spawn timer adjustable?

[Ozz13]

I thought the spawn timer wasn't adjustable via .cfg but a clan mate claims to of been on an 8 second server. Possible to set time and if so, how?

Thanks!

Spawn timer is controlled with the cvar:

Code:

mp_freezetime x

where x = however many seconds.

Appreciate the help, uber cool, but what is Cvar? Me=noob at srcds

CVar stands for Console Variable, in other words a pointer that can be set for the server to change the operation of it, in this case the time you can buy and have to wait for the round to start.

Just add that line:

Code:

mp_freezetime 5

or however many seconds into your cstrike\cfg\server.cfg

Sorry, this is for TF2. Still work for that?

TF\cfg\server.cfg ?

[Muppet]

Should work, unless theres a new TF2 cvar for that. But yes, tf2\cfg\server.cfg

Very cool, this site rocks. Thanks for the help!

Try adding this to your startup parameters:

Code:

+mp_respawnwavetime 0

[Ozz13]

Where would start up parameters go on a rented dedicated server? Startup parameters isn't server.cfg, correct?

[Muppet]

I assume you are clicking a .bat file or .exe shortcut to start the server. Assumung the latter, right click on it, properties, and in "Target" the line should be something like:

Code:

c:\tf2\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -tickrate 100 +maxplayers 16 +ip <blah> -port 27015 +mp_respawnwavetime 0

You can set mp_respawnwavetime in the server.cfg too

Does that work for you?

Seems to be the same thing as mp_dynamicpricing for me - never seems to work no matter where you put except from startup parameters.
