Credits to - VJ - for helping me with this one:

You add the following in the mission.sqm

Under class Markers

class Item[Insert Number]
        {
            position[] = {x,z,y};
            name = "NameOfSpawnPoint";
            text = "This is the text players will see";
            type = "ExileSpawnZone";
        };

also don't forget to increase items = x; by how many more markers you are adding

You also need to change the number of items showing (next to classMarkers I think) to however many you have added.

Also, make sure you dont make the mistake I did and put the co-ords in as X, Y, Z. They need to be in as X, Z, Y (horizon, height, vertical)

Scratch that I got it

[iCEtIMed 65]

Your also using the co-ords the wrong way for this. Its all backwards!

Instead of;

     class Item9
        {
            position[] = {17831.3,17980.6,0.00166035};
            name = "SpawnKalithea";
            text = "Kalithea";
            type = "ExileSpawnZone";
        };  

is should be;

     class Item9
        {
            position[] = {17831.3,0.00166035,17980.6};
            name = "SpawnKalithea";
            text = "Kalithea";
            type = "ExileSpawnZone";
        };  

Hope that helps

Instead of scratching that, can you share what you did?  That would be helpful.    (update) I found out the answer and will share it here.  To read/edit an sqm type file like the mission.sqm; download a program called eliteness.  If you open it and it says you are missing something, note which files are missing and get them here https://dev.withsix.com/projects/mikero-pbodll/files
