portalling is a way to optimize your map for faster in game rendering. They say a proberly portaled map would lower a server ping by 5 to 10 points. Never seen it myself but portaled maps do run much smoother. What happens is you portal your building so now when you enter it the game will only render what you see not the whole map. You can test this out in cod5 mp_xi_shiro is fully portaled and mp_xi_jordan is not almost the same map. Shiro does feel a little better to play on. Well I think so

If you select your brushes and in the 2d window right click on them you will see the option to make detail or make structerial. If it one then the other option appears. The main purpose for making something detail is for portaling your map. You can also use it to help reduce some errors you get when your map gets to big. Hope that helps

Not sure I know what your asking for Petz ? Is this the expereince points needed to rank up ? And to clear all the problems with your server window you have to delete your servercache.dat file located in user/appdata/activision/codwaw folder . Then you have to add all your Favorites again but the problem will be solved.

You may also go start control panel click the java button and it should have on the front page " Keep tempory files on my computer. " make sure it is deselected, not enabled, unchecked. It you prefere to have it on its also where you go to delete said shit files button says Delete files click it often and hard. Thank you for the vent.

The Tube Tourny server the maps are well dusty and the Zombie map s well ick to many parts on the ground.

Just looked at it and the way its designed to work is. Members get an extra 100 points for there tags thats how the game is told not to kick members. Now if the server is full a member can join via a password. The game is suppose to then kick the player with the lowest score and it is now set to redirect hin to the VNFT Test server 208.100.0.135. Hope that help you out let us know if it does anything wacky again please. Thanks

I'll look at it in the am when I'm doing the new map rotations. Been so much changes in that mod these day maybe it got messed up ? Who know's why what does what I'm begining tothink santas screwing around with all this online christmas crap.

Yes it should be the lowest player with no Xi tags. Are you sure this happened it should of told you you were kicked ?

To the top with you kind sir

The VNFT Server 208.100.0.135 needs a trial run please. You will need to download a new .iwd sorry for that. It has only 10 maps in the rotation. I did notice my ping bouncing around 5 points and I was in it alone so keep an eye open about that for me please. Could of been my glourious internet . I would like to see it close to full if possible please or I'd like to get you guys and gals to crash it for me. Bah humbug Labob

Not so sure. I was on last night for a few minutes and the pings were bouncing across the board by about 20 points with 17 player on.

Jesus how many rotations is 700 maps

Oh and PSYCOKILLER its ok to be pissed off that somebody messed with your game I promise you your not alone. Many players went WTF over this. Thats why we don't do it alot.

Ok a couple of things I can clear up here. Is it PB causeing this I'd have to say no because its not on. Betties or admin cookies. Lots of things to keep in mind. The game was designed to allow for what activision considered relizim. We have the betties set on an allowable distance to be before it explodes. Not keep in mind the materials aroung the bettie. Paper wall,brick wall wood, wall 8 inches thick or 2 inches thick or wood panel ect it all has an effect on penitration for the bettie. Add into that mess what perks the player is using. flac jacket or run faster. Makes a difference in the game big time. Tanks and stuff don't know why you can't use them check your key setup ? Hit the x key in game drivable vechiles will show up and those are the only ones that you can use. I think some tanks you may only enter from the rear. Ping well nothing we can really do about that one and I'm feeling that pain as well. I have an ok ping but now have a latency issue so I do know how it feels. OLd maps new mods. No doesn't work that way. Modern weapons and the veitnam mod have alot of work done to them, So there are limits as to how much the game engine will render for the game to play correctly. These are ussually material assests. An exploding vechile is acually 5 or 6 vechiles bundled into one and as it explodes the game engine removes one and replaces it with another that is slightlty more damaged untill you have the blown up one. Then consider the FX side flames sound ect. So the majic number is 2400 materials you go over that the game crashes because it can't render the map. You get close to that number the game slows down.Games working harder to render So then how it all works. You have an intense mod running a big map with lots of detail odds are it won't work well. 2_many_beers has done a great job sorting what maps work and do not work on what mods. They might be one or two maps that still cause issues but as they get brought to his attention they get sorted and things get better. Should of been here couple of years ago it was horrible. Now for having to redo everything. This happens when we switch the mod out which we have to do sometimes. We do not do it for no reason and do know it causes everybody to lose everything. We also assume we will lose a player or 2 doing it so we do not take it lightly. you have to take into consideration we are trying to solve a difficult problem which hard to find. If we do find it it might be the answer to all the other servers that have the same issue. Might be a worth while thing to work at. LAst one is the player redirect. Not sure what you are trying to say there? There's ussually 2 slots for members to join and kick a non member with the lowest score. I have it mentioned on the front screen and we are sorry for kicking somebody but it is an XI server and they pay for it. If it doesn't work maybe both slots were taken up already. Do you add the password before you select a server to join ? I do know it works I test it from time to time and have never heard an issue withit yet beside non member don't like it and I understand that. well thats long enough hope it helps some what.

no can do you may only remove materials (and its a real painful process) pre compile

Hey everybody we will have a new server for our COD5 VNFT. Its on the tourny server the old stock FT server or here 68.232.168.139:28960 Were using the original mod and iwd to see if its the reason for the lags of late. Please use it as the main FT server for a while so we can see what happens. Thanks a bunch. Your WAW admin team and Rugger and 2 cats fighting at my feet

I can try that out I need to make a spelling correction anyway -
