I cant answer this but I'm very curious about it to.
I cant believe how many maps have had to be taken off our new map server do to spawn killing problems.
Over half of all the new maps we've tried had to be removed for spawn problems or glitches.
It's always amazed me how long a person will spend to make a new map.
Then save some time by only having one spawn point for each side.

You can edit them tho with a user made one ,possibly best to email the author about it.
It could turn nasty if you edited a user made map.

Im still hunting for the tutorial on editing spawnpoints in a BSP soon as i get it i will post it.

Editing the spawn points could very well mess things up a great deal. To avoid problems you'd really have to save the map under s different name. A server running a PK3 with modified spawns points, user 1 joins with the unmodified map, I think that would cause the same type of problems as having two different versions of the same map. I had that happened once and it was not a pretty picture....well up until my game crashed that is.

I seen with Scorpios Monastery beta ,one guy joined the server with a bsp that no bridge.

He had to be shown where the bridge was ,was invisible to him but was there.
but that was brushes and not entites.
No clue what would happen if an entity was moved.

there is such a thing as a bsp editor. i used it to change the spawn points in the hunt map. i dont have a link to it but it is out there and yes it can be done. its fairly simple. copy the bsp file of your map to another folder. make your changes and switch out the bsp files.

Hey guys we have been adding spawn points to maps for quite some time now its easy. We do it in a manner which tries to give each team a "spawn area" which is a little more spread out yet still together on its own end of the map. This way its not as easy for Spawn Killers to sit in your spawn because you will simply spawn in another part of the "spawn area" where the SK cant see you.
You dont touch the original map, its all done in a addon pk3. All server side. Check out the Guide written by [OTD]Rindog here:
