Miscellany: Spawn protection, Jump height, Deathmatch Podiums

Setting Spawn Protection

Coliseum2 allows for spawn protection that gives players a brief time that they are invulnerable after spawning/respawning. This safety period will last for a specified period of time or until the player fires a weapon. Firing the hook will not remove the spawn safety. Also, spawn protection will not protect against telefrags.

> CVAR: g_spawnsafety

> Default is zero(0) and is measured in seconds.
> Example: To set a 5 second spawn protection period, set g_spawnsafety "5".

Setting Jump Height

Coliseum2 allows server admins to adjust how high a player can jump.

> CVAR: g_jumpheight

> Default is 270.

Turning Off Deathmatch Podiums

Some server may have a map rotation scheme with some typos that may cause the deathmatch podiums to "artifact" after a map restarts. This is, the deathmatch poduims may hang around and still be visible during play. This problem has been determined to be caused by some rare typos in the map rotation command portion of config files. You may turn off deathmatch podiums completely.

> CVAR: g_dmpodium

> > 0 - Off
> > 1 - On - default
