Seeding Mode

The Seeding Mode plugin automatically broadcasts seeding rules to players when the server is below a specified player threshold, and can announce when the server goes "live" with sufficient players.

Features

• Automatic seeding message broadcasts based on player count
• "Live" announcements when server reaches full capacity
• Configurable thresholds and messages
• Event-driven execution after new games
• Adjustable broadcast intervals

Configuration Options

How It Works

1. The plugin monitors player count continuously
2. When player count is below seeding_threshold:
   • Broadcasts seeding rules at regular intervals
   • Continues until player count reaches the threshold
3. When player count reaches live_threshold:
   • Broadcasts the "Live" message once
   • Stops seeding broadcasts
4. After new games, waits for the configured delay before checking player counts

Example Configuration

{
  "interval_ms": 120000,
  "seeding_threshold": 40,
  "seeding_message": "Server seeding - No FOB camping, fight over objectives only!",
  "live_enabled": true,
  "live_threshold": 45,
  "live_message": "Server is now LIVE! Normal rules apply.",
  "wait_on_new_games": true,
  "wait_time_on_new_game": 60
}

Tips

• Set seeding threshold lower than live threshold to prevent rapid switching
• Use clear, concise messages that players will see and understand
• The 30-second delay after new games allows the round to stabilize
• Adjust broadcast intervals based on your server's typical seeding time
• Test the thresholds during low-population periods to ensure proper operation
