Update: Still working on it when I can xgzoq. Dealing with the truly bad weather this fall is reducing the time I have to work on these waypoints.

- I have fixed the path to the radar mg42nest construct.

- And I have been testing positions for alt-roams for routes. This allows me to check other difficult paths (e.g. getting on top of the fuel bunker roof). In static testing using alt-roams at the rocket fuel room door levers work well. However the success rate will depend on whether they are fired upon (bots stop following routes if they fight along the way). I expect the axis will be more successful in closing the door than the allies will be in opening it because the axis can get to the inside switch protected from being attacked.

RESPAWN DISTRIBUTION:
I have been testing positions for team_WOLF_objectives so we can have the teams split their respawns in 2-3 places. Best combinations so far;

Case 1: When Axis have the depot flag and Allies have the main entrance(gate) spawn.

For a respawn of 12, 1/2 the axis respawn at the depot, 1/3rd at the ramp bunker and 1/6th at the radar near the fuel. Or for a respawn of 4 50%(2) at the ramp bunker 25%(1) at the depot and 25%(1) at the Radar near the fuel. (Specifically in a respawn the 1st 2nd 5th 12th players/bots are at ramp bunker, 4th 10th at radar and 3rd 6th 7th 8th 9th 11th at the depot) Since 4 bots respawning is much more likely than 12 I think this is a good mix. Unfortunately I can't make the bots choose camps based upon where they respawn.

Case 2: When axis lose the depot flag to allies

For a respawn of 12, 1/2 the Axis respawn at the ramp bunker and 1/2 at the radar. For a respawn of 4, the axis respawn 75% at the radar and 25% at the ramp bunker. (specifically 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 9th and 12th are at the Radar and 3rd 5th 6th 8th 10th 11th are at ramp bunker)

I still have to test splitting the allies between the main entrance and depot spawn.

Timeframe: I will not have any WIP updates this weekend but will try to get one for next weekend if the weather quiets down.
