No. Reasons are you need to calm your tits and not double post… second reason being that if you actually searched, you would have found a tutorial for it.

Didin't know i doubled posted oO.

Anyway, my tits are calm and i did find some tutorial on how to change the starting points, but it didint work.

Thats why im asking for help.

You can't do that in EA, there is nothing like that featured in the engine itself. Just use the boot options in the map editor.

So i cant change my starting locations? Becouse the old location i used to spawn in is bugged and will crash if i spawn in it.

Anyone helpfull here?

This is very simple 

1) Go into the data folder which can be found in the server folder. Open up Classes.ini and add this to the bottom of every class:

StartMap=1

StartMapX=5

StartMapY=5

You can change those values to make players of certain classes spawn in different places.

2) In the server folder, open up the server.vbp file. Once it has loaded, open up the modTypes module (it can be found in the top-right, within the 'Modules' tree.

3) Scroll down until you find 'Private Type ClassRec' and before 'End Type' add in this:

```

startMap As Long

startMapX As Long

startMapY As Long

```

4) Open up the 'modDatabase' module and find the 'LoadClasses()' subroutine. Scroll to the bottom of that subroutine and before:

```

Next

End Sub

```

Add:

```

' get starting map info

Class(i).startMap = Val(GetVar(Filename, "CLASS" & i, "StartMap"))

Class(i).startMapX = Val(GetVar(Filename, "CLASS" & i, "StartMapX"))

Class(i).startMapY = Val(GetVar(Filename, "CLASS" & i, "StartMapY"))

```

5) Below the 'LoadClasses()' sub there will be the 'SaveClasses()' sub. At the bottom of that sub before:

```

Next

End Sub

```

Add:

```

' start map info

Call PutVar(Filename, "CLASS" & i, "StartMap", STR(Class(i).startMap))

Call PutVar(Filename, "CLASS" & i, "StartMapX", STR(Class(i).startMapX))

Call PutVar(Filename, "CLASS" & i, "StartMapY", STR(Class(i).startMapY))

```

6) Find the 'AddChar(ByVal index As Long, ByVal Name As String, ByVal Sex As Byte, ByVal ClassNum As Long, ByVal Sprite As Long)' sub and within that sub find:

```

Player(index).Map = START_MAP

Player(index).x = START_X

Player(index).y = START_Y

```

And replace it with this:

```

Player(index).Map = Class(ClassNum).startMap

Player(index).x = Class(ClassNum).startMapX

Player(index).y = Class(ClassNum).startMapY

```

7) Save the project and compile the server (File>Make Server.exe) and you're done!

For duck sake, getting sick of you haters seriously, is it so hard to be nice? THE GUY IS NEW, you WAS NEW to before. And dude, you tryed the search function? Seriously? I use it everyday, the ONLY topics i get are outdated, with outdated LINKS just linking back the main community page of this forum.

No problem. Have you got it working?

If you've got a bug like that you need to fix it, not just work around it. Otherwise it'll potentially become so deep-routed in your game it'll be incredibly difficult to remove and will put you off finishing your game.

And I'm pretty sure you just change the boot info' as you need.. ?

> No problem. Have you got it working?

Wow! yes, many thanks! now i can continue working on my game better 

so happy that i can understand on how this works! Thanks again!

The place where i used to spawn got bugged by a event i did, and i can't remove the event. when i spawn in that map it says some Sub-script error 9 and i have to close the server.exe

Delete that map (server -> data files -> maps).
