is there a way to set a timed respawn during rounds

[TalonTSM]

just wondering if i could respawn ppl on my server like 5 seconds or so after death or is that not possible??

[Word]

/admin respawn_time 5
(after you've installed sty)

[TalonTSM]

i have been trying to install sty for weeks im trying to avoid it cuz its just problem after problem is there another way?

[DDMJ]

respawning only works with the sty branch, sorry

Or as the very crude hack implemented for testing. For that, you need to compile the server with "-enable-respawn" if it's fresh from bzr/svn or "-DRESPAWN_HACK" appended to CXXFLAGS if it's not. Then you also have the RESPAWN_TIME configuration item.

so how do i do that drespawn hack thing or how would i install sty patch if im using cygwin on windows im all the way to the part where i make but there are errors at the end and please explain it as simple as possible lol

[Z-Man]

Ah. As said in the other thread, cygwin is not supported; it's probably not hard to get it to work if you know your way around, but you'd be on your own there. We use code::blocks with mingw to build stuff on Windows. Search for "Windows development system" on the wiki, you'll find all instructions there.

so how would i "append" this DRESPAWN_HACK to cxxflags???

[Z-Man]

Before you do that, you should compile the source unmodified. Have you found and followed the code::blocks instructions already?

If you have, the easiest way is to open up the file src/tron/gGame.cpp and just add the line

Code: Select all

#define RESPAWN_HACK

somewhere at the top. Or search the file for RESPAWN_HACK, there's a 'uncomment this line to enable respawning' bit you just have to uncomment.

or you can use the build infamous provided, http://fight-clan.org/stuff/Builds/arma ... .win32.exe (it has sty included)
