AIPs...?

[TheJamsh]

do you have both:

svrecycpu
svrecy

avrecycpu
avrecy

?? try turning on /odf warnings as well

[General BlackDragon]

yes those work.

instant action works.

I copied the instant action map, and made it mpi.

Is there something i missed on map?

[mrtwosheds]

Yes I suppose if no recy is spawned it looks for an aip that is not there, bzceasy_s.
You probably just need to put the right pathpoints on the map.

[TheJamsh]

i think MPI needs more pathpoints than IA as standard...

i know strats need none, just two pspwn_1.odf things.

[bigbadbogie]

Strat maps are so easy that I could do them in my sleep.

MPI and IA are basically the same you know... just more players on team 1.

[General BlackDragon]

still need an answer as to why.

[Red Devil]

There should be one RecyclerEnemy path point in the enemy base, a Recycler path point in your base, and no pspwn's on the map for MPI.

[GreenHeart]

There should be one RecyclerEnemy path point in the enemy base, a Recycler path point in your base, and no pspwn's on the map for MPI.

You are only required to have one pspwn_1 on team zero for the human team for IA & MPI.

[General BlackDragon]

i have all of that.

[TheJamsh]

there must be something missing.

my lovingly crafter and re-created tranquility MPI/IA/ST map got its .bzn fiel corrupted and wouldnt load because i had named path points wrong. luckily i had a backup

[bigbadbogie]

Save it in ASCII and then you can edit pathpoint names directly in the .bzn file.

[General BlackDragon]

Greenheart, help?

[TheJamsh]

yeh i did, but it still failed...

[Red Devil]

I'm thinking that this is in the map's inf file:

svar3 = "bzceasy_s"

and it needs to be be this:

svar3 = "bzceasy_"

Kinda like groping around in the dark, though.

[General BlackDragon]

maps inf file.
