Can't spawn on captured flags in co-op

[[R-DEV]​AlonTavor]

Because its in a zip, and windows does not support editing files in a zip.

I have answered you in another thread. Don't waste your time modding if you don't want to do modding. Use the debug functions.

"cannot replace text, the current document is read only"

Get a better .zip editor then...

You change a value relating to a particular spawn point inside the level files, shown in my reply in that linked thread.


@Mods - Apologies, I see that this is in general discussion, was not my intent to answer a modding question in an area of the forums not dedicated to modding - I had not noticed the forum category, my bad - was just trying to point OP in the right direct to find the info he requested, and turns out that he was the person I originally responded to with the step-by-step instructions. "You can lead a horse to water..." they say

i have found out that i can use 7Zip to edit the files
so Assault On Grozny and i'm on gpm_coop

uhm

which numbers 16, 32 or 64
what do these mean and which file do i edit ?

Every map has it's own files.
The ones you are looking for is server.zip > gamemodes > (now it depends on what gamemode you play, i suppose you play with bots as you said offline earlier, so open coop) > (you will now see folder with number 16 32 64 128, it is a layer number 16 is infantry, 32 alternative, 64 standart, 128 large, you pick your layer what do you like to play some maps may not or have those layers) > gameplayobjects.con (can be opened with basic notepad)

Now i do recommend clicking in the upper left corner on EDIT and then FIND and paste this >

rem ********** Spawn Points **********

Into the search bar, it should put you into where the spawn points are located in the file.
As you can see there is plenty of spawnpoints, you can see their names and sometimes you can read from where the spawn point is located from the name it self.

We usually keep main bases to be spawnable so they don't contain the line that limits not being able to spawn in on other flags, if you scroll further i am sure you will find spawn points that contain this line.

ObjectTemplate.setOnlyForAI 1

It means that the spawn point is there, every flag has usually a spawn point it is just tagged as only for bots, if you remove this line the spawn point will be spawnable once you have the flag captured.

IF YOU SAVE THE FILE THESE CHANGES WILL BE ABLE TO ONLY BE PLAYED WHILE BEING OFFLINE- IF YOU PLAY ONLINE AS WELL I RECOMMEND BACKING UP THE ORIGINAL MAP FILES BEFORE EDITING SINCE THE GAME WONT LET YOU PLAY ONLINE WITH EDITED FILES.

No worries, though i do recommend first to work with the editor it self, but sometimes it is way quicker to do stuff in notepad for small bugs or issues since it loads quicker.

Or just play in a squad but not as squad leader if you want to stay in the action by using the squad leader spawn point.
