I have been hosting my own server for play between me and my little brother but I want to know how do you change the area respawn time from 7200 tics(Thats 2 Hours) to 600 tics(Thats 10 min) any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

If you want to change the maximum time all maps live before being reset you would edit include/config.h and change
to something appropriate and recompile.
For a single map you can change the reset time simply by opening it in a text editor (that can understand unix text file format - try wordpad/vi) and changing reset_timeout. If there is no such value you can add it between "arch map" and first "end" clause.
I don't recommend doing either, though. Having a longer reset time encourages players to go exploring. You could take a look at
the Crossfire map spoiler instead.

Where would this include folder be located becuase if it's in the crossfire server folder I don't have it. If this is the case could you either post a link to download it (HA HA) or if you are really nice you could email it to me.
My email is GENEANDJIMS@aol.com

It is in the Crossfire Server source package. Maybe you downloaded a binary (ready-to-run) version that didn't require recompiling ?
