  that would be a great feature - however it will be a problem if the server is empty and starting to fill up

  I disagree. Just because a server is low on players doesn't mean the people in it want a hopelessly one sided game.
  
  The game will often start without a comm on one side and that team is hopelessly behind no matter what. There are some comebacks from what I am seeing, but I'd rather have the timings work out fairly to start with.

  Agreed, but only when there are a total of <4 players connected. When 4 are connected feature would be awesome!

  OK I have written some LUA that would do what I want, but I obviously can't edit this file since it says "client and server differ" when i run it.
  
  <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    function NS2Gamerules:UpdatePregame(timePassed)
  
          if self:GetGameState() == kGameState.PreGame then
          
              local preGameTime = self:GetPregameLength()
              
              local AlienComExists    =    Shared.GetEntitiesWithClassname("AlienCommander"):GetSize() ~= 0
              local MarineComExists    =    Shared.GetEntitiesWithClassname("MarineCommander"):GetSize() ~= 0
              local BothComExists        =    AlienComExists and MarineComExists
  
              if self.timeSinceGameStateChanged > preGameTime then
              
                  if BothComExists then
              
                      StartCountdown(self)
                      if Shared.GetCheatsEnabled() then
                          self.countdownTime = 1
                      end
                  end
                  
              end<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
  
  
  That was just a first try, but it obviously needs to be applied as a MOD to work. Can anyone help me out here?
