View Full Version : Server banners gone wild?

Hello. I'm trying to get server banners working in my test server (g_banner_1, g_banner_2, etc.), but either there's something wrong with the timing cvars or its using a different time measure than most other cvars.
I set both "g_banner_delay" and "g_banner_loopdelay" to "30", which I assumed would be 30 seconds between each banner message. Instead, when I join the server I see banners flying by as fast as possible until it lags out the server.
Are these banners incomplete in the beta, or is there some other way of setting them up that I'm not aware of?

maybe 30 is milliseconds lol

Why anyone would want something like this measured in milliseconds is beyond me, but worth looking into :p

Try 3000 for the value (30 seconds?)

If its milliseconds then 30 seconds will be 30000

It must be bugged, changing both values to 30000 had no effect. It still floods several banners per second.

Maybe the banner functionality is incomplete?

Hello Guys,
I did not realize that there are server banners possible. Maybe because I make a tea at this time! On the Map Load Screen?

There are two sets of cvars available. The MOTD shows in the server browser and on the loading screen. The banners are periodically displayed in-game as chat text.
The MOTD works great, its the banners that are having timing issues.

g_banner_loopdelay is in seconds, so I guess there is a bug with it :)

ya i only found two settings with the bannerdelay.. no matter what time setting you put..
i found you can have it spammed once.. when a player joins the server
or you can have it constantly spammed lol :)
g_banner_loopdelay is in seconds, so I guess there is a bug with it :)
Has this been fixed yet?

No. At least on our server it still causes troubles.
