Unable To Alter Vehicle Respawn Times?

Post by Dr.Tek »

For whatever reason vehicles are insta-spawning on my (2) servers running B2K map rotations. I have tried changing the Vehicle respawn delay variable via Easy Setup and the config file and nothing seems to work.

Is anyone else having this issue or have a solution to this problem?

Set it for 2-5. 0 caused issues in previous games so I never use it.

The delay value is a percentage of the default, so 100 represents the normal respawn interval. If you set it low thinking that it might represent a count of seconds, that could be the problem here.

Yes I understand that and I'm well aware of how it works. It doesn't matter if I set it to the default value of 100, the vehicles are still insta-spawning. This wasn't a problem until I started running B2K maps on two of my servers.

Once you change the setting are you doing a server restart?

It won't change till the map changes.

NOTE: If you change it in your panel and restart the server and it reverts back, check your startup file.

I was looking at this variable as well, but everywhere I've looked it says that it must stay at 100% in order to stay ranked/hardcore, yet I've seen a ton of other servers with this variable changed.

Is it possible to change this and still stay ranked? Similarly, is there a list of vars that MUST stay the same? I've found 'presets' for each one of the modes, but still not sure if there's additional vars within those presets that can be changed.

any setting falling outside these parameters will put your server in custom in the browser, it will not make your server unranked.

Are not all servers ranked.
Don't think unranked is available.

Ironman44, that's an outdated chart from an old version of the documentation. The current documentation says exactly what we have in our Knowledgebase article here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =70&t=5905. It does not list a requirement for vehicle respawn delay.

Unicornasaurus, just enter whatever settings you want and then click "Set hardcore". The page will fix up anything that needs to be adjusted to get you to show up as hardcore, per the documentation.

Pain, yes, servers can be run in unranked mode. This is an option on the "Easy setup" page. Running the server in unranked mode allows for a few more settings to be adjusted.

You don't list the QM settings in your chart.

Pain, there are no Quickmatch-specific settings, and there actually never were. The previous documentation was in error, and I updated our KB article along with DICE when they fixed the official game documentation.

If you'd like to take a look at the official documentation yourself, it's linked from our Knowledgebase here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =70&t=5901. That link is updated with each new release. The screen shot that Ironman44 posted is from a pre-R9 version, and I can dig around for a link to one of those if you wish, for comparison.

We have more information on Quickmatch in this KB article: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =70&t=5942
