Making A Ready Room

Fieldweeble

<div class="IPBDescription">Can't seem to get it right...</div> I'm brand new to NS mapping, so I assume I've made a stupid mistake. Heres the problem:

I made a ready room, with 1 info_player_start in it, and two brushes tied to info_join_team entities with Team one assigned to one, and Team two assigned to the other. Both are textured in NULL. Also in the ready room, theres an info_gameplay, with Team one type as humans and Team two type as aliens.

Next, I made a little play room. It's got a team_hive and a team_command, with two info_team_start entities. The info_team_start's teams are Team one and Team two. I've got an info_mapinfo by the command chair, with the height set at 900. Both rooms have a light.

When I go to join a team the first time, it puts me as a spectator. When I f4 back to the ready room, and try to join marines, it drops me back in the ready room as a marine with no HUD or equipment. When I try to join the aliens, it drops me in the ready room as REALLY fast ready-room-guy, like twice skulk speed. What have I done wrong? Why am I not joining the teams? Is there something missing that I overlooked?

Firstly: Search. This has been answered over and over.

Secondly: To get your readyroom working, ensure that you have all these things:

Your map must have 32 info_player_start, 48 info_team_start set to Team two, 16 info_team_start set to Team one, 1 info_gameplay, 1 info_mapinfo, 1 team_command, 3 team_hive
Your map will also need an ns_ prefix (this is assuming you're making a game for NS Classic mode)

If for Combat:

Same thing, except 16 info_team_starts for both teams, 1 team_hive with "Start built" flag checked, 1 team_command with "Start built" flag checked
It will also need a co_ prefix

uhh that info isn't perfect, at least for the NS. you can find all the info like that <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/Mapping_Guidelines.html' target='_blank'>here</a>

why would you need 48 info_team_starts for team 2? the max should be 16. anyways just go to the link.

Let's do some math here.

There are three hives in NS mode.
There are 16 spawnpoints for every hive.
16*3 = 48

Actually, to get it to work for testing purposes, you only need 1 spawnpoint for each team, but to make the map playable for other people, yes, use that many.

I've also had this happen in testing... i'd join team two and end up on team one as an uberfast guy. Made a half pipe and had some fun, then fixed my start entities <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

hmm sounds strange. when i made a ready room to test my map, i had 1 spawn point and 2 brushes to join each team and it worked fine.
