Spawn Locations do not properly load.
Making a thread on this. Sorry for the mess. But seriously, you should put up a central way to report bugs on the site. It wasn't fun hunting for this group and figuring out how to report bugs.

The new MvM Wave Generator will not load spawn locations, whether I am loading from an external file or whatever the "Load" button loads from or loading an official file. The site will not highlight the spawn locations that are set in the files and when one hits the "Test" button without trying to fix this, it will generate a file that doesn't have any locations set.

This wouldn't be a critical problem if I didn't have to go and set the spawn location of every single squad if I want to test a loaded file.

That's priority. On the offhand, I have noticed that base "demoman" icon does not render properly. I just get the loveable purple and black "missing texture" whenever there'd be a demoman icon. And I cannot for the life of me get a Giant Scout's icon to appear red, even though he has the MiniBoss tag.

Right now I, and a lot of other people, cannot get the wave generator to friggin work. So the sooner you can fix the loading issues the better.

To be specific: The site does not highlight spawn locations when you load something, and the site will assume no spawn locations are set unless you try to fix this yourself. (Which also seems to be finicky.)

Least now I can edit this report.

I kind of meet that also whenever i maked a mission. And since the spawns were automated in the older version i didn't try to hightlight them(when they blue like attributes) and after i maked it and look in the popfile no spawns are set. So yeah that is kind the problem . Nice that someone posted some bugs.

Yeah, it's been really buggy lately. For me, no bots even spawn anymore no matter what the settings. I'd use the old site but I'm trying to do a mannhatten mission and it really messes up with the gatebots

BREAKING NEWS:

I loaded up the base Normal mission (crash course) of coaltown on one of the servers, and weird things happened:
1) Spawn locations ALMOST worked. The first 2 waves spawned just fine but the tank on wave 3 crapped out. Nothing was highlighted, but spawns worked.
2) One of the icons was broken in wave 2 and I THINK it was heavyweight champ. Memory's sketchy.
3) Sometimes I will pick the spawn location just fine but it still won't work. Only by completely remaking the squad does it parse. Something's getting screwed up when the .pop file is generated.

This has led me to believe "spawn locations not highlight != spawn locations don't work". So the problem's going to be a lot more complex.

See this is just weird for me because it was working perfectly a few nights ago, but suddenly with the exact same settings for most of it, literally nothing will spawn. I'm beginning to wonder if it's the generator files conflicting with game files in the newest update

Well it doesnt get confusing unless your making a mannhattan wave...then your in trouble.

About getting to mannhattan... I noticed that: I maded one mission for mannhattan and tested it here, we won 1 wave but we losed one gate. This gate after finished this wave was still opened and during next wave robots was coming from that gate. This need to be fixed
