xp_spawnSystem

xp_spawnSystem "0-3":
Bitmask that controls player spawning system. Available flags are:
 
    1 - Try to avoid spawn points close to enemy players.
    2 - Try to avoid spawn points close to place of death. 
    3 - Flag 1 + Flag 2
    0 - Random spawns (like 1.03)

i feel that on every Server we have different settings, so what is your default wish ?

i think the flag 1 near to the enemy is very annoying and nerves!

Anyone use/know that Bitmask on his server, i dont think so Smug

Re: Which Spawnsystem is your default wish?

I think you should add option 3 as well, since its a bitmask.
flag 3 = flag 1+ flag 2

option 1 is better then option 2 unless you like spawn kills.
option 2 is the way q3/ql work.

It means no matter where the enemy is youll be spawned in the in the same places (most distanced) if you die in the same place. = more spawn kills. Ppl used to not like spawn kills => option 1 was invented.

how i see it option 1 protects the spawned player more then option 2 does.

It depends what you want. (each option can dramaticly change the way a map like q3dm17 is played for example)

added! But i feel on all servers different settings!

The Result on a Cw/Fw can be different with that Bitmask too, so what is then default for a CW/FW ?

Add a Rule about that! What you think ?

default should be whatever the organizers of a cup would want it to be. Just like the "items on the map" cvar.

Maybe some1 would like to do a cup with vanilla q3 rail in e+ using the option 2. Should we prevent the games to be ranked because of this flag ? I say no.

Maybe would be usefull to have some command added to show the server infos in console. (Not sure if its shown in the server info ( +info ) graphic interface)

The Problem is epsi: i think nobody use / know that Bitmask Smug

And i didnt saw it in any cw/fw/cup as specific setting!

Maybe we have different Results on different Spawnsettings or not?

Re: Which Spawnsystem is your default wish?

I spoke to Zont about this a few weeks ago and apparently he's bought this issue up numerous times to developers/admins/mods and every time he's been ignored. The different spawnsystems make a HUGE difference in gameplay, more so than itemstyle imo, and a specific setting should certainly be included in rank/tournament rules.

I am all for "xp_spawnsystem 0", which afaik is random respawns i.e. like 1.03.

Option 1 from me, definitely.

Even if oldskool is option 2, well, everything's evolving... Don't fear the progress which even can add some more pleasure for the sense of playing.

Well, its nothing like random, its actually not random at all, when u frag enemy its spawn on the opposite side of the map from the place where u fraged him, anyone who have played iu dm17 knows how it works
