thats a good idea, add a flag to a location entity that allows you to set it to 1 to include in random start, otherwise 0 excludes it. that way if i dont want random start, only one location will have a flag of 1.
Yes, there'd really be no harm done if mappers were given the option to make the start location optional in their maps.
That way we can keep Summit, Tram, and any other maps the way they are and then allow maps with random start locations in mind be able to be creative with their map.
It'd allow us to make more true to the original Ns1 map remakes without having to mod or actually change the game itself, which would be nice.

lol that's pretty awesome. Gonna be a fun Monday at UWE.
Wait for the pics of the Gorge pinata, it started out as such an awesome idea (and the people who made it said it would match the pics they were sent), however the end result was rather, um, comically bad to put it mildly, hopefully it can become some sort of novelty mascot (or just die a glorious death!).

Happy birthday NS1, I really enjoyed the video I loled so much when I saw how protective Max was of the gorge :D and really nice of you playtesters for coming together and doing such a nice thing for the devs.

It was cool meeting Dushan in the instancing video. Good to see quick progress. I'm glad he's part of the team! I'm looking forward to other optimizations from him and Max.

Oh? I hope the guys are aware of the fact that the tournament is cancelled. It would be awesome if they played to game anyways though. Atleast we could see one matchup that is not played every week anyways.
