Post subject: Flag's drop too soon.

Ok, I have been working on my zone until now and got tired of topic diving and not finding the answer.

Ok heres the deal,

I have 10 flags on my map and when I pick 9 of them up it has the 300 sec timer. But when I grab the last flag (The 10th) they all drop on instant? How would I make it so you have to wait out the 300 seconds before it drops and wins the flag game?

Sorry for the double post, but I am also having a problem with my greens (aka prizes) I have them set up correctly ive checked and all that but none what so ever is on my map, lol. How would I have mixed in with my flags on my map?

Is your Flag:FlagMode=0? It should be 1.

For prizes it could be any number of problems, I suggest opening template.sss in a text editor or pressing esc+c in game, it gives descriptions of each setting and typical values. If you still can't figure it out just post your [Prize] section from server.cfg.

The formula for calculating how many prizes spawn for PrizeFactor is: NumPrizes = PrizeFactor * PlayerCount / 1000. Thus for a setting of 20, you need at least 50 people in the zone for one prize to appear.

While the zone has low population, a recommended setting is in the range of 3000 (3 prizes per player) to 10000 (10 prizes per player).
