How To Change Build And Combat Phase Times On Your SourceForts Classic Server

Each SourceForts round has a build phase, where teams build their forts, followed by a combat phase, where they attack. The first build phase on a map is usually longer than the later ones.

Changing Phase Times

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Gameplay, edit First Build Phase, Build Phase and Combat Phase. Each is in seconds, from 5 to 5999.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

The defaults are 600 seconds (10 minutes) for the first build phase, 240 seconds (4 minutes) for later build phases and 600 seconds (10 minutes) for combat. The game warns about phases shorter than 120 seconds, but still allows them.

Tip

To add time to the current phase while playing, use rcon addtime 60. See RCON.
