Cutting intermission short as admin/ref

(G0-Gerbil) #1

How to?
The intermission screen is an annoying pile 'o shite - it’s there for so darned long.
Clicking ready has never yet had any effect I’m aware of (presumably it DOES work, just there’s always one n00b who won’t click on it, so that’s not a valid method).

Since I quite often ref our server, it would be nice to skip it over. With this in mind I tried

/ref nextmap

only it goes to the next campaign, with reset XP etc. I’m sure you can imagine the players were not too amused when I tried this out :wink:

So what can we do? Is there an intermission CVAR I can change with rcon access, or something I can set in the config?

Any help gratefully used and abused :smiley:

I’d prefer it to be longer. It is tough to get all the way downstairs to get a beer and get back to my computer before the next map has loaded!

I agree with Ako. Sometimes too short for a new cup of coffee.
Must run in the flat. Can be dangerous.

Highly amusing guys - now any chance of a useful reply? :wink:

No useful reply here. Sorry. I used to not like the delay, but I do now. These maps are 20-30 mins long!. When they are over, man, I either gotta pee, smoke, or get a brew before the next map starts!

Well look at it this way - a method to shorten the intermission would also be useful to extend it to make for a decent coffee / beer / full sunday roast meal break :slight_smile:

And it’s a rare map I play on that goes to the full time because I normally play allies :smiley:

The long intermission time only gets on my nerves when im playing Last Man Standing.
Other then that, i have to agree with the others ; after 20/30 mins of intensive :wink: playing, i need a insert any need that could arise within 20 minutes of playing
