<div class="IPBDescription">When I join a team, HL crashes.</div> Right now, I've got a simple map. Readyroom in the top right corner of the map which has 20-24 <b>info_player_starts</b> (yes i know I should add more, this is just for testing), 2 <b>info_join_teams</b> (one team 1, one team 2), and <b>info_spectate</b>, and <b>info_join_autoassign</b>.
Then in the marine spawn I've got 16 <b>info_team_starts</b> (set to team 1) an <b>info_mapinfo</b> (which I didn't change any variables in, so maybe there's something in that that I need to do), and a <b>team_command</b> (set to team 1).
The alien spawn areas (3 of them, which are close together, 4-5 hundred units apart. This is because I am just working on the marine spawn area atm and don't have the aliens area built yet. So I just put three of these outside the spawn in a big room) This area has I think 5 <b>info_team_start</b> (set to team 2) for each hive, and obviously 3 <b>team_hive</b> (or whatever it's called).
So I join the game, it works fine. But the second I walk into the <b>info_join_team</b> (set to team 1), HL crashes and I go nuts. I've done everything I can think of and still nothing is working to fix this crash. Altho, while typing this I just realized I don't have 3 resource nodes for the aliens, which could be part of my problem...so I'll add those and edit this if it worked or not. But in the mean time, if anyone has any ideas why I suck so much at mapping let me know! Thanks! (And I hope this isn't in one of the FAQ's here.. I've been to so many websites looking for help and I couldn't. So if the fix is here sorry <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

This could be your culprit. Set your commander view height and map boundaries.
Does it crash when you join alien?
I'll try changing the commander view height and map boundaries and recomple again.
[Edit] I did change the vaules in info_mapinfo to set boundaries and view heights and it's still crashing.
It's good to see an SA goon on these forums. I didn't even think about posting for help on SA or if there's already a NS mapping thread. I'm ApeTit on SA, don't post much so you probably won't recognise me.

There's definitely a few NS threads, but as far as I know there's no NS mapping specific thread.
I'll bet there's more than a few HL mapping experts there though. try posting in Games or SH/SC
If i wasn't leaving for a weeks holidays tomorrow I'd take a look at your .map file. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
*EDIT* Problem only occurs if I join Marines first. If I join aliens, F4, and then join Marines it seems to work fine. Otherwise if I join Marines first, I see a flash of the level, then it turns black and repeats the last sound (loading weapon) until you Ctrl Alt Del out. Hope that helps some
getting startet at a point that sees in the void (hall of mirrors) will cause a crash.
the start position is choosen randomly wich could explain the random appearance.
I actually mean't the readyroom, not the joins, but whatever worked for you...
I use aaatrigger for team joins myself and i've never encountered this error. Prehaps someone can do some scientific investiagtion into this and find out what's <i>really</i> going on?
