TimeLimit plugin 1.0.3

catay · Post by **catay** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 10:33 pm

The TimeLimit plugin makes it possible to change live the
match duration on a match server.

Installation :

* bzflag 2.0.8

If you use the 2.0.8 version or a not really recent
2.0.9 cvs version it is possible that certain bz api
methods are not available. Therefore you should patch
your bzflag source code first.

-> TimeLimitPlugin-0.1.patch.txt

If the patch is applied succesfully you should be able
to compile the plugin.

-> TimeLimit-1.0.3.tar.gz

* latest cvs version (v2_0branch only)

You don't need the patch. You just need to compile the
plugin.

-> TimeLimit-1.0.3.tar.gz

How to use the plugin is explained in the README.

Constructive critisism is always welcome.

Is it possible to extend this plugin to the time limit on the server (not the match?) for servers who are set up with a time limit (using the -time switch)

It shouldn't be hard to do that I think. The plugin actually changes the -time value, but it
also requires you have put -timemanual in your config. If you remove that specific part
in the code it should work. Well, that's if I understand your question.

I think in the end the -time value should be put in bzdb , that way the plugin won't mess
with cmdline options and it would be possible to change the timelimit with /set .
I have a working prototype implementation of that but only for the HEAD branch.
