How do I allocate spawn locations on voxed?

[Jdrew]

Impossible. Voxed is just an editor you would need to do it via a script and map extensions.

The easiest way is to use the CTF POINTS script along with its map extensions in your map's mapname.txt file.

It's also possible to script spawn locations directly in the mapname.txt file itself. Here's an example from the Firestorm map:

Code: Select all

name = 'Firestorm'
version = '1.1'
author = 'SLoW'
description = ('A remix of the classic Tribes 2 map Firestorm.')
extensions = { 'water_damage' : 25 }
protected = ['B5', 'G4']
fog = (232, 128, 5)

        return (96, 274, 25)
