Disable waitingforplayers que in Arena maps

ThatGuy · **Author**

It's nothing special or fancy, I just made it for my server. Whenever I have arena maps on, the map will not start unless i am there to manually type "mp_waitingforplayers_cancel 1". And I can't always be there, so eventually everyone would leave.

The plugin simply waits for an arena map to startup and it executes that command, and unloads itself so it wont be spammed.

I'm sure there might be better ways to do this, but like I said.. It's just something I made for my server, and I know some people have the same problem I do.

I give credit to devicenull for making his "Full arena teams" plugin, I just modified it.

EDIT:
What's the difference between this one and the Full Areana one?

When I ran his, it didn't fix this problem, i still had to cancel the waiting time.

His plugin just increased the players per team, and allowed it to be more then 11v11.

I run this small plugin here and bl4nks arena extension, works swell.

Thanks for the fix

Thanks I do the same, and it is working great. What are some of the other important Arena mode cvars?

Couldn't you just use map specific configs that set "mp_waitingforplayers_time" to 0?

Didn't work when I tried it. Then again, I couldn't get map specific .cfgs to work at all in TF2.

You place them in the cfg folder using the map name (~/tf/cfg/cp_dustbowl.cfg).

I tried doing arena_lumberyard.cfg , no luck. I even rebooted the server and tried it.

Er? you sure it can be done by map specific cfgs? I can't replicate it myself.
