Hello Andrew, Maybe it would be good to create timer that runs for 30 seconds or so after map is loaded and all players who connected are frozen - after 30 seconds unfreze them and start playing. Afcourse adding something like timer for connected waiting players would be nice.
Another way is to reset map after 30 seconds (like i saw in css) - map restarting can be easily implemented when you read source wiki tutorial. I dont know why would you need to stop spawning entities or simulate slowing down server. I assume you dont reely need to do that. After all in some time most of clients will load levels as fast as servers.
