How do you add a repawn point?

[Flackjacket 0]

Ive made a very simple coop for my son and myself.... I was killed after 2hours and 49 minutes of play! And returned as segual. How do you add a respawn point? Here is the info I have found reading through the forums

In OFP, place a marker, e.g. a circle. Name it "respawn_west" for West's respawn, "respawn_east" for East's respawn, and "respawn_guerrila" for Resistance' respawn. Notice the typo of guerrila (correctly spelled it's guerrilla or guerilla (both are correct), but for respawn in OFP it's guerrila).

Put the following into your description.ext (in your mission's folder):

respawn="base"

respawndelay=15

if you dont have description.ext make one

OK I've made a marker and named it respawn_west. Then in the marker box where you name the marker there is a bunch of stuff about color icon axis angle.... what do I do with all those boxes?

I do not have a discription.ext in the folder of the mission I created, so i'm supposed to create one. How?

I know this info is here somewhere but I couldnt find it.

Thanks for your help

These are just "cosmetics" , there is no need for your situation to change the angle, the colour or the apparence of the marker yet.

You can change those settings according to what you want the mission users to see ingame.

Just create a simple text file on your mission\yourmissionname\ folder (right click with your mouse -> New -> Text Document)

Inside of this text file, put the needed input and respawn informations that you found by searching and save the changes

Rename your new text file into (exactly)

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">description.ext

wouldn't that just make a .txt file named description.ext and not be an actual .ext file ? or does that work still ?

open notepad write yer stuff in ei.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

respawn = "base"

respawndelay = 10

then choose save as. where it says type of file change it to all files and name the file description.ext

in sancs method the file is still a normal .txt file

also i think "group" respawn would be better suited to wot you need as with "base" respawn you start at the marker and that might be miles away from your sons location in game (unless you you set up some fancy moving respawn markers)..

for group respawn you dont need markers as you spawn back into a member of your AI squad provided you have AI in your squad still alive..you'd spawn back near your son and wouldn't have to set up any fancy markers or run a mile to catch up..

another type is "instant" which will spawn you where you died but gets annoying cos you probably gonna get shot again straight away trying to pick your weapon up from your body

here are the types you can have from an OFPEC tut.

NONE - no respawn

BIRD - as seagull (default)

INSTANT - at place you last died

BASE - at your base (respawn markers)

GROUP - into a remaining soldier of your group (WORKS ONLY FOR GROUP LEADER.)<---this is lies it works for anyone in the group who is a player

SIDE - (NOT WORKING)<---never tried this dunno?
