I know because I have cable and play DSL users every day. I have 30-50 ping and they have 100-150. This is always apparent regardless of server or day. Overall cable has higher bandwith anyway, which is what gives the lower latency. Trust me I go to school for this stuff.
Nothing thats a big deal but I noticed that the "Sticky:" text of the sticky threads is the same text as the thread name. This is slightly confusing at first when looking for where the stickies end and the standard posts begin. Making the text bold or a different color would definitely help in...
I play source every day and can safely say the netcode is worse than HL1. If anyone is over 100 ping shots arent registered as fast, putting 56K and DSL users in the lead. As far as rates go if you have cable use these commands and you should get a constant 30 ping:
rate "10000"
cl_cmdrate...
I disagree. Bulletholes are also a step forward as you said. I know CS has only so much realism but you don't take a bullet to the face without some kind of damage notification (yes, I know and love the "sploosh", lol).
I have a 5600 mobile and it blows for framerates. Try using these in an autoexec.cfg:
mat_bumpmap "0"
mat_specular "0"
mat_antialias "0"
mat_forceaniso "0"
mat_trilinear "1"
r_shadows "0"
r_3dnow "0"
r_sse "1"
r_mmx "1"
r_dynamic "0"
That should add a good 20 fps to your game. It...
All of that I have been planning as I said I will give a much better outlook on the development when the SDK comes out. I used quake and CS as a baseline. Trust me it will be far from duplicating both of those games.
Have you guys tried suggesting things on steampowered's forum? It's a nightmare. I actually got banned because I flamed a mod because he deleted my thread that I asked for support on. People were spamming and trolling me and instead of doing thier job they just deleted my well written post about...
There are no hacks for source out yet. The only thing that is even close to a hack is a speed glitch and it works with any game. It's a tool in windows that is used to speed up programs or something. If you want to know the latest check the active cheat sites. Regardless of if you support them...
If you dig weird electronic music then I would definitely suggest Infected Mushroom and Astral Projection. Think of them as the heaven and hell of mixing :P
Hey, Im new to these forums and would like to start by saying hello to everyone. This definitely seems like a better place than the steampowered forums. On to my ranting . . .
My mod that I wish to develop is called the asylum. It will be a realistic comabt simulator so to speak but will have...
