Realistic Elimination Chamber Timing

Dunno if this is common knowledge or not, but I thought I'd let other people know just in case.

If you want to hold an Elimination Chamber match with the correct 5-minute intervals between new participants entering, all you need to do is set the Royal Rumble entry time to 300 seconds.  Following this, a new participant will enter the Chamber every 5 minutes, instead of every 2.

Of course, don't forget to switch it back to two minutes afterwards, if you wish to hold a realistic Royal Rumble!

There's an even easier and better way of doing this :-)

Just open the file TNM.CNF in your circuit in a text editor of your choice (e.g. Notepad) and add the following line at the end:

EliminationChamberPeriods=300

or whatever length in seconds you want them to have :-)

Even better!  Thanks  8)

Oliver,
      What if you don't have the file TNM.CNF in your circuit?  I check all three of my circuits and none of them have that file in it.

Kind of ironic that, after posting this topic, the buggers go and change the entry time limit  ;D

It's not in the circuit folders, it's in the main folder.

What was the time limit that SummerSlam used?
Oliver CoppPosted on 08/25/03 at 21:29:26

Dominus - there is ANOTHER one in the main TNM 7 SE folder  :-/

The changes have to be made to the TNM.CNF in the circuit folder and nowhere else, otherwise it won't be picked up. Nuff said ;-)
rptDX316Posted on 08/25/03 at 22:33:19

The Summerslam time limit was 3 minutes between entries.

Just another reason why the Survivor Series EC was soooooo much better than the Summerslam debacle.
DominusPosted on 08/26/03 at 05:48:14

Ok so the TNM.CNF in the main folder is not the one I use?  Ooops.  I'll have to check that then.

I opened the TNM.cnf file in Wordpad (the one in my circuit) and it came up all scrambled.  Is there a way to decode it?
rptDX316Posted on 08/26/03 at 23:00:20

It's meant to come up scrambled.  I just added the line to the bottom of the file and Bob was my proverbial uncle.

John, the lines starting with "_" are encrypted lines. Just add yours in plain text and they'll be added to the encryption. You can then edit what you added via TweakCirc SE's "Browse TNM.CNF" button.

When starting new feds, can I copy and paste this tnm.cnf?
leftsaidfredPosted on 08/27/03 at 18:20:29

Oliver - Is it plausible that in the future, the time limit for people to enter the Elimination Chamber will be modified like the other match time limits?

You can cut and paste the TNM.CNF, I used to do that to get the Easter Eggs unlocked in each circut before it was made global.

Yes, you can :-)

Absolutely.

For the time being, if you've added it to TNM.CNF once, you can edit it via the "Browse TNM.CNF" button in TweakCirc.
