Quake / Re: High ping on all tasty-spleen?
« on: May 09, 2014, 04:21:23 PM »
I suggested he do a ping / tracert, netgraph 1 (in q2)

All good suggestions, and I'd recommend WinMTR in particular: http://winmtr.net/download-winmtr/

Not sure what alias he uses these days? WallFly hasn't seen a "Capt. Whoopass" for 1869 days. (I was going to try a reverse trace from the server to whatever his latest IP is.)


:exqueezeme:



Porkchop is Capt. whoopass.  I brought this matter up about a week ago here.  I did the trace route  and posted it to the help section of Tastyspleen.  I called my ISP and complained they told me the could not really do much about it.  So... Until the bottle neck gets cleared where ever the hell it is I will just have to live with it. 

It is funny that a guy that plays on the WODX server I  used to play on still gets 40 ping and he only lives about 20 miles from me. 

Thanks for the help.

Assuming windows, I'd recommend WinMTR (free, open source network tool) for traces:

http://winmtr.net/download-winmtr/

Ok.  I downloaded the program and I got these numbers. 

Now what to do with them?  I clueless.

Thanks. That is helpful.  I will send this off to my ISP and hopefully they can get it back on track.  I need some napalm!

I am in So Cal.  Normally Play on TS Wodx servers with a ping of 44 or lower.  Now the ping is over 200  ALL THE TIME.  OMG. I  Cannot play at this terrible dialup speed> HELP!!


Gumby's server is still at around 40 for me though.

Any ideas or fixes?

Get back over to Wodx and play some damned games for crying out loud...  I think Bloods and Groovetube miss you.   :bigcry:

Warsow server listings, to see who's playing on "wodx test - warsow server"

http://www.warsow.net/wmm_servers
http://dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=warsow

And you can connect without going thru the menu bullshit.  Perfect.

Now lets add  some NAPALM AND GUTS!

That will work.  I used to use black skies before I got my eyes fix because of the glare from the extra light.  Now I like it because it helps me pick off campers sitting on the top of buildings shooting at me.. (poser?  Is that u?)

Also,  we need a command that allows us to minimize the game to desktop with out logging out.  That would be REAL nice.

Thanks for the help!

Here's a new config I tweaked for those with shitty computers or HPBs who still want their game to look good:

Quote from: low.cfg
seta gl_ext_GLSL 0
seta gl_ext_texture_compression 1
seta gl_ext_multitexture 1
seta gl_ext_vertex_buffer_object 1

seta r_picmip 0             //set this to 1 if you don't care for nice textures
seta r_skymip 2
seta r_fastsky 0
seta r_texturemode GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST
seta r_texturefilter 0
seta r_stencilbits 0
seta r_bloom 0

seta r_detailtextures 0

seta r_portalmaps 0
seta r_portalmaps_maxtexsize 256

seta r_lodbias 2
seta r_subdivisions 16

seta r_texturebits 16
seta r_colorbits 0

seta r_dynamiclight 2
seta r_lighting_vertexlight 0            //set this to 1 if you want an extra bit of performance and don't care for nice lighting
seta r_lighting_deluxemapping 0

seta r_offsetmapping 0
seta r_offsetmapping_reliefmapping 0

seta r_shadows_pcf 0
seta r_shadows_maxtexsize 800

seta cg_shadows 1
seta cg_outlineModels 0
seta cg_outlineWorld 0
seta cg_outlinePlayers 0
seta cg_simpleItems 0            //set this to 1 if you want to avoid loading item/gun models and instead draw them as icons

vid_restart;
wait;

Right-click and copy low.cfg into your weapons folder, then type: exec low.cfg
Let me know if you come up with something more optimized that still looks OK.


I copied and pasted the above cfg commands exactly as you said and the game performance was vastly improved for me.  The graphics were a little lower, but not by much.

My computer is only about a year old with no game video card. 

In the old quake engine you had a command to change the sky.  (I like "sky black").
Are those commands available in the new engine?

Great that you got it working, so now we're a step closer to getting this shit operational LOL. It's the beginnings that are always the hardest :P

set in_joystick "1"

and it should be...

seta in_joystick "1"

I think both commands should work fine, but either way I updated the file anyway.


The command  "set" makes more sense. 


I have tried to log on to the server a couple time and it fails to connect because of map compatibility issues  (I have the same problems on El Paso server too).

Maybe I need to delete some maps that are on my end to force the program to  download new versions that are on the server end.

Got it working now.  I have put autoexe.cfg and config.cfg files all over the place (4 different places)  and I finally must have got them in the right location.  Thanks Poser and Ruiner.   It is really tricky where to put these config files so that the game can  see it correctly.

NOTE:  Ruiner in your alias file you have  made a little error.  You have
the following

set in_joystick "1"

and it should be...

seta in_joystick "1"


Barton-  Thanks.  I forgot about that type of program for these pads.  Mine came with one but it is an old version that will not work on  Windows 7 for some reason.

I did all that stuff.  Still does not  read the commands in the exec files.  Also,
the game will not recognize the hook alias in the weapons folder's  autoexec.cfg file.


Now here is an interesting thing also,  in the game browser I set the Wodx test server in the favorites file and I looked the listing and the gametype listing came up  as "error".  Check that out.

I compared source code for 0.61 and 1.0 and that stuff hasn't changed, so you should still be able to use those keys like before  (unless it's some weird bug) :ohreally:

When I go to Options> Input  on the main menu there is no toggle for using a joystick.  Just stuff for the mouse input selections.

Interesting that the new version of Warsow does not have any way of binding my  favorites keys.   Aux keys and Joy keys.   (from a sidewinder gamepad)  :( 

The lower version did.
