Did you save your map as

combat.mi in the MULTI section of the save file list in the editor?

If so, you want to know how tomake a combat map? Simply load up another Combat map already in game...then go to the edge of the map and find the spawn point markers..I believe the are the purple arrows on the board edge...take notes as to how they are written in the panel on the right..at hte bottom there is a list like

team A
spawn a1

then a bit further down there is another little part with something in ti...simply copy that method and you should end up like on a 4 player map

Team A
Spawn A1

Team A
Spawn A2

then you go to the other side or w/e you want to put Team B and put

Team B
Spawn B2

Team B
Spawn B2

Or however the game has it written..ive not made map in awhile and didnt remember the way to set it up exactly but go to an already made combat and take notes. (To find those spawn arrows you can type in "Spawn" at the bottom or something and it should take you to the spawn point arrows in the list) You dont need waypoints for MP Combat.

Also, if you need the game to recognize your map go into Localization/missions.lng

In there is a list of all the Mutliplayer maps in game...go to the bottom and follow suit, but smply put your map at the bottom of that list. Make sure to use the file name for your map and put it in lower case..the game likes lowercase for some reason...then the part just below it you can put your map name as you want to see it in the map list in game

I forget just how it looks but for me its something like

{
{"erlenberg"}
{"Erlenberg"}
{
{"smoldering_steel"}
{Smoldering Steel"}
{

Hope that helps a bit..ive not been in the editor for awhile and alot of that stuff I do a memory dump on until im back in the editor lol.
