If it is set as an item spawn it will. Otherwise :rtfm: specifically this page. (http://www.wireheadstudios.org/generations/manual/server.html) Scroll down to the DMFLAGS section. Remember, you can callvote DMFLAGS so if you're playing CTF and you don't spawn with a grappling hook handy, callvote dmflags 8256 ( powerups drop, weapon grapple). If you want CTF techs and hook, callvote dmflags 10304 ( powerups drop, ctf techs, weapon grapple).

Happy fragging.

:thumb: Thanx Phoenix it now works a treat.
You are right I should read the manual but unless you know what you are looking for it don`t make much sense. O_o
Anyway I`ve converted the Q2ctf8 map for Q3, i`ve done a levelshot but it`s not showing up in the map list, just a blank line, do you know what file I have to edit to get it to show up???.

First of all doing a mecanical conversion of any map is illegal just as you know... to make a map to show up in gen/q3 you have to create a file called "mapname".arena file it's just a simple text file using the .arena extension

An eg. of this whould be:

Code:

 {
map "q2ctf8"
bots "doom grunt"
longname "Name of this level"
type "ctf "
}
