I'm posting this on behalf of another server administrator, and it's an odd situation, not something I've ever come across before so I've no idea what to suggest to him.
The scenario: a server running BT++994, Nexgen 112N, CheckPoints and MapVoteLA13. I'm not sure whether it's UT451 or 436. The issue he's having - and I've observed this first-hand - is that CheckPoints aren't "working" for some of the players who come to his server (he is one of those affected). He demonstrated this to me. We played BT-Mesablanca, he moved a short distance from the spawn area, he set a CheckPoint and suicided, but instead of respawning at the CheckPoint, he restarted at one of the player start locations.
It gets weirder. When *I* and another player present at the time set CheckPoints, they worked perfectly correctly for both of us. Stranger still, the problem only seemed to occur when he (the admin) was on the red team, CPs worked fine when he was on blue. He tells me that it is affecting at least one other player, and assures me that the effect is not limited to a single map, that it happens on other maps too.
I'm trying to make sense of these symptoms, but I really can't figure out what might be going on. Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks in advance

Re: CheckPoints -> not working for some players?
If you have a mystart, it will override the cp you made but still there. Try typing clearstart and then u could go back to your cp. Sometimes it won't work like that.

Edit: Prefer you use a mutator that stops them being able to cap while using teleports than disabling the use of them.
if you really need it I'll post it here but not forever
Spoiler
Code: Select all
Function ModifyLogin (out Class<PlayerPawn> SpawnClass, out string Portal, out string Options) { Portal = ""; if ( NextMutator != None ) { NextMutator.ModifyLogin(SpawnClass,Portal,Options); } else { Super.ModifyLogin(SpawnClass, Portal, Options); } }
