Nice try. The other server has the mod running with all the script updates if people want to go try that one. No idea if it would be any better or worse or if its even in the same location. I want to stress however that the mod as it is now is a mirror of the way it was months ago with the other provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I mean MB's of data per second. A 10 second CI would easily generate a 100MB log file. There have been no such errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Ping was bouncing double , but I didn't trace it to see if maybe the data center route had a bad path, and above lots of little things it seemed aparant that the call event for a kill streak especially larger streaks like air strike is when I seemed to notice a Ci and it would last for long enough I was suprised not to be kicked for ping. The streak animation seemed to be fine it was just at trigger when the case was produced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

They mean packet loss or server frames not being received on time. Constant red spikes every second points to a problem in that area. Lagbinds fuck with this when sending data back to the server. Yellow typically has to do with sync in between server frames (20fps). Big mods with lots of goodies and things to process means more data that needs to be sent by the server. If the frame data is not sent or received quick enough the rest of it is dropped to move onto the next. The size of the bar reflects how much out of sync it is. The default 30 packets was set for a game made in 2007. It stands to reason that more complex games send more data and thus need more packets. Visual lag that affects everything you see could also obviously be due to the video card and how much data it has to process. Rain. lightening and fog are the worst. billyblade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Not that i totally dont love it, but like you said, thats ALOT of data transfer. Perhaps we need to look at scaling back some of that...i know alot of folks will be unhappy losing the ac130 or mini nukes and care package rerolls and tons of heli strikes mixed with care package drops and ten cars running around simultaneously while the emp is blacking out my minimap and such. I remember when i first started playing the original mod and the first time we had a mod with upgraded weapons and i was so stoked. Now i think maybe its taken for granted that this is still a modded version of COD4 MODERN WARFARE...folksd forget playing FREE FOR ALL in "the killhouse" with massive spawncamping...and traditional TDM mods.. I guess my question is have we reached the pinnacle of modding the original before its affecting normal gameplay through normal channels. im just an idiot so i dont know any better, but it was just a thought cuz i think i might not function well anymore playing the original mod...but i could give it the old college try....even if i barely made it through high school..(thats a lie of course...high school was waaayy easy!!!) btw sammy..my shit lags the worst on a green map i.e. alot of trees and such Edited September 26, 2014 by billyblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car is mostly just the player with a different model + engine sound and trail fx. The explosive works the same as a C4 charge. AC130 is also just a player with different kinds of player weapons, like an rpg or nade launcher. Care package rerolls are part of the proximity checks that see if you are in range to take it. It checks for the melee button in addition to use. If melee then change a few variables and the head icon. Mininuke is much less heavy than the standard airstrike with its cluster bomblets. Instead of 36 (12 each plane) there is only 1. Helicopters are the heaviest streak in the game in terms of the number of running threads controlling it all, which is why only one is allowed. CP drops dont need the threads for things like targeting and primary/secondary weapons so are much lighter. The flypath code is also much lighter since its only A->B->C then done. EMP is just a visual effect no different than NV goggles. Otherwise one var is set for the player or equipment which is used as an extra exception to decide whether or not to do something. That said, things do add up so efficiency is important and if there are things that can be made to run slower with no noticeable difference it is best to do it.

Before notifications all kill processing must be completed first to keep things in sync. After which a message is sent to the game that basically says "I am done". Somewhere this is not happening and it continues to wait. If you know, when you made that particular kill when you got the award did you also get a bonus of some kind or something similar?

I do know we used to play FT 5-6 years ago with the same player slots and we did not have these issues. What has changed? I know we need to accommodate everyone, but I think it could be a good idea to look at other providers not located in NY. Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas; shit I don't care if its Germany if it helps us narrow down the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
