Final Release TimeScaler Mutator 2.x (Full Control - NOT whitelisted)

[-=THOR=-]

WHAT IT DOES

This mutator allows to scale these parameters:

Territory:
-Round time limit
-Lockdown time
-Minimum time to capture a zone.
-Delay between reinforcements waves
-Delay between commander-forced respawn

Firefight:
-Round time limit*
-Delay between reinforcements waves

Countdown:
-Objective time limit
-Minimum time to capture an objective Zone.

*In this case special case, the time limit can only be set to a value, it cannot be scaled.


PROFILES

You can create as many scaling profiles as you want in the config file. A profile contains these settings:

• ID [TE/FF/CD] MANDATORY
  Identifies a profile. Any alphanumerical value is accepted (case insensitive).
• AbsoluteTimeLimit [TE/FF/CD] (default: false)
  Set to true if you want to use an absolute time limit, or false if you want to use a scaling factor.
• TimeLimit [TE/FF/CD] (default: 1.0)
  Absolute time in seconds, or scaling factor. For FF, it HAS to be an absolute time.
• LockDownTime [TE] (default: 1.0)
  Scaling factor for the lockdown timers.
• MinimumCaptureTime [TE/CD] (default: 1.0)
  Scaling factor for the time required to capture a zone/objective
• ReinforcementDelay [TE/FF] (default: 1.0)
  Scaling factor for the time between the allies reinforcements waves.
• InstantRespawnInterval [TE] (default: 1.0)
  Scaling factor for the delay between commander-forced respawn.

Whenever a parameter is not specified, the default value is used.

Typical configuration entry:

ScalingProfileList=(ID="Epic",TimeLimit=2.0,LockDownTime=2.0,MinimumCaptureTime=2.0,ReinforcementDelay=2.0,InstantRespawnInterval=2.0)

ADS

This mutator can display ads when it is being used.

• Enabled (default: true)
  Enable or disable the ads.
• Message (default: "The TimeScaler mutator is active on this server!"
  Message to be displayed.
• Repetitions (default: 0)
  How many times to display the message. 0 means there is no limit.
• Interval (default: 120)
  Delay in seconds, between each display of the message.
• Offset (default: 30)
  Delay in seconds, between the beginning of the match, and the first display.

Typical configuration entry:

AdsSettings=(Enabled=true,Message="The TimeScaler mutator is active on this server!",Repetitions=0,Interval=120,Offset=30)

CONFIGURATION

Here's the default configuration file:

[TimeScaler.TimeScaler]
bEnableLogging=false
ScalingProfileList=(ID="Race",TimeLimit=0.75,LockDownTime=0.75,MinimumCaptureTime=0.75,ReinforcementDelay=0.75,InstantRespawnInterval=0.75)
ScalingProfileList=(ID="Epic",TimeLimit=2.0,LockDownTime=2.0,MinimumCaptureTime=2.0,ReinforcementDelay=2.0,InstantRespawnInterval=2.0)
AdsSettings=(Enabled=true,Message="The TimeScaler mutator is active on this server!",Repetitions=0,Interval=120,Offset=30)

USAGE

When the mutator is active, a default scaling profile is always used, unless a profile ID is specified.

To understand how to use mutator, consider this example, where you want to use the epic profile:

?mutator=TimeScaler.TimeScaler?TimeScaler_ID=Epic

?TimeScaler_ID=Epic means the the Epic profile will be used.

?mutator=TimeScaler.TimeScaler is used to enable the mutator. You need to include it everytime you use the mutator. If you have many mutators active, line them up like this:

?mutator=TimeScaler.TimeScaler,OtherMutator.OtherMutator,AnotherOne.AnotherOne ...

OVERRIDE

Any of the parameters defined in the active profile can be overriden by an option in the URL. Basically, to override a parameter, just put ?TimeScaler_<param_name>=<param_value> in the URL.

Consider these examples:

You want to use your use the default profile, but want the lockdown timers to be twice longer:

?mutator=TimeScaler.TimeScaler?TimeScaler_LockDownTime=2.0

You want to use the Epic profile, but it's a FF map, which means that you need to set an absolute time limit.

?mutator=TimeScaler.TimeScaler?TimeScaler_ID=Epic?TimeScaler_AbsoluteTimeLimit=true?TimeScaler_TimeLimit=900

INSTALL

1. The zip file is attached to this thread (see below), download it and extract the files.
2. In the server directory, put defaulttimescaler.ini and ROTimeScaler.ini under ~\rogame\config\
3. In the server directory, put TimeScaler.u under ~\rogame\cookedpcserver\
4. If you use a redirect for your server, put TimeScaler.u at the root.
