How to disable time limit in TF2

team-fortress-2

I've looked quite a few places now, and can't seem to find an answer, so I'm turning here.

I often like to mess around on the various TF2 maps (usually Payload maps, such as Upward, Badwater, Barnblitz, etc.) but I always run into an issue – the time limit. It's rather annoying for the map to reset every 5 minutes, and I'd like to be able to extend/disable it.

I tried mp_timelimit 0 and mp_timelimit 60, but neither seemed to change anything.

How can I disable/extend the time limit on TF2 maps?

If all you want to do is screw around on the map, try the following command in console.

mp_tournament 1; mp_tournament_restart

For added fun and games, you can bind it to a key like so: bind <key> "mp_tournament 1; mp_tournament_restart", where <key> is the scripting name for the desired key.

This will enter tournament mode, which will leave the game suspended waiting for a tournament round to begin (and you can just never start that).
