so is there anyway to cvar to force the server to instantly change the maps instead of it ignoring the mp_chattime which it apparently does?

I always hammer the mouse at map change to force the map change. Otherwise it sits there for a minute or two. I think what he is observing is normal. If no one touches a mouse or keyboard, it should just sit there for a while before changing map. However, if players are hitting mouse and keyboard and nothing is happening for a minute or two, then there is a problem.
And I second the old hardware not causing the problem. I'm running off of an old 3GB Maxtor, and map changes take just seconds. It was fast changing maps even on my old PIII/800 with an antique 2GB Maxtor.

So it is not autonomous? Interesting. our other cs server changes within a few seconds. From what i see you saying that is either a fluke..or the 20 clients are impatient enough to nudge the server every map change. Now that is strange.

thing is though. It sits for up to a minute before it attempts to hit the hdd..once it starts accessing the hdd it changes within a second. My p-2 350 changed maps faster than this machine is..that is what has me scratching my head.
mp_chattime 5
whereas 5 is time in seconds. This is the delay between maps.
That is the minimum time before the map changes. If the server is empty it waits 2 minutes. Same thing if nobody does anything after the map ends. I'm not sure what clients need to do, but hitting the +attack button seems to work at least. I think only one player has to do this, but it might wait for more, this is probably in the SDK code, if anyone really wants to know.
