Spawn file help?

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there's a way to guarantee spawn files to spawn in missions?

I've tried everything and can't seem to get them to work

Anyone have any advice for me?

What is the problem exactly, which type of spawn are you trying to make working?

I'll not be able to see your problem before some time, I'm going to Brittany for Christmas.
 
You can open the mission file with notepad and change the spawns to stock ones, just replace the name with one that is located in the spawns folder. There is a bunch of them and I'm not sure which one does what, but it should work if that is what you're trying to do.
 
I'm trying to guarantee that the spawned aircraft will show up in missions all the time.

For the BoB series I'm working on, I'd like to have RAF aircraft taking off as the player approaches the attack waypoint

Hi Grover1, take a look at the stock New Years Bash mission file. The mission follows an historical event in early 1945(?) when some FW109s set out to "bounce" an allied airfield on New Years Day. In the stock mission, Spitfires spawn reliably on the runway, so take a look at the requisite spawn files. Looking at the stock spawn files will show how to get aircraft spawning on the runway for takeoff. You can use that as an approach to come up with your own individual ideas and spawn files, or else you could try something pretty close to the stock version.

HTH,
