Someone requested I put a round timer in a CTF map I was working on, and it occurred to me that I wasn't quite sure how long to set it for. What do people feel is a good length to let a CTF match last before kicking it to sudden death?
Question: Round times in CTF
- Thread starter ZargonX
- Start date
Depends on the size of the map really. I'd say anywhere from 10-25 minuetes.
Is it possible to have a setup timer without a round timer? Currently I have my setup timer, but the round timer is there too.
Well, I'm not sure why they want the timer exactly, and I personally don't feel CTF should have an arbitrary limit. So, at the moment I'm rather torn as to whether to add one, so I thought I'd seek some advice from others!

The complaint is probably that your CTF map is not adhering to the server time limits (which in the event of a stalemated CTF round would cause the map to never go into SD or rotate).
See: http://tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=149 You want to be setting setstalemateontimelimit.

That's excellent, Logo! Thanks!
Any ideas on how to get a setup time without a round timer?

you could try an output to disable the timer after the round setup time is complete

This is thread necro, and you use setstalemateontimelimit for ctf maps anyway and it adheres to the server's timelimit.
