Pauses and backups

Pause types

Type	Started by	Ends when
Normal	.pause	Both teams type .unpause.
Tactical	.tac (or .pause with matchzy_use_pause_command_for_tactical_pause)	The timeout runs out.
Technical	.tech	Both teams unpause, or matchzy_tech_pause_duration runs out. Limited per team by matchzy_max_tech_pauses_allowed.
Admin	.forcepause	An admin types .forceunpause.
Auto	A team drops below matchzy_autopause_minplayers	The team is full again; the game resumes after matchzy_autopause_resume_delay seconds.

Autopause replaces the game's own sv_matchpause_auto_5v5 and ignores bot teams. Every pause and unpause is sent as a match_paused / match_unpaused event.

Round backups

MatchZy saves a backup at the start of every live round (Valve's backup system plus MatchZy's own state). Backups live in csgo/MatchZyDataBackup/ and can also be POSTed to matchzy_remote_backup_url.

After a restore

• The match pauses (matchzy_pause_after_restore). Set matchzy_restore_auto_unpause true to resume on its own after matchzy_restore_unpause_delay seconds.
• The scoreboard is rolled back too: round history, kills, deaths, assists, damage, score and MVPs (matchzy_restore_scoreboard_stats).
• A restore is only announced once the server has actually loaded it; a failed load is reported in chat.
