General / Rates and ffp

« on: April 11, 2005, 08:46:58 PM »

Now that stuff at the bottom of the page, the in and out, do I want to set my rates to maximize those?

The rates that you want to optimize in the console are:
cl_cmdrate - (number of updates to send to server?)
cl_updaterate - (number of updates to receive from server?)
cl_rate - number of bytes per second to send from client to server

the trick is to get cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate as high as you can on your connection before it starts to choke (as you can see with net_graph 3). It also helps to check your choke when there is a lot of action going on. Just go up in increments of 10 until you see that.

It makes a big difference. It allows you to send and receive more updates to the server (which means that skulk you're aiming at is really there instead of 5 feet behind you about to chew you up).

ooops! I saw the "find lost hello threads" and I thought, well, mine isn't lost yet. Sorry about that.

Hey All,

Thought I'd stop by and introduce myself. I've been playing a Lunixmonster for a while now and I guess it's time start visiting the forums.

Some info about me:
* Name: Ben
* Occupation: Java Programmer at Utah State University (USU) Research Foundation
* Education Level: Senior in CS at USU
* Favorite Smiley on this board: :ph34r:
* Blog: http://pojos-devlog.blogspot.com
* Webpage: http://pojo.us
* Favorite Food: Lasagna
* Favoriate Operating Systems: Mac OS X and Linux
* Favorite NS Map: ns_nothing

Anyway, that's about it. I've tried to make my one little mod in HL2, but their documentation is terrible. I've done many little projects, and I've contributed to some opensource proejcts.

I'm going to apply to work at Novell when I graduate, and hope to get accepted. If not, I'll probably go back to running my own business.

See you all in NS!
