Time Limit Question

(Cookie) #1

Hi, I run trickjump maps on my server, but a few of them have ungodly time limits. I was wondering if there was a way, through the pk3 or elsewhere to edit the time limit. It’s been getting annoying having to change the time limit through ref everytime the map changes. I don’t create maps so i don’t know the inner working of the map scripts, but i can find my way through a pk3. Thanks.

Note you shouldn’t change anything without the mappers permission. However if you change the pk3, rename it with a new name (for example add _fix etc. to the end…), otherwise they will get messed up. For this issue, open the .script file from the maps folder with notepad, look for the line

wm_set_round_timelimit  xx

change the numbers to the amount of minutes you want to have and save. Then you might need to do this also for the .arena file. Founds from scripts folder, open with notepad, search for the line

timelimit xx

and change this value too. I’m not sure which one of these (or both) you have to really modify, as I’ve always set them both with the same value for my maps. …Just change them both… :smiley:

tip:
there is an option with jaymod to run your script. Than you only have to copy the script of the pk3 file and paste it in an .script file with the same name as the script file inside the pk3 file. Than can you change the timelimit in the script files. :wink:

This is for trickjump server. You must be nuts to tj with jaymod. Etpro is the one and only for tj. 8)

edit. There is a way for etpro too to change timelimit for each map without modifying pk3 I think. Server script side, read about mapscripts for servers. It’s used for comp play for example. But I’ll leave that for the ppl with more experience on it.

Thanks for the fast replies. I’ll try to get in touch with the mappers before I change anything.

EDIT: I’ve learned how to do it through scripts. Thanks for the help.
