The CBasePlayer::Spawn() function will call the gamerules PlayerSpawn() function when the player spawns into the map. For single player, this should wind up in CHalfLifeRules::PlayerSpawn() (which is by default empty). You could send your screen fade message from the PlayerSpawn() function and this wouldn't effect multiplayer.
