/say_team "Perfect control of the quad !"

version_française

One of the map features of Quake3 is that each map comes with its own item timings, to prevent pattern running I guess.

Here is a list of the official id maps, including Zoid's CTF maps, describing the respawn of major items. If no respawn time is mentionned, this is a standard respawn time (120 s).

You'll find then an alias I wrote, to use as a mental note and / or as a say_team message, to remind your team mates about the respawn timing during team matches.

Ho, by the way... I didn't load each map and watch each item :) I used the excellent tiny freeware Q3Wumpass to extract from each map the list of entitie.

Here is the alias. Copy and paste it into an external file (timings.cfg) and call it within the console (/exec timings.cfg) when you feel the need of it.

Of course, don't forget to activate the timer (/cg_drawTimer 1) so you can actually time items.
