I've since done a lot of optimizing on the vehicles in our mod and have gotten the network traffic down to about 1kb/sec per vehicle being driven. This is fine for our mod, we should be able to have half a dozen vehicles on a map at one time.
I'm sure if you moved more stuff over to the client you could cut this down to a very insignificant amount of bandwidth and fit 32 vehicles on a server. Luckily, i don't have to go through that pain ;) Teddy http://dystopia-mod.com/ On Wed, 15 Dec 2004 09:36:10 +1000, Teddy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In our preliminary tests, we found that if someone jumps in a vehicle, > it adds a permanent 2-4kb/sec of incoming data to each client (from > the server).
