Open the .lvl file for the map (download them at game-maps.net) and then move the start-up spawners around.
Once you've done that, go "save-as" and save the lvl file somewhere. It will create a .lsd and .ldd file. Put the .ldd file in the data directory fo the server, then load the map. The spawn positions will be changed to whereever you moved them.

Got the .lvl maps, thanks for that. I open the maps and i get a message box appear about "missing presets". I click ok and the whole program stops responding and shuts down. Am i missing anything?

Yes, i have The First Decade installed. I came across some posts concerning TFD and finding the install path, but i have not needed to change anything.
Going to install level edit on my netbook, i have the renegade game, not tfd, installed on that
Doesn't want to install on my netbook, figures.
Level edit HATES TFD
I have installed the single copy of renegade on computer and it seems to have gotten around the presets thing by loading them. Is there any easy way to navigate around level edit?
Getting used to leveledit now. Erasing all spawn points and adding them back in manually should make things easier. ANyway thanks for help once again Reborn
