Race pickup respawn time

[piras]

If I put respawn="0" on a racepickip, does that mean it will stay all the time so it can be picked up straight away, or, does it mean it wont respawn ?

Many thanks.

it means it's availability is unlimited. "it will respawn instantly"

[piras]

Thanks DarkDragon, I thought it was that. But my pickups keep disappearing when I drive through them, could that be because there are too many objects in my map ?

[Dark Dragon]

about how many objects are we talking? it should only cause problems if more than 250 objects have to be displayed at once

[piras]

About 300

I need to remove some anyway so hopefully it will fix tge disappearing pickups when I do, thanks again \o/

Hmm, I got the objects count ( including spawnpoints, checkpoints and pickups ) down to 164 but the pickups still arent respawning. Could that still be too many objects, or possibly something else ?

[Dark Dragon]

maybe something else is wrong. is your race version up to date?

If you want pickups to be there for unlimited time, REMOVE respawn="0" FROM ALL PICKUPS THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP PERMANENTLY. The respawn="0" is the cause of your problems.

Hi nextreme you are right that was the problem. I figured it out yesterday and updated all my maps.

It looks like the editor in 1.0.3 didnt put respawn="0" in the maps (?) but the 1.0.4 map editor does.

There seems to be another problem with the size of checkpoints, they come out twice as big on a 1.0.3 server, for maps made in the 1.0.4 editor, so you have to set the size half what you want. I'll update my server to 1.0.4 ASAP.

[Dark Dragon]

weird if this really fixed it, as i have a lot of maps containing the respawn="0" which work just fine

[piras]

That is weird, is your server running on linux DarkDragon? My server is 1.0.3 on windows. Maybe it depends on wether the server is linux / windows for this to happen...

[Dark Dragon]

works on both platforms for me, maybe updating to 1.0.4 would have done the trick as well
