Spawning time always on screen

by **Sheisse (Qc)** » Thu Feb 20, 2003 9:05 pm

I was wondering if anyone knew about a command to allow the spawning time to be always on screen, not only on info screen (Tab).
I hope there is a way to keep the spawning time alwas on cause it can be very useful...

On OSP servers you can hit escape, go to 'options' and then turn 'reinforcement time' on. This will then display the respawn time in the upper left corner. don't know that it will work on OC though.

I'm with slaughter on this one...

The re-enforcement times are so short on OC48, you don't need it. The longest it'll ever be is like 15 seconds.

Well, if he's like me...If i'm an lt or soldier with 2 health, and the spawn time is at 5 seconds, I'm going to kill myself to start with full health.

Yes, common game plan, you'll wait untill that last second to kill yourself and it's usefull to have the reinforcment time diplayed so you can easily determine when to /kill.

ive thought this before, if it were me and i were one of those guys that went long with the docs and foolishly tried to run them through both axis spawn points to the radio room...it would help.

Don't underestimate the many use of the spawning time, for exemple, when you play the americans and an axis took the back the bunker spawning flag (as well as any spawning flags in any maps), you don't have much ammo, you are near the bunker and you want to take back the flag.

If you go runing in without looking when is the next respawn, what may happend is that you will take back the flag, get attacked by a roaming axis, even kill, and by the time the time of spawnig, the axis guy takes back the flag. This results in a spawn at the beach for severals players.

On the other hand, if you take the time to look at the spawnig time, you juste have to run in and take back the flag a sec before a few friends spawns by your side to help you defend the bonker by your side if there is a thret (spelling?), or folllow you for an other squad to the docs.

Finally I want to thanks Burningwick for your reply, and Killer Mike for your support on the idea that spawning time is a tool to become a bether player. I must say I was a bit surprise that very good players such as slauther and #1HitPoint dont use this tool. It remind me the deapth (spelling?) of this game, Im amazed how much you can get bether and bether. I love this game
