In a freshly downloaded MS4 the map respawns even when players on are the map.

Private Sub UpdateMapSpawnItems()

Find:

Code:
' Make sure no one is on the map when it respawns
        If Not PlayersOnMap(y) Then


Change it to:

Code:
' Make sure no one is on the map when it respawns
        If PlayersOnMap(y) = NO Then


Fixed.

It would be better to just make PlayersOnMap a boolean.

(boolean is faster than byte)

Not really. A byte is a variable with a value between 0 and 255, (256 total)

A boolean is a variable with a true or false value

Public PlayersOnMap as Boolean

Usage:

Toggle - PlayersOnMap = True or PlayersOnMap = False

Check - If PlayersOnMap = True Then or If PlayersOnMap = False Then

Most of the checks we do are If Byte = 1 Or Byte = 0...those need to be Boolean = True or Boolean = False.

There's a small downside, Booleans take more memory than Bytes. Not that much more, but it's still considered a down side. Speed over memory usage.

Takes two bytes, I believe.

Its such a minor difference (in speed, and memory) does it really matter?

Yeah any loss is still a loss. If I lose 2$ instead of 1$...oh it's not that much of a loss, but still that's 50%...

You're looking at it like you're just fucking lazy. Any optimization is better, no matter 10 milliseconds faster or 1000 milliseconds faster is something that should be done.

Wouldn't that be a 100% loss?

no...
2$ = 100%
-1
1$ = 50%

aka: 1$ is 1/2 of 2$, and 50% is 1/2 of 100%

Technically, losing $1 would be a 100% loss. Losing $2 would be a 200% loss.

Since those are the only variants involved.

Who cares? The point is any optimization is good.

We have to take this thread off topic. It's the MS way. Quit trying to make us think like programmers, damnit! :D
