for preventing flag (or tank) spawn in certain areas seem to work anymore. Flag and tank spawns no longer acknowledge drivethrough objects, it seems.

So... how do I prevent flags from spawning on something?! on my server right now flags are on the ground... in the water... I don't want that. They need to spawn everywhere but the ground. Help?

EDIT: I'm just going to have to roll the server back to 2.0.2 until I can fix this *sigh*

Non-lethal (drivethru mesh face) water. Different map.

That can enable flags on buildings, but it won't disable them on the ground.

If an object is both drivethrough and shootthrough,
it is now removed entirely from the geometry checks.

there should be a 'noflags' parameter for meshboxes

Not quite perfect, but it will work. Thanks trepan.
