Hi everyone!

My friends and I are organizing an old-school LAN party with about 8 people, all playing locally on modern gaming PCs. We’ll be running a dedicated server, and I want to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. I’ve decided to use the Quake3e engine for the server and we will be using OSP mod.

I’ve configured some network-related settings, but I’m not sure if I can optimize them further or if any of these cvars might be unnecessary or overkill. Here’s what I have so far:

SERVER SETTINGS

set sv_pure "1"
set sv_fps "125"
set server_maxpacketsmax "125"
set server_maxpacketsmin "125"
set sv_maxRate "0"
set pmove_fixed "0"


CLIENT SETTINGS
seta cg_predictitems "0"
seta cl_maxpackets "125"
seta cl_packetdup "0"
seta cl_timeNudge "0"
seta net_noipx "1"
seta net_noudp "0"
seta pmove_fixed "0"
seta pmove_msec "8"
seta rate "50000"
seta snaps "125"

------------

The only issue I’ve noticed so far is with jump pads. When I use them, I don't always hear the sound. It happens very rarely but it's a bit annoying. Although I think it only happens with the jumpers I use; I can always hear the sound when others use them.

Are there any fixes or suggestions to fix the jump pads sound issue? Also, if you spot any optimizations I’ve missed, please let me know!

Thanks in advance for your help!


PS: If I'm not mistaken, going beyond 30000 rate is unnecesary, right? And maybe sv_fps 125 is way too much?
