Summary0001814: sv_forcerespawn improvement/upgrade
DescriptionThere should be an option to force player respawns after a certain time. Currently this is just a boolean variable: if off players can remain dead forever, and if on players are immediately spawned back into the map.

Often you want the dead player not to be immediately forced back into the game (example: abusing this feature by spamming bfg constantly over forced respawn points, or in general just being able to gather your breathe before re-entering the game); however, you don't want them to have the ability to remain dead forever either (example: duel game with a time limit). Making this variable have a configurable time to it would be a great improvement.

Can someone please evaluate if this was the right thing? So far it's working just right on my end, but maybe someone can investigate the reason bSpawnTelefragged was used.


This also makes the ZACOMPATFLAG useless if this is approved, and can be taken out.

On face value it looks like it allows instant respawn if the player was spawn telefragged and your patch does not preserve this behavior.

The Printf() line for the out-of-bounds where it resets itself back to TICRATE/2 IMO. No other CVar that I know of prints it like this. And what do if it becomes gargantually huge? :P

Also, lines 771-774 could be collapsed to one with use of the ternary operator IMO. And the padding style is also off.

In addition to what Dusk already said (drop the Printf), I think we should keep compat_instantrespawn for compatibility purposes.

Then, the change in AActor::Die can be simplified to changing

            if ( dmflags & DF_FORCE_RESPAWN )
                player->respawn_time += TICRATE/2;

to

            if ( dmflags & DF_FORCE_RESPAWN )
                player->respawn_time += sv_forcerespawntics - TICRATE;

This simplification combined with changing the default of sv_forcerespawntics to TICRATE*3/2 also fixes the problem that your patch changes the old default behavior: Your patch reduced the default value in case DF_FORCE_RESPAWN is true from TICRATE*3/2 to TICRATE/2 and increased it from TICRATE to TICRATE*3/2 in case DF_FORCE_RESPAWN is false.

I changed the printf, it's gone


When I change the function to have this:

// [RH] Force a delay between death and respawn
        if ((( zacompatflags & ZACOMPATF_INSTANTRESPAWN ) == false ) ||
            ( player->bSpawnTelefragged ))
        {
            player->respawn_time = level.time + TICRATE;

            // [BC] Don't respawn quite so fast on forced respawn. It sounds weird when your
            // scream isn't completed.
            // [CK] If desired, we can use our own custom respawn time with force respawn
            if ( dmflags & DF_FORCE_RESPAWN )
                player->respawn_time += sv_forcerespawntics - TICRATE;
        }


Now I can't achieve the ticket authors request of being able to spawn whenever, yet force respawning. It makes me wait until sv_forcerespawntics, where I believe he wants it.

I'll try to figure this out and see what solution I can come up with. I have an idea.

Currently there is a wad floating around unofficially that duplicates this forced spawn timer behavior. However, it relies on the use of console command to spawn the player and since console command will eventually be removed, the wad will be useless in the future. If native support isn't possible at this time, then perhaps some sort of ACS function could be introduced so that a scripting solution can still be utilized.

tested in build whatever rust gave me

everything seemed to work fine. I couldnt break it with negative numbers or anything retarded, all defaulted to 0. No decimals accepted but I don't think that matters much.
