How to change the in-game playername

counter-strike-global-offensive

Is it tied purely to my Steam profile name, or can I set my in-game name independently?

In CS Source you used to be able to change the name drectly form the console with a 'name' command.

Ideally I'd like to be able to have he in-game name totally separate from my steam profile name as changing that around will confuse people on my Friends list.

Your name within Counterstrike: Global Offensive is tied to your Steam display name. This can be changed. This is discussed in this forum thread, which explains the various methods tried so far to force a name change.

To change your name within Steam, click on the little arrow next to your name in the Steam friend's list and select "Change Profile Name" from the bottom of the menu that appears:

This will pop up the account settings window, which will allow you to change your name. As you've pointed out, this will change your name as you appear to your friends within Steam, as well as in any Steam game that supports it.

How to change the map-change time after the game ends on the server

Taken from here: CSGO

mp_timelimit 0

Game time per map in minutes.

This should be the command used to modify the time to change the map time. Since there are no commands to directly modify the time it takes to change maps, I suggest you use the next following command:

mp_roundtime "5"

How many minutes each round takes.

Since you want a 10 second mapchange time, mp_timelimit should be 29, while mp_roundtime should be 4. (Thus, 7 rounds of 4 minutes each, and with additional time from other events, such as half-time, warm-up, etc.)

Here are a list of other commands associated with "time-related" issues:

mp_halftime_duration "15" // Number of seconds that halftime lasts
mp_round_restart_delay "7" // Number of seconds to delay before restarting a round after a win
mp_restartgame "0" // game will restart in the specified number of seconds

Honestly though, what it boils down to is really you can't really change it. There are so many things to factor in (If you're playing DE modes, then if the bomb is planted before the round ends, you'll have to factor that time in too). There are a lot of things to factor in when determining how long each map within the rotation is run as well as determining how long your rounds are.
