Hi all,

Just started running a SOAP DM server a week ago, and have it set as mp_timelimit 20.

Problem is, when the limit is reached, the server just changes maps, and I would like it to either alert players, eg, 30 seconds before the map ends that its about to end, or even better, showing the scoreboard for X seconds and then changing.

I've looked into some events, and even though this (tf_map_time_remaining) would seem to be exactly what I need, hooking that does not seem to actually do anything when the plugin is running.

Is it possible to do this (and maybe a plugin already exists, and I just can't search worth a damn), or could anyone throw me some pointers as to what events / methodology I should use to accomplish this? (I have done a handful or so plugins, but I am not very well versed in the inner workings of TF2 or sourcemod yet)

I find it really strange that the map would just change... is this something built into SOAP DM? Normal TF2 does show the scoreboard for a time before the map changes across all game modes that I'm aware of (ctf, cp, 5cp, koth, pl, plr, tc, arena).

It might be, I haven't looked into the source, I just assumed that this had something to do with setting mp_timelimit.

But does it show when timelimit is set? Normally you would play to a certain number of round wins, if i'm not mistaken?

Yes, provided it's not going into Sudden Death like it does on a tied 5cp or ctf map.

There seems to be some handling of mp_timelimit in the SOAP DM code, this might have something to do with it.
