ENT bot spam frequency

[iightfyre]

Does anyone else find it difficult sometimes to chat in the lobby because the bot is spamming "3 more players until game automatically starts"?

I feel that these messages are displayed far too frequently. Any insight on the possibility that maybe the bots spam this message less frequently? I think 98% of the players in game lobbies understand that the game is on auto start anyway.

Thanks for your time

I've never counted the time delay between the messages, but I agree it's kind of short. Unfortunately for uak, I think that message is coded into the bot (not changeable via ghost.cfg) so it would have to be a custom change to the actual bot. I could be wrong on that though.

I think at least 10 seconds would be nice, if not 15.

It's currently every ten seconds:

Code: Select all

   // try to auto start every 10 seconds

if( !m_CountDownStarted && m_AutoStartPlayers != 0 && GetTime( ) - m_LastAutoStartTime >= 10 )
{
StartCountDownAuto( m_GHost->m_RequireSpoofChecks );
m_LastAutoStartTime = GetTime( );
}

I could make it try to autostart every five seconds instead, and then make the message only appear every once in three times that it tries to start the game.

^^ i would like this feature. it can get annoying but its no big deal either. most of the times games start relatively fast.

That sounds like a good adjustment uakf.b - thanks for your time as always!

This should be added the next time host bots are restarted.
