Cant do that, people on isdn and 56k would just lag completely, choke it up and get flush entity packets all over the place.
The ability to control the cl_cmdrate and cl_rate would be better then forcing it, to allow change for isdn and 56k players. Controlling it though isnt as important as knowing what a clients cl_cmdrate and cl_rate actually are. If we at least know what all their rates are we can then force them to change them to a more reasonable level. If this is added to Source, please do it for HL1 aswell. I also see that cl_rate has been removed from Source, perhapse this can be done for HL1 too? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rick Payton Sent: 21 July 2005 21:38 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] rate toggle Why not just lock the client to match the servers tickrate? Are these variables that really need to be adjustable anyways? If they are is there any way to make them "self-tuning" according to network conditions?

This makes that player alot more difficult to hit without them losing any sorts of performance to their bullet registry. The thing that needs to be seen really is the ability to control the cl_cmdrate and the cl_rate just like the cl_updaterate and rate commands. For example (cl_maxcmdrate and cl_maxclrate), or at least the ability to see what a clients cl_cmdrate and cl_rate is using the status command as you can see their rate and cl_updaterate. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- No virus found in this incoming message.
