Issue with spawns (lobby-side)

[Tekspdy]

Forgive me if the new recent updates have corrected this. I used to play Spring about half a year ago, and the issue my friend and I would always have, is we cannot corner camp together.

Basically, spawning via the map-number system means we are on opposite sides of the map, or if we do the "choose your spawn" option, the AI players always choose their spawn like 20 feet from our base and that makes them too easy to kill.

We basically like to dual up near each other, and one of us rushes, while the other blocks in the bases, so far we've had to run our commander from one edge of the map to the other to make use of this. Sadly doing this though gives the AI time to make some forces to easily kill us when we do that.

So basically, what I'm asking is, have I been a lobby noob, how can we spawn in the same area? Or are the maps that come with Spring designed on purpose to avoid that?

Help is appreciated!

Instead of TASClient, use SpringLobby. In the map tab, to the right under "Startpositions", tick the last, "Chose before game". (Isn't there a mispelling in there?). Then drag and drop the sun, representing you, and the peewees, representing AIs.
