Has any body noticed the same thing since 188 build,

that the map editor entities like player start , egg start ,teams location ,etc.

Are all gone from the list of Entities. I reinstalled NS2 and found the same thing.

But if you already have them in the map you can still join as if they are still there.

Any info on this would be great. Maybe It was just missing in there patch and they will release a quick fix.

Thanks, P-Maximus

    They are gone because of the introduction of random spawning and the random spawning system. I recommend you check out Kouji Sans sample map for an idea of how you should be laying out modern NS2 maps.

    Thanks for the fast answer. I thought it might be that but was not sure.

    But, then there isn't the possibility of adding fixed-spawns if you require fixed spawns (because not all maps are meant to be played the same way).

    There will be. You can set tech points to be random, alien only, marine only or no spawn. So if you wanted fixed positions, you'd set one marine, one alien and the rest no-spawn. Or you could do NS1 style spawning. And so forth.

    Just remember not to put your hive in the corner of a room or you'll get eggs spawning in the areas behind the wall.
