maybe you could incorporate the A.I way points into the basic spawn points and team spawns
this would make it easier for more inexperienced players able to make maps
just an idea :)
Indeed these are two things in the game that often confuse people.
Ai waypoints are a necessary procedure and can't simply be fused with the spawpoints. The name is misleading; What this procedure actually does is calculate the available paths from one point to another, for multiple points in the map. As such, it can't be removed, however I can add a message about them whenever the player tries to test the map without waypoints.
The need to download the maps is not obvious either. Built-in maps are a solution I thought of, too. However I don't want people to keep playing the same maps all the time and be unaware of the new maps constantly being published. I might add an ingame message for that too.
Thanks for the suggestions!
