I've been looking for the same thing, however i've basically searched through all the files with no succes, the only file saying something about gameDuration is in resource/set/multiplayer/game/combat or something close to that. Changing the value there or even removing it has no effect (i may not have done every possible combination so maybe you will have more luck doing that).

But i do know, as a matter of fact, that it's possible. The orginal MoW had a max game duration of 90min while MoWas2 has a max one of 120m, it's either embedded somewhere deep in the files or just not accesible through what you get as a modder (and so it's a thing in the engine itself)

My only proposal now is that we both try to get in contact with one of the devs and ask it. Who knows....

I'm not sure I know how to dig deeper than you did there, but yeah, I looked at the time limit in all the MoW games back to MOW1 and reached the same conclusion. Maybe there are tools online somewhere for deeper digging. I'll keep you posted if I work out anything.

So did you you guys end up getting it to work at all?

nope... i believe it's just hardcoded. Hopefully the next games will follow the CtA route, which does feature unlimited time (as long as you don't cap).

So i suppose it's just a matter of waiting.

Well, skirmish is open ended so there might be a clue somewhere.

Hold up there, you brought me on an idea! Screw combat! Assault Zones does not have a time limit, it works the same as in CtA where there's just a clock keeping track of how much time has elapsed. Of course, CtA i think only has capture the flag.

It has a test mode also in fact, i've been doing this in CtA so idk why i didn't come up with this. Just whatever you do don't capture the flags.

I know that might be a bit much, then i give you another solution, up the max score limit in a skirmish match to something ridiculously high that surely will never be reached.

Another one is, removing the cap zones altogether, this can be done i suppose by repurposing combat maps as AZ maps, or manually editing them all out or putting them in some corner.

Afaik this shouldn't have any adverse effects for rp purposes.You can still see your score and kill counts when pressing tab if you wish to see that and you get the same post battle results as in combat.

I hope this actually solves everything then.

So i've basically disguised a normal combat.mi map as a battle_zones.mi and it works!
For easier use, i'd suggest you'd make a personal mod which copies over the map/multi from the base game (if you use vanilla maps) to your mod.

There, you go inside of every map folder to delete "battle_zones.mi", then you rename every "combat.mi" with "battle_zones.mi".

And voila, now whenever you want to play, choose Assault Zones instead of Combat as your mode. And proceed to do the same things, but now with infinite time.

You absolute madman, you did it! I will try this out asap, this is a game changer for our little group! :)

Can someone post a working version of this for vanilla maps?
