in game player spawning issue.

Question

in game player spawning issue.

Opened this issue a year ago · 14 comments

I have a slight issue where after exporting my map and loading it into DV, i seem to constantly fall through the graphics.
I have on the extreme odd occasion been spawned where i wanted, 8/10 times i don't however.
The instructions specify x= 0 , y= 0 z= 0. This i have altered slightly as i have water at the height of 10. So My y= 11.
Which Has made No Difference (most of the time) when i do spawn i appear at one of the corners at the height of y= 11 then fast travel to where i want via the in game map.

I have no idea how to remedy this issue, so please advise if possible.

cheers

This MOD is pretty damn neat, i hope i can get jobs to work for it, also [ Another issue i have " cant locate job id/ job station or warehouse machines" in validation report ]

If you spawn at x=0, y=0, you spawn at a corner of the map. If the documentation says that, it should be changed because thats a bad spawn point.
If you want a spawn point that simply works, set the x and y to the middle of the map and the y to something high like 100. You will fall out of the sky but at least you won't spawn underground.

Thanks for getting back to me, i have tried your recommendation, and nothing changed

Even with this change i still spawned right on the edge in the corner of the map.

Okay, confirmed, I also spawn at the corner of the map.

I cant replicate this so it's probably already fixed.

So.... how do I fix this? Lol
Or is it a bug? And something you'll fix? 🤔

If you load a map for the first time it tends to plop you at the corner. After that it usually puts me in the right spawn (the one in the MapInfo asset).

Answer 7 · 2023-12-06T01:49:51.000Z

That hasn't happened to me once. As I said before i always spawn in the corner or off the map completely. 🤔🤯 Don't get me wrong I am having a hell of a lot of fun with this mod, just the spawning issue I seem to have. Regardless of what settings I use. Cheers

I keep the session when changing the map, so it's technically loading a save and not creating a new session. But that puts me where I should be.

Answer 9 · 2023-12-06T03:55:51.000Z

I'll keep trying to fix it. Cheers anyway

One more quick question. If I am in game and edit the map will that work? Or do I need to quit and reload? I'm still having that spawning issue 🤯🥴😑 [I'm still new to this map making]

I haven't tried not actually quiting the game when editing maps, but to be safe I'd assume quit and reload.

Answer 12 · 2023-12-09T07:46:57.000Z

Ok so kinda got the spawning figured out. In sandbox mode player will always spawning in the corner or off the map. [No idea how to fix that] In career mode, chance to spawning at destination programmed in the map.assets settings. But I have now encountered another issue, On random load ups the track sleepers are insanely huge, like 5-6 times what they should be. I haven't changed the default track loading gauge settings.

This bug still occurs

Answer 14 · 2024-12-10T19:40:45.000Z

Check if the "starting scenario" is overriding the spawn position somehow.
