Spawn Timers

[DispenserHere 0]

Not sure if this is the same on the other Lotus servers, but on the Goldrush #1 East Coast servers the respawn time has switched. It's left the attackers timer the same as the defenders, leading to a lot of stalemate games. Not sure if this is a Valve issue with their latest patch or just a glitch on the Lotus servers. Anyone know?

I dont have the answer but, that would be very strange if it were a value issue. Most likely a plugin of theirs got bugged or something, although I think lotus likes to use default spawn times for all servers which means it shouldnt really be a plugin.

Yes, happens for sure on GR1. Offensive spawn timer is sometimes 20 seconds. Played for over an hour the other day with decent players and offense didn't get past the first stage once.

Any direction on whether the respawn timers will be returned to the previous config or is this the way it will be going forward?

Both DBowl Chicago and West Coast have Blue offense timers at 15+ seconds at times.

Unfortunate if it stays this way....

seems to be on all lotus servers, i haven't been on any others lately, so i dunno if it's all around, hopefully it gets fixed soon. I think it may have been mana messing around with respawn timers, at least that's what the talk is on stocks 2

Well, it looked as though the spawn timers were fixed last night (Saturday), but this afternoon they're back to 17 second offense blue respawns.

Time to find somewhere else to play...

I can confirm this problem on the Lotus UK Dustbwol server , respawn times for blu is 17-20 seconds , sometimes it's 3 seconds and sometimes death after death 17-20 seconds.

I was on stage 3 attacking and working fucking hard to win the game and the whole 16 players team got 20 seconds respawn time , we eventually gave up and coudlnd't win the game because of the respawn.

For the retards who want no respawn (like on UKCS or some other bullshit server ) or like it like this let me explain it , the logic is this , blu at some point has to walk some ground to reach the next point/cart , red gets closer to the action with the respawn time around the corner , it's normal for the blu to have reduced respawn time because it has to

1. walk more ground

2. HAS to attack to win and can't camp a corner like the red's

Valve like they change damage and attributes to classes in order to balance the game they too made that respawn time with some balance in mind so both teams can win.

The servers who mess with the balance Valve worked hard for ( UKCS ) are just gay , in no respawn time servers is almost impossible to get past stage 1 in dustbowl if both teams are good , good players play only red because this way they always win , how gay is this , and they actually like it , they come to lotus and they are like WTF is wrong with the respawn .

Now in the manner we are used to hopefully someone can fix this in the next years , i know no one gives a fuck about this but please , it's probably just a few command lines , a few minutes from your life Mana.

I think it's just these servers. I haven't seen such a long blu respawn time on other servers.

Is the respawn time something that can be controlled by the server, or is it set by valve?

[Brokkoly 11]

its something to do with the bots, that's what i've heard

[a_puma01 7]

these longer spawn timers suck, i've had 25 Second respawns! =(

As usual the problem isn't fixed after 2 weeks , i told you people ,expect to be resolved in a few months , the stats got back after a month or so , it's very very hard to type some command lines or edit a cfg.

Mana will get to it at some point. Maybe

[Spartan_0214 18]

Mana was on Stocks 2 yesterday experimenting with spawn timers. Expect global Lotus Clan timer change soon.

It's a Valve Bot bug. You don't just simply edit a command line to fix it. You have to find out what the problem is and then make a C++ server plugin detouring the function which causes the problem and fix it there.

My apology's , it seems the problem is solved now on my fav server.

Sorry Mana for my outburst , it's just that i love your servers so much that i hate it when things don't work. Despite the recent spawn time problem i still think you have the best servers for TF2 and the best connection.

We now have a server plugin which fixes this issue. Should be good on all servers after a few map changes.

[Brokkoly 11]

fine now

Only problem with the GR1 server now is the cart glitch on stage 3. I don't know how it happens but if the cart gets like half way down the last stretch towards the final point, the cart explodes for no reason and Blu wins.

Also, I think the AFK auto-kick stopped working too.
