Some help on Respawn times

It appears that i cannot change how long it takes to respawn within the game attempted to change it numerous of times and it appears that i can lower the time but not increase the time more than 5 seconds. maybe im doing somthing wrong but some insight would be nice.

My config at the moment attempted to change the respawn to 12 seconds but wouldn't allow us.

Code:

# config file for game rules
# rules name: CTF   
# rules description:
   
    teams = Rules/CTF/team1.cfg; Rules/CTF/team2.cfg;
   
    gamemode_name = Capture the Flag!
    gamemode_info = Capture the enemy flag and bring it back to your flag\n    Infinite resources in tent during build time
   
    # match time formula is = m*(a*sqrt(b*x)) where x = number of players in team; m = map size/difficulty 0.8<=m<=1.2;
    match_time_formula_a = 5
    match_time_formula_b = 3
    match_time_override = 0    # minutes / overrides time formula / 0 unlimited time / -1 don't override
   
 
    timepassed_teamwin = 0      # which team wins when time passes (-1 none)
    break_time = 30              # break_time * number of players - seconds
    minimum_players_inteam = 1
   
    autoassign_teams = yes
    autoassign_classes = no
    autoassign_inventory = no 
   
    auto_bots = no
    fog_of_war = 0              # todo
   
    #todo: move these to team         
                                             
    playerrespawn_seconds = 12.0

    selfkill_points = -25   
   
    attackdamage_modifier = 0.5 
    falldamage_modifier = 1.0
    friendlydamage_modifier = 0.0
 
    itempick_mode = yes
    itempick_points = 250

    flags_count = 1
    flags_respawn = yes
    flags_return = yes
    flag_score = 1
 
    gold_score_percentage = 0
   
    heart_fallout_probability = 0        # 0 - no hearts; 1 - every death; 2.. - randomly probability of 2...   
    spawn_tent_onstart = yes   
    restartmap_onlastplayer_disconnect = yes   
    nocollapsing_nearspawn = no   
    mirrormap = yes
   
    coins_death_drop_percentage = 30
    coins_damage_enemy = 5
    coins_build_percentage = 10
    coins_bomb_cost = 20
    coins_arrows_cost = 1
    coins_heal_cost = 2
    coins_unit_cost = 50
   
    room_config = Actors/ctf_room.cfg
   
   
   
    

 

I have restarted the server and i have also changed the multiplier to 1.0 but that made no difference, its strange that you cannot change the spawntime

 

Code:

// autostart on dedicated server launch
 
newWorld( "" );
switchGameState(0);
 
    startServer();   
       
    LoadRules("Rules/CTF/gamemode.cfg");
   
    LoadMapCycle( "Scripts/mapcycle.cfg" );
    LoadMap( "" );
   
    //sleep(4.0);   
    //addBot("Scripts/bot.cfg");
 
 
print(`Config loaded from dedicated_autostart.gm`);

 

still nothing thats shutting the whole server down. but still nothing.
