Well, if you are spontaneously dieing repeatability without any chance, I think you need to compile your map.

You need to hit the "build all" button in the upper right corner of the editor. You may also find this button through the menu bar in the "build" menu.

As for the adren part, you just need a map that has the super adren pill and copy it over to your map ;)

[InfinetyX]

the part about the adren i didnt know yet but anyways will look for a map :p

The second part, i always do "build" thats the weirdest thing about it, since i used to make maps on ut99 i kinda
know how o build a map :p
but this is the first time this is happening to me :/

When I get in the game, all I and my bots do is die. What's up?

* You didn't rebuild. Do it.
* In UT2004 make sure that the KillZ level (ZoneInfo or Level Properties?) is set correctly. Spawning below that level causes instant death.
* It is possible you only have one playerstart, thus making a pile of bots and you spawn onto each other making a mass telefrag. (this no longer happens in UT2004)

When you say 'Build', are you sure you mean 'Build all'? Otherwise it could be any of the above three.

AdrenMart has several different types of adren

Custom adren pickups are under TournamentPickup -> AdrenalinePickup and the SuperUDamage is under TournamentPickup -> UDamagePack.

How to place them in your map (and stop them disappearing):
1. Open both above maps in UnrealEd
2. Open up your map without closing the Ed
3. Place a spawn for each type of adrenaline anywhere in your map (preferably somewhere that doesn't interfere with the actual map). The reason for this is so that the data from the custom stuff (scripting, textures, meshes etc.) is kept in YOUR map. You can then setup your spawns without having to dip back into either map to get the adrens back in your actor list. When you've finished, delete those original spawns.

Well i always do rebuild all so that wont be the problem,
And even like when i start my lvl from game itself, it gives the same, even without telefragging LOL :P
so i tried with "killall bot" and got the very same effect..
i also tried to put them on different places but didnt change a thing :(

When they die, do they just...dissapear (no corpse/sound FX) or is there animation, gore, and all that good stuff?

Yeah, Orbital has several external resources needed for it to be played (Like the portal gun).
Adren Mart should be okay. You will be missing some static meshes from that map, but you can still load it up through the editor ;)

Okay, the issue is that your player start is below the Zkill. To "see" your Zkill, simply go to your side viewports & zoom out. You notice the red line going across? That's the Zkill. That thing will literally remove every single actor in the game from projectiles to monsters to live players. You got two choices to fix this:
Raise your entire map where your playerstarts are above it.
-or-
Lower the bar, itself.

To lower the bar, open the level properties. You can find the level properties through the menu bar in "View" category.
Once you got into the properties, go to ZoneInfo category--->ZKill--->**lower Value here**
The Value will set the plane's Z location so the higher the value, the higher the line...The lower, the lower the line.

Now keep this in mind. This property you adjusted through the level properties is only for the zones that remain undefined in your map. If you place Zone portals, then you have to adjust the Zkill for those, too. Don't worry though. You can select All Zone Portals and adjust them all at once :D

[InfinetyX]

well, i putted the lvl alot higher so i was sure that i was above Zkill

BUT now when i build all, and then play i am fine,
but when i start from the game itself its still not workin g like it should >< :P
hope someone can help me again :)

Can you see it in the menus or is it crashing once you load it?
