"Time Limit" units?

lordvader · September 22nd, 2004, 07:35 AM

Could someone tell me what the time unit denomination in the "Time Limit" option is?

When I use the 1.42 launcher, 99 is the max number accepted and it lasts for about 3 seconds. If I use a batch file with the "+timelimit 1000" parameter, the game lasts about 30 seconds. Is there a bug here or am I soing something wrong?

Thanks

Edit: Ok I found the answer , sorry about the wasted bandwidth

I think it may be gametics.,.

I think the operation goes something like this...
Time in seconds x 35 = value for the timelimit func

So for your 1000, dividing that by 35 equals 28.8something, roughly 30 seconds.

And I think this is a bug, I don't think it was gametics in the past (1.30 and before), was it ? That's something I should have a look at.

you can just do minutes*2100 for it to work. 5 minutes = 5*2100 = 10500
