I have an interesting problem on a new 2-player map i'm making: One of my start points moves itself (see image at bottom):

I've placed them correctly and they display, but when i access the map in the game one of the points moves to a point near the top left of the map. I've checked the .txt and everything and its all fine.

What's funniest about the problem is when i access the map in map edior, the point is in the correct place as of nothing is wrong. Does anyone have any idea what's up? Does the editor just hate me? :lol:

Does the Player also starts in den Nebula wenn you launch a game ?

I suggest to place the starting point new.

And check the Nebula for a point

I've tried replacing the point. No luck i'm afraid. There's no point within the nebula either.

The player doesent actually start within the nebula, they start slightly down and right of it. My guess is the computer is placing them as close as it can without actually placing them inside the nebula (since structures can't be placed in nebulas).

and the map txt looks clear? (no starting point with 2 Points)

otherwishe, delete all starting points and press crtl + r for the map menu and set the number of players again, then place the starting points again and save the map with crtl +s
