If it does not work, should I go through it in debugger?

Yes, probably using  @datiswous's latest test map. And maybe more clues will appear: @nbohr1more just asked datiswous whether it is possible to narrow down which dev version broke things.

And startpos2 should be the name of some entity.

That is the name I gave to the second info_player_start entity that I created in the testmap (located next to a bucket).

If you can please bisect down to which 2.10 dev build caused the breakage, it will be easier to fix things:

It still worked on 2.10 dev16335-9550

It stopped working on 2.10 dev16342-9552

 

Not surprising maybe:

dev16342-9552

* Merged branch with major changes in main menu GUI (5323, thread).

Known problems: All the missions from the list do not work as expected in main menu: custom background is missing, empty briefing page is shown, in rare cases even briefing/debriefing video can disappear. This will be properly fixed only when 2.10 is released. Right now you can download fixed pk4 file by direct link from the same page --- fixed version should work as expected.

I fixed it in svn rev 10348.

What was the fix? I mean can you quote the code change?

I'll have to figure out how to make a better example gui, which can then be added to the wiki.

Changed the type of gameLocal.m_StartPosition from "const char*" to "idStr".
Purely technical thing.

I just accidentally found this does actually work under 2.11, but just not the first time you run the mission. So first start the location selection doesn't work. If I quit the mission and try again it works.

Doesn't matter.
