a nice little trick for that, make like a spawning wall, with a row of player starts every 128 or so along the length of the wall... then maybe (if its a REALLY tiny map) do thatt for quite a few walls, the make it symmetrical cuz if u dont il go ocd on ur ass :rub: :roll: as for pathnodes i find it works well just to make a big grid across the map like a spiderweb latuswork of little white lines :P takes forever to build tho as im sure u know >.<

One other thing about pathnodes and mapping.

Don't put path nodes in short and narrow corriders. Since the monsters spawn between pathnodes, the bigger monsters spawn in the small spaces and cause collision errors. Also they can't move :D

In place of pathnodes in areas like that, use adren or mini health. That way the littler monsters will still have a path to take.

Oh and it's not neccessarily 100 "pathnodes' as it is 100 "navigation points". But more pathnodes equals more places for monsters to spawn.
