    Trelawney and myself were discussing this earlier today. We never found out.

    Yes, it was a feature added without any guidance as to how or where to use it. Try Base/Rules/CTF/gamemode.cfg for starters , trial and error is all we have left :eek:

    Well, after further testing with Trelawny, i've come to the realization that static_break_time = 1 is indeed buggy. Here's what i've found:

    When i did initial testing of this, i did it in a sterile server with the following params in base/rules/ctf/gamemode.cfg:
    static_break_time = 1
    break_time = 999
    minimum_players_inteam = 0

    This configuration seemed to work properly during testing with only me in the server, therefore i reported it at 'working'.

    However, upon further testing with trelawny joining the server, things got scrambled.

    this ended up giving us a 60 sec warmup.
    static_break_time = 1
    break_time = 30
    minimum_players_inteam = 1

    this ended up giving us a 2000 sec warmup
    static_break_time = 1
    break_time = 999
    minimum_players_inteam = 1

    i'll try to do a bit more research soon and edit this post as needed.

    break_time_static is the variable name I'm pretty sure.
    Looking at the source though, it's not there. Turns out MM never merged it properly. It'll have to wait for a little while, sorry :/ I'll put it back on the TODO and just recode it when I have time around spriting.

    Hey man, I coded the feature. He just didn't merge it in, or did and then reverted and forgot to re-merge.

    As of today's build (319), break_time_static works as expected. We've come a long way...
