Force random spawn on a map other then Namalsk

[InsertCoins 333]

Hi, 

I've been reading up but can't get this to work. I want players to spawn at random locations, i.e. no spawnpoint selection.

I've set parachutespawn to 0, but still get the spawnselect window etc. What am I doing wrong?

have you removed all the map markers for the spawn zones in your mission.sqm?

no sir, I have not. Will try that!

Thanks!

Removing the spawnpoints from the mission file however worked like a charm.

When I used this it just spawns me in Kamenka, removed Kamenka from spawn markers, spawns me in the ocean.

Also I have multiple spawn zones.
