Yeah, this definetly shouldn't be in off-topic. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Anyhoo, one possible cause of the problem is that your <b>info_team_start</b> entities are probably too close to the floor. They don't have to be touching the floor (<i>in fact, I think it's recommended that they don't</i>), so if that's the case, move 'em up a dozen spaces or so.

Oh yeah, one last thing (before you go), learn to spell the word 'THE' correctly.

entities (such as spawn points) rarely pay attention to other entities when they are created and fall to the nearest solid surface. The answer is to put your spawn point on solid brushes (clip brushes won't do).

another problem is ceeling height.
when you gestate into an onos and ~32 units below u is exactly the needed space for an onos (128 units height) to get stuck, you will get stuck BELOW the platform that you gestated on (like in your map).
the onos hull causes lots of bugs on serveral ceeling heights.

<b>Just avoid ceeling heights between 128 and 192 on most places.</b>

Angel, spawn spots shouldn't be able to fall to the floor (otherwise how would you have all those spawn points in the air on custom maps), however NS does seem to have a bit of a problem with some entity floor surfaces.

There are some spots in some maps where if you gestate you will fall through the entity-floor - it might be possible a similar thing is happening here.
