Respawn Stopped Working in Editor

[foxwilliam3 1]

Greetings,

I have been using the ARMA 2 editor now for some time and decided to get into creating a multiplayer map with respawns. I searched your site and many others and found out what to do rather quickly. It's simple enough to get the hang of it but recently I have run into a glitch er something, that I cant find help on.

I created a simple mission to allow respawns and had no problem getting it to work.

IE: respawn= "base";

respawndelay= 10;

I added a marker in the editor with the title respawn_west and for a short time it worked.

I then went on to modify the map a bit more adding more units and everything still worked.

Then out of the blue when I was previewing the map I just made for the 1000th time, when I died it wouldn't respawn me anymore. I exited the preview and ran it again but still the respawn wouldn't work. So thinking it was something that I recently added or changed I loaded a previously saved working copy and tried it. But it still didn't work.

So I started a new map and just added the bare minium for a respawn, and still it doen't work.

I even tried re-installing ARMA 2 to see if there were currupt files present, but that didn't hep either.

So it did respawn you at first? I've never had respawn work in the editor. Tho I work in the SP editor. Does respawn work in the MP editor? I thought they were the same.

I've never had respawn work in the editor.

Same here.

No, It dosn't. It did but that has also since been not working.

It will probably work when you export it as a MP mission.

I just tried to export it to mp mission, and after I die it scrolls me around for 10 secconds then follows a bird for about a seccond and brings up the stats for the mission and has continue at the bottom wich brings me back out of the mission. I also tried making a mission in the mp editor, and it does the same thing.

Make sure your description.ext isn't

.

Checked, it lables it as an ext file, opens with (unknown file)

The only respawn that still works is when I make a mission with the wizard and choose something like deathmatch..

Like everyone else is saying. If you die in sp and are using the default BI respawn then it will not work. Once you preview your mission in MP it will work fine as long as all the params are setup properly.
