Ok, So your a mapper and you compile your map, build the fast file and hit run selected map to test it out. The map loads and you select your team and find that you have to sit there for 15 seconds waiting for players or for the game to start. I hate that. So I found a way around it. Here is what you do. In the compile tools down below the Run Selected Map button, you see the options for Enable developer and script and cheat and one that says Use custom Command Line Options. tick that box. in the text field below the box, type this +set scr_game_playerwaittime 0 And Enjoy {ASP}CyberShot www.asp-gamers.com For those of you who are wondering how I figured this out, Here is how. I went into the .gsc files in the maps/mp/gametypes folder and started reading code for the war gametype. On line 126 i saw something about ingamegraceperiod. This gave me the idea to start the game, pull down the console and type ingamegraceperiod. but before i could finish, i saw the scr_game_playerwaittime (default 15 seconds) well naturally i thought that is what i am looking for. With a little trial and error in with the command line, i found the right combo to get it working. I am telling you all this so that you know how it was done and maybe using the same technique, we can find more little tricks. Happy hunting :-)

Another way to do this Permanently... is to navigate to your: Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\bin\CoD4CompileTools Locate the file called: cod4compiletools_runmap.bat Change the file extension from .bat to .txt Open it with any text editor like Notepad. Add the following line: +set scr_game_playerwaittime 0 add it within the other +set blah blahs. save and close... Then change the extension back from .txt to .bat and done. Now every time the tools run, it executes that line. You can add any commands you want to this file. Here is what mine looks like: Code: @ECHO OFF set treepath=%~1 set mapname=%2 set mpmap=%3 set cmdOptions=%~4 set exeName=iw3sp.exe if "%mpmap%" == "1" ( set exeName=iw3mp.exe ) cd %treepath% echo %exeName% +set logfile 2 +set monkeytoy 0 +set com_introplayed 1 +devmap %mapname% %cmdOptions% %exeName% +set logfile 2 +set monkeytoy 0 +set com_introplayed 1 +set scr_game_spectatetype 2 +set scr_war_timelimit 30 +set scr_game_playerwaittime 0 +set scr_game_matchstarttime 0 +set scr_enable_music 0 + set cg_drawFPS 1 +devmap %mapname% %cmdOptions% cls +set scr_game_spectatetype 2 = allow free spectate +set scr_war_timelimit 30 = timelimit for TDM +set scr_game_playerwaittime 0 = no wait time before match starts +set scr_game_matchstarttime 0 = no wait match start time +set scr_enable_music 0 = no dumb music +set cg_drawFPS 1 = show developer FPS in upper right of screen You can basically add any default game command you want here. Just be smart and backup your original before messing with this.

then you did something wrong. check your code very carefully. You need to make sure that everything is exact or it could screw up everything. This fix does work.
