🤔 What happened?

The mp_weapon_respawn_time command (as well as mp_item_respawn_time and mp_ammo_respawn_time) doesn't respawn weapons placed on maps in CS 1.6. For example, on maps like fy_pool_day. I'm not 100% sure I understand this command correctly, however. I think setting to 0 should make weapons respawn instantly upon pickup, or setting to 20 should make it respawn after 20 seconds. (Am I correct?) However, they do not respawn in either case. If you play these maps for a few minutes with mp_weapondrop "0", all of the weapons eventually disappear from the map.

⚠️ Meta-information

I am using the latest dev version of mp.dll from January 27th on Windows.


Protocol version 48

The items on the floor on fy_ maps & others are armouries (classname "armoury_entity", which use a different process to respawn items), they only respawn on new round.
On those armouries, you can alter with a plugin the member "m_iCount" to a value higher than 1 (how many items you want to give until become unusable & invisible), but this will be like an instant respawn (like same item multiple times in a box), however, for a delay, need another plugin code that "Restart" it after being picked up.

The CVar "mp_weapon_respawn_time" works with normal inventory item entities, again, you somehow must have a plugin with config file(s) that spawns the items class names as they are & where you want (like on Half-Life DM) rather than armouries, the "legit CS" does not naturally allow that feature (was restricted) but on ReGameDLL_CS it has been fixed on a commit from that I recall.

Other alternative is to modify the ReGameDLL_CS binary & implement the respawn delay feature for armouries.

I see, thanks for the information. So I suppose it's not a bug after all?

I'm only using ReGameDLL_CS for the occasional offline match with bots when I can't play online, so I did not set up metamod or AMX. It would be nice to have the feature for armouries if that's a possibility.
