Map nodes

[SHADO]

I just started playing around with MapView and have a few questions regarding nodes.  Does anyone know how the Flags, Spawn & Links' Dist settings work?

My first question is, Have you watched my Youtube videos and had a look at the How to section on the MODSITE?

I link my nodes by using the scroll wheel, the distance is worked out for you automatically.

Only thing i am unsure of is really, what affect spawn level has in OXC.

spawn level corresponds to alien ranks, i think.

spawn level corresponds to alien ranks, i think.

Which particular setting do you mean by spawn level? There is a spawn setting that controls whether units spawn on the node which can be set from 0-9 and a setting that can also be set from 0-9 with ranks listed next to the numbers.

In making my CULT maps I found I had to set a lot of points to 1:spawn and 0:Civ/scout respectively to get most of the aliens in the deployment to spawn.

set a lot of points to 1:spawn

I am pretty sure i set all my nodes to this also.

0:Civ/scout : this is the rank data. non-zero numbers mean alien of N rank spawns here, zero means any alien with the "scout" flag set (scout flag determines behaviour type), or a civilian (for terror sites)
