The Grand Mapedit Assistance Compendium

[RoosterMange]

It seems that XMAPEDIT allows for team-specific spawn points luckily. I've done everything except add weapons in the bases for team games.

For the life leech turret, the manual briefly explains how to set it up but it seems to be missing information because they don't shoot at me or enemies in game. Do you know of any maps that have a life leech turret that I could reference? If I could see how it's done, I can implement them in my map.

Edit: nvm it seems the life leech turrets don't work in NBlood/NotBlood. They work in DOS I've heard, but I don't want to include them if they'll end up doing nothing on certain ports.

Edit: The flags don't appear in teams despite my settings matching what you've described. The points for each team go up with kills, but there's no flags to capture

For flags, check out my third bulletpoint on page 8 of this thread.

The settings are as you've described. It looks like the flags are actually there and can be captured, but they're invisible. Is there a texture I need to apply to them so they can be seen? I want players to know where the flags are so it'll be more intuitive and fun.

edit: nvm I found the texture and the flags are working. The map should be good for all gamemodes now

There wasn't anything else to write. I kept it simple according to the available information. In previous versions of the manual I state it only works in vanilla Blood. Alas, I don't remember custom maps with the Life Leech Turret activated.

If there's any other relevant info to add to the manual I'm happy to hear it.
