Squad Creation Delay

[gclark03]

Is there some Python parameter for setting a squad creation delay at the start of a round? If it could be set to 30 seconds, for example, the squad bug could be eliminated (almost) completely.

i can't figure out why they do a delay of 2:30 if they are worried about squad bug and want you to do squads at 1:30 why not start the delay at 1:30

there is some script. i don't know if it works though.

3 minute delay is there to allow people with slow computers start the round from the same line as those with high-end rigs. So when you have stared the counter for the past two hand a half minutes, some people are still loading the map.

Correct, it would ruin the game for most people including me who get in at like :30 left. Servers like [T&T] ask you not to set them up till after 1:00 is left.

You seem to have misunderstood me.

The delay only prevents players from using the "Create Squad" or "Apply" button, not from having the 3-minute preparation time.

yes there is a delay, server side script I believe, this is to help with the squad bug. I forget the time but I think its about 60 sec.

In what version? The squad bug still exists in 0.8...

Can get all the roaches out of the kitchen

Is that the one that gives the unable to create squad like message that you'd usually get when all 9 squads had been made? I remember being very confused then loads of squads popping up from nowhere a while ago, but not seen it being used on any servers I've joined recently.

[General_J0k3r]

i think it just kicks the guy who has created the squad. this is said to fix the squad bug sometimes as well

Oh yeah I know about that script, just pretty sure I'd come across a different one before.
