Really not sure in which thread to ask this, so I'll do so here.

So today I was playing ijed's Quoth map The Palace of Fear in Quakespasm. The map has you start holding the Quoth hammer -- or at least that was the case when I launched the game with "-game quoth +map tpof" (and also when I died and pressed fire to restart automatically).

When I typed "restart" in the console, though, the map would start with the standard shotgun (and with the axe as melee weapon; no hammer).

Does anyone know why this is the case? Is it something engine-specific, Quoth-specific or map-specific, or a general quirk of Quake? 

I think I had the player start on top of the weapon, and this can cause it to drop out. Not sure if its a 100% repro thing or not though :L 

Ah, ok. Thanks for explaining.

Well, for what it's worth, I just tested by restarting the map several times using "restart", restarting it via typing "map tpof" in the console, and starting it upon starting Quakespasm by adding "-game quoth +map tpof". At least on my setup it has so far happened 100% of the time when using "restart", and 0% of the time when using the other two methods.

Weird how it would drop out only when using "restart". What does the game do differently to when one launches it with "+map [mapname]"? 

but that the order of spawning is different when using the ''restart'' command, so when using restart, the player spawns before the hammer, and by the time the hammer is going to be loaded, the player has already fallen to the position of the hammer, so it isn't loaded.

It happened to me too on a map i worked with some years ago which used the same trick to simulate starting items, asked here about it and got that answer, which later checked and got confirmation of it. 

Ah, thank you, Cocerello, that explains it. I searched the mapping help thread to see if I could find your query and I did, plus Preach's response:

And thanks again for responding earlier, ijed.

He must be old school. He's using ProQuake. But it isn't modern ProQuake either, looks like GL ProQuake 3.50. 

Ah, I guess it is modern version of ProQuake. Had a "Name Maker" in the setup menu. 

Have you tried anus analyzer ??

It logs me out as soon as I click on the "reply" or "quote" buttons. It's impossible to post in there.

I just posted there in a trivial reply to a post Spike did less than an hour ago. 

Hm. I attempted to create an user there about 1 month ago, and still haven't received any response, positive or negative, from the moderators/admins/whoever is in charge. Was starting to think nobody loved me there :( . 

There was a hack on the side that changed from inside3d to InsideQc.

Maybe this kinky link can be of convience? 

I know it was a few days ago, since it keeps coming up as a bug, I thought I'd write a proper blog post about the items falling out of the map when you use the restart command.

Then I fixed the bug, just for a bit of fun. 

Great post, Preach! I wasn't able to follow the code parts, but the rest explained things very clearly.

Thank you!
