ICGALN Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I set my maxdatarate to 6000 and asked a freind to join it, He got a ping of about 110. Then changed it to 4000 he still got about 110. 2000 still 110 What am i not doing right ? Aint it ment to make the ping go higher/lower ? Also how do you get your server to be a jk2 ++ like the ctf jolt.co.uk server ? If i'm talk bulplop let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 The cvar is sv_maxrate. That controls the maximum rate at which data will be sent to the clients (unless their rate is set lower, then theirs is used). The setting typically does not affect pings until you get below 5000. Generally, anything over 10000 doesn't produce any additional benefit except in the largest of games. If you intent is to make the players' pings worse, I'd question why. If you are simply trying to "filter out" those players with low pings, then use sv_minping. As far as jk2++ goes, you just need to download the mod and follow the instructions.

NITEMARE Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 hell yeah minping my minass! it doesnt work! maxping work yep but this minping setting is not realy a filter for lpbs. i had one yesterday and he wasnt even a bad guy, but i had to be an evil admin and kick him until he gave up connecting cuz he was screwing our game play. its no fun playing against a player with 25ms if u got 80ms... what i would want is a setting like maxrate! mabe i will have a better connection next month and then i dont want to be the bastard who killz em all.... like if everybody would have a minping of 50. that would be good!

MatrixCPA Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 One thing about the max/minping settings is that they only check the ping on connect. Thus, if they have a ping within the requred range when they connect and it later goes up or down, they'll still be in the game. Of course, if minping is "broken", then that's a bug for the devs to work out....not that I think they're going to spend one more second of code time on our game.

NITEMARE Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 nah i checked it out. minping works. i set it to 200 an it said. this game is for high pings only, heh. but thats the point, its useles if players get filtered oly on connect. i have to kick one guy by hand, because he has 30ms pings. there are not many like this in germany but i gets worse someday. and i wont have 70+ pings my whole life so that will be a fairnes issue! your bot could check up on the pings (atleast thats one of the few things we can get with an external prog) and kick players who have an average ping of 40 or so...
