Setting cl_timeout on the server won't change anything. You'll want to instruct clients to set cl_timeout to longer than the map changes take. For example, if when the timeout bug happens it takes 3 minutes to change map, set the timeout to 4 minutes (cl_timeout 240) so that you'll be fine. You'll want to set sv_timeout to this value as well because the default is somewhere around 75 and leaving it will cause people to get booted by the server.
The drawback is anyone who has legitimately timed out will now waste space for 4 minutes if you set the higher sv_timeout value. -----Original Message----- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Chris Walker Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 11:06 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Timeout on Map Change Yeah I was just wondering what a reasonable number would be so to make it have enough time to pick up the server when it comes back up. ~Chris http://chriswalkr.com On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 7:01 PM, turb0z <tur...@undergamer.com> wrote: > cl_timeout is a variable on the server side.
