Help! How can I set the respawn wait time in TF2?

[gater]

Hi people,
I need to change the wait time for respawn in TF2. Do you know a server cvar or a config line to put in server.cfg?
Thanks all.

you need to load beetlesmod to do that at the moment, there's no native cvar that i know that will change it as the times are hardcoded into each map.

Alternatively you can edit the maps with ented...

There are also some mods which let you change the locked varz.
I would recommend BM, it works very well

I prefer sourcemod myself, but any mod that lets you access those hidden cvars, the one you want is "mp_respawnwavetime". 0 is instant spawn, default is 10.

For sourcemod thre is TF2 Fun Cvar, it enabled respawn time tweak, FF on/off, alltalks on/off, and gravity settings :

you don't need a 3rd party plugin to do that with sourcemod....
you can just do sm_cvar mp_respawnwavetime 5
I like using 5
