Spawn times questions

(Buckshoe) #1

Hey um has anyone got a link or something to somewhere that lists how long the spawn times are for all the different maps.

Also, I think I’ve heard people mention the command posts affecting the length of the spawn times on certain maps? do they? (if so how much which maps etc)

And lastly do any of the settings or mods type things affect the spawn times?
Like if you put it on competition settings, or if you are playing etpro, or shrubet, or using them new clanbase settings or whatever.

They only effect the time that your recharge bar takes to ehmm… recharge :slight_smile: The bar on the right (normal hud that is) that drains when you use the special function of that class (airstrike, dynamite). It recharges faster if your team has built the command post. As for the spawntimes, i dont know where to find a list, but most maps have a 20 second offense spawntime and a 30 second defense.

All maps bar Railgun are 30 seconds for Axis, 20 seconds for Allies. Railgun is 20 seconds a piece.

… depends Buckshoe. If you are D2A boy :slight_smile: then youll know yourself the deal with configs etc for clanbase games, rtcw.no etc… Spawn times can be set and afaik Clanbase change a few to balance things out along with there other changes… check the config(s) in the etpro 3 paks. Also, go find Heron spawn timer, theyve got them included…

Yeah, I might be D2A boy actually. But I dont actually know this stuff for sure. Tbh I have just gotten into clan gaming after playing just on publics and stuff and stuff like this is just something I am trying to learn to make the transition. I mean I have a general idea what the spawn times are but this whole “getting their spawn times business” requires it to be exact. I could go and test stuff out myself but if there is a webby with it on already that would be easier and if its pretty much customisable or something then testing it out would be a waste of time.

Is HeronET spawn timer. Basically, when you see NME spawn you hit a key. Can set it up to send you an ingame echo (or say, teamsay etc) telling you when its going to open or how long till. Eg, itll auto say “Axis spawn in 5 seconds” or “Axis spawning”.

Use this for a few games and youll soon just learn the spawntimes anyway and just count in your head without thinking… :]

What would be usefull is the same thing but instead itll count down a dynamite plant just to be lazy… :smiley:

Yeah well if I had the script off that spawn timer you posted I could do that pretty easily as I already made a dynamite planting team message script thinger, but… I cant get the link to work tbh. Site works just gives me blak pages if I go anywhere near the download section.

Besides, isnt having a spawn timer meant to be, well if not exactly cheating, still a little bit lame?

I got that program from another site. Its not a script thinger is it, but still if you want a dyno timer and you have gotten used to working out spawn times in your head, then just use heron, set the spawn lenght to 30 secs and change the message that comes up to dyno exploding in etc

Anyway thanks.
