play with client prediction, it will be used if client ping is above what server allows

game will predict and carry on with using the last known unlagged state, make other players run along in a straight line, when unlagged, players will be somewhere else

which stops your game just freezing when lagged

its better to have no prediction

is that what happens in militia?

no, would if you tards coded it all, with all erpdrops and unmovable vehicles, msg overflows

militia is all proper and the glitches are nearly all gone, i waste £4 on slakware and unbuntu and do world domination with a linux realease if the crappy OS builds it

l2linux

I used to do this years<<< ago with the rate command or something like that, someone would moan my 30 ping vs their 80 so I would bump mine up a bit so it would be equal.

The problem I found is I would rather play someone with a better ping than hinder my own expereince because if you're used to playing with a reasonable ping its simple more desirable to find another opponent than making sure you both have a crappy game.

I could be wrong but I think it's more a question of maxpackets/second, less of rate. also: scoreboard pings in probably almost all games are off by miles.

put prediction to near and just above your avarage ping, 90ms, its probaly set to 1000 like Q4

yes, lets go out of our caves and kill our dinner with wooden stick.

damn right, and smoke it, for some king trout

get bord, got a week to spare, got a bling mountain bike, ride across walse or scotland, take a reel of 10lb fishing line and some 7 or 12, and 18 hooks

unless your a nerd and stick to the paths and roads, no point having a whole rucksack with a puncture repair kit in and a pair of socks

ghetto heads dont wear spandex

water purifier quick and easy, just boil the stream if you sit your ass down for a hour for 2

obviously more interesting if you have a blond with you, or hook up with 1, and the sun goes down

what

wifthout all the nerds, assholes and twats in spandex, DH/XX/FR is the same world as snowboarding, with after parties, and camp fires, smoking weed and drinking beer, and a whindup ipod charger

life not sticking to the paths and trails on a map

point blank without the armed robberies, for some, and snowboarding is for drum n bass, and the limit is 360s for every trick on every jump for everyone through the whole compitition

and take superglue for rambo in nam, for deep gashes by sticks, in hte middle of nowhere

you watch the gosh gadget show, orange bikes are crap, suppose to go down the mountain they walked up with 24inch welded rims for strength and controlability, not they start off slope they call a DH

with a rock n roll before you start and a hell muther fucker

you remind me of jonesy

and i am worried coz i started this :/

don't worry, he's far away. unless he cycles.

i was worried about his health :)

like a kat, slime or etc in your tubes to find punctures faster, and be ray meirs and fix them with sap off trees

i dont care for politics and cosmic orgies

and i never understood slope DHs, hes gettings all excited too


this ones alright with alot more speed

I had in view of tournament matches (in a greater degree) where it is essentially important. As it is important and for spectators as it would be desirable to observe a match without unjustified advantages of this or that player.

There are some states in which players have problems with a server choice at game on online the championship and the reason for it is ping. : (

And of technical aspects and possibility of an embodiment of this idea in a reality will probably take care Id Software if it seems to them actual.

should be an option and easy to implement. i had this idea for a long time

you wont be able to get fair net conditions anyway
you equalize the ping, now what about spikes,paket loss, ...

to BalKanFM

You mean callvote? This option?
I think that its creation - problem Id.
I do not think that this option can to do much harm or prevent whom that. It can help those to whom will it is necessary for it to take advantage.

There is one problem. I have no representation how to bring this all to the notice Id.: (

to Nukm

I think that it will not affect a communication quality at all. If you mean it, after all Id it will make only taking into account that that all will be optimum.

Once again I am sorry for that that has misunderstood something or has written.
Badly I know English.

^ to Kost1k, BigMcLargeHugeXX is right u should listen to him

QuakeWorld had sv_minping since eons ago

And it worked?
That is the algorithm is. But it is not enough for a tournament match of it. This client command.
And it is necessary something uncontrollable the client in the course of a match (callvote).

wtf 35 ping is high in ql?!?!!

I have simply given an example.
There were situations (k1llsen - Cooller) for example. When the difference in ping was equal 40. And how to play? They did not have a choice : )

Sure they should have played on a swedish server and not on a russian one ;).

Sry, but I don't get it why i have to suffer from someone's bad internet connection. It's not my problem and I'll never cripple my own game experience because someone is living in timbuktu and connects via a 56k modem.
If you want fair conditions you'll have to visit lans, play vs guys from your region or just deal with it and get used to the certain circumstances.
Concerning online tournaments I would prefair a admin decicion which prevents games like the mentioned cooller vs k1llsen game.
The thing is even if you equalize the ping you will still have loss conduction (Leistungsdämpfung, don't know a proper english word for it), server location which simply fucks up the whole "fair" ping. I mean I ping 22ms to german , 30 to french and netherland servers and approximately 45 to swedish servers. I can play on all the mentioned servers without having any problems. Maybe lg and rail is a bit weaker on swedish servers but it still feels good to me. But have you ever played on polish servers? Those are the most fucked up servers I have ever played on so far. I ping 40ms to them and using lg is just a pain in the ass on a polish server. It's nowhere near to swedish servers though I have a slightly higher ping.

the english term you're looking for would be "pole connection"

To your data a difference in ping 40 it is a lot of : )

please, don't invade europe now for having better pings :)

I can see what you're getting at, but why punish someone for having a great connection? I mean, if such a thing was implemented, i'd surely just play on 200 ping as the only guy in the world and force everyone off their game by playing on my terms. i hope you know what i mean, but this just wouldnt work. Also the ping problem will slowly vanish the more expanded fiberoptics get..

you'll still see 50+ pings around the globe simply for the limited speed of light, let alone possible delays in repeaters/routers and similar.. so fiber won't get rid of pings around the globe, just narrow it even more for neighbour regions.

Guys, I do not mean compulsory use of this function. I meant that it could be useful in some situations, in consent opponents. I have given an example k1llsen vs cooller because then cooller have agreed to play with ping 60 vs 20 and k1llsen have agreed to play the remained 2 games with ping 80 vs 10. It would seem to me in that situation it is much easier to play ping 60 vs ping 60, using a similar option.
Here that I meant.

Did you post in QuakeLive forums about this?

Yes, I have made it. But whether there is in it a sense?

more sense than posting here

your english is nothink on the lan

used online-translator :P

OP, it has actually been tried before. There's some problem with the implementation. Every ping equalizer seems to have horrendous side effects. So the proper implementation is probably non-trivial and beyond the abilities or interest of programmers.

It makes perfect sense that it would be possible and also work. It could also have a use for stabilizing ones ping. For example your ping fluctuates on a server between 53 and 58, so you set minimum ping to say 60, and it stays completely stable.

A possible problem here is the speed at which ping fluctuates. It probably fluctuates faster than the game can update it, but I'm not sure about that. Continuous calculations and recalculations are bound to cause some overhead though.
