    Respawn Times

    Let's chat about respawn times....

    Currently the server is set to respawn players from 7-9 seconds, I keep tweaking it every so slightly....

    The problem is that with equal respawn times Red will always have an advantage, and red already has an advantage anyway because most players ignore the cart and just play Team DM anyway ...

    I finally found a plugin that should allow me to set the respawn times of the two teams separately, so I'm thinking 5 secs for Blu and 10 seconds for RED...

    I really don't want to go all the way back to default because 20-25 seconds is just to slow and most players HATE that, me and Apache included !!

    So, I'll test the plugin today and implement it either later today or tomorrow morning, and let's see how it works !!

    I agree with Red having a longer respawn time, and 20-25 being way to long. I think I'd make it a total of about a 10 second diff. Blue has to travel quite aways, red very little. But anything would help. Maybe instant for Blue and 10sec for Red. That way it seems quicker to everyone. But Blue definetly needs a time advantage, probably the main complaint I've heard on the server.
    I'm here to kill friends. Do you want to be my friend?

        Those of us that die, a LOT, couldn't live with 20-25 second respawn times. I hope the mod you found works. Giving blue a little quicker respawn would help even it up some.

            Even though I like the instant respawn, I have to agree with Pigworthy.

              I think the new spawn times are great.

                    They really are good !! It is preferable to have different spawn times Red vs BLu, and this plugin lets me do that.

                    Now, we did crash so this plugin may be short lived....

                      The spawn times are great....Im not too sure that the crash would have been caused by this plugin, or it would have crashed earlier today and not just now

                        I like instant spawn. But, the maps are better balanced with the new timer.

                          It is is important to note that we have never run instant-spawn.

                          Before respawn times were 7-8 seconds for both teams, but you could not see any respawn timer.

                          Now it is around 4 seconds for BLU and 10 seconds for RED, which gives BLU a chance to win more rounds.



                          Yeah Z, I hope it was a fluke because I really like this plugin....

                            Just played a few rounds. The respawn times are great! It's much more balanced now.

                            Good work, Cain.

                            Hopefully this isn't causing the crash.
