Trying to add CTF
 

I built a map and it works fine in conquest mode. I wanted to add CTF which I thought would be no big deal. I used Battlecraft and my map is config'ed to work in a mod I built. In BC I checked CTF as a valid game type when I built the map. My 2 main bases have CTF checked and each have the 'flag' box checked. All objects and spawnpoints work fine.

On the first try I had ZERO CTF bases appearing, the were 'invisible'. I tweaked some .con files and got them to show but they were not CTF (flag could not be stolen). I tweaked again, each home base now has 2 flagpoles and both can be taken over by opposing side. I have looked at countless BF maps and tried to duplicate .con settings but it never works.

I have been messing with 4 files - is there a place I am missing?
1. <root>ctf.con
2. gametypes\ctf.con
3. ctf\ControlPointTemplates.con
4. ctf\ControlPoints.con

After this I want to add AI but good grief! I never thought adding simple CTF would be such a pain! Please help me, I give up.

Click on the spawn point you want to be capturable and click the boxes marked capture the flag and the other one that says "Click to make flag capturable"

See if that helps. This should also be in the mapping, modeling, and skinning forum. Moving.
