DynTim for GOKZ

Dynamic Timelimit for GOKZ. A small and simple plugin that will read the average map completion time for a map from the local DB, and then try to calculate a more sensible timelimit based on that. This solves the problem of being stuck on kz_mz for 30 minutes and having to spam rtv, vs. only having 30 minutes to complete kz_gy_agitation, and having to spam extends. The times used is the times for the servers default mode.

The timelimit is calculated based on the average time of TP runs, if the total amount of times is higher than 5. The average time is then multiplied with some hardcoded values. This makes short maps have a high timelimit in relation to their average completion time (allows for completing them many times), while longer maps will not have that long timelimit in relation to their average completion time (allows for completing them fewer times). The resulting value is then checked to be inside the configurable limits, explained below.

Installation

Copy the plugin into csgo/addons/sourcemod/plugins. After changing map or restarting the server, there will be a config file generated in csgo/cfg/sourcemod/plugins.dyntim.cfg. In this file you can set the min and max values for the calculated timelimit. You can also set a default timelimit in case it cannot be calculated. Note that this default timelimit will override other configurations you might have!

// If calculated timelimit is smaller than this, use this value instead. (Minutes)
// -
// Default: "15"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
dyntim_timelimit_min "15"

// If calculated timelimit is bigger than this, use this value instead. (Minutes)
// -
// Default: "180"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
dyntim_timelimit_max "180"

// Default timelimit if there are too few runs on the server to calculate one. (Minutes)
// -
// Default: "25"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
dyntim_timelimit_default "25"

// Multiply the resulting timelimit with this, before checking min and max values.
// -
// Default: "1.0"
dyntim_multiplier "1.0"
