CTF flag settings

Post by TacTicToe »

What number would I set the server to if I wanted 6 flags for a CTF round?

This isn't officially documented anywhere, but I believe that retrofitted what we call "Tickets given:" on the Easy setup page to do it.

Since 3 is the default number of flags... (100 / 3) * 6 = 200

So, set vars.gameModeCounter to 200 for 6 flags. :)

Yes, I think so. Let me know if it works, though :)

Also, vars.ctfRoundTimeModifier at the default value of 100 is 20 minutes. I tried setting it to 150 on my server for a 30 minute timer but unfortunately that variable is currently broken and has absolutely no effect in this server version. They will have it fixed in the next server update, though.

vars.ctfRoundTimeModifier is another variable that was added but which they didn't document. Thanks for the report that it doesn't work -- I was wondering.

They did document some other variables that some utilities will find useful, like "player.ping". Until now, utilities had to try to guess what ping players had; now, they can get it from the server.

You guys were talking about multiple flags in one round (unless I misunderstood). Is it possible to have more than 1 flag per team?

We were talking about flag captures. The default (vars.gameModeCounter 100) flag captures is 3. He wanted 6 flag captures so he had to do the default vars.gameModeCounter value divided by 3 times his 6 flag captures to get the value (which ended up being 200) that he needed to set to vars.gameModeCounter in order for his server to be set to 6 flag caps... (100 / 3) * 6 = 200
