Squad Creation Delay

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

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.

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.

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.
