Almost certainly to do with lack of info_player_deathmatch -- we should create a bug issue in https://github.com/actionquake/aq2-tng/issues to address this. It specifically affects jump mode

To verify @MVarland try one of these maps with 3 spawnpoints, and others with 2 spawnpoints. If 2 doesn't work and 3 does, then I think I know what our minimum requirement is:

aries (2) crashes the server closec (2) crashes the server

aboveclouds (3) works cloudx (2) works credits (1) works futis (0) works

Sort of on this topic: I think we should change jump mode to only use teamplay spawns (or have it chooseable somehow. Like jmod spawns tp / jmod spawns dm / jmod spawns ctf ?

[darkshade9]

After playing with how spawning works in general (Espionage specifically) I've come to understand the system a bit better. It tries several different combinations right now to find a spawnpoint, and if one can't be found then the server crashes. This should never happen normally of course. I will take a look at making these maps usable in jmod.

As an aside, CTF mode does a good job of trying everything it can to find a flag spawn, even so far as to converting existing entity classes to flag spawn points so that CTF is possible, but it may not be balanced.

Can you confirm the latest versions are no longer crashing? I've lost track of when I made these changes and whether they're in the latest client distrib or just the servers @MVarland

Latest client distrib working server:latest working server:v46-jmod1 working
