Hi guys,

Recently installed q3 (e+) on my linux server.
Colocated it in Amsterdam / NL, pings are superb but still one thing is annoying me.

When i play on the server i am experiencing "framerate loss", or "weird player movement". No server / client lags, no yellow spikes.

But somehow playing on the server does not yet "feel" right.

I suspect this to be a configuration problem. :!:

Can anybody test/check this out? Any reply's are welcome ! Big grin

Server 194.109.120.29:27960 / Project 9 CTF

I cannot connect now cause i'm at work but make sure you check the sv_fps set this value between 20 to 30 start at 20 and test also check the server_com_hunkmegs and make it at least 128 to 256. maybe that will help.

I cuurently run:

set sv_maxrate "25000"
set sv_fps "21"
set snaps "40"
set cl_maxpackets "50"
set com_zoneMegs "24"
set com_hunkMegs "65

For my server's connection settings.

If i check my running process:
root 6056 0.5 3.3 92476 43128 pts/1 Ss+ 00:48 0:02 /home/ruffie/quake3/q3ded

It tells me it does hardly consume any cpu or memory.
So would an increase benefit? I doubt it Thinking

Thanks for your reply Happy

set sv_fps "30" <- most ppl say they got packetloss on a server where its arround 20

and this cl_maxpackets stuff, pls make that out of ur server.cfg (cl_ are client commands and they are not needet in server.cfg's) Happy

set com_hunkmegs "120" <- i have set it to this, got more good experience on that

set sv_minping "0"
set sv_maxping "25000"

that are the settings which i got in my server.cfg which are relevant @ ping/net settings ... u can test them here: 87.118.109.69:27960

Also check the line which u start the server with ... following parameters should be in there

screen -A -m -d -S 1on1serv ./q3ded +set fs_game excessiveplus +exec xx.cfg +set dedicated 2 +set net_port xxx +set net_ip 87.118.109.69

thats my starting line, the important things are: Starting with q3ded ... the last point ... the net_ip u only need to set when ur server got more than 1 ip otherwise its senseless and will not work Happy

Try a bit arround with this things here and when u dont get it right, ask again and i will send u my server.cfg for testing.

clients with default settings will get showed packetloss around 20 if sv_fps is 30.

game will still run smoothly, clients need higher snaps and maxpackets for fixing the imaginary packetloss (server doesnt recive enough packets from client)

off topic: I'm hypernite, played under the nick of ruffnezz / ruffie / x-org.

Been playing q3 for ages, but fell in love with e+.

Now love has got a grip on me and i decided to set up my own server on
a 100 mbit line.

or as "Chopper" would've said: i'm just a bloke Big grin

Greets,

Hypernite

Base:

I found out that an increase in the set hunk-megs will slow my ingame speed
down.. which is weird..

My linux box has 1280 mb ecc ram in it so that shouldn't be a problem.
For now i have adapted my settings and changed them to:

set sv_maxrate "25000"
set com_hunkmegs "64
set com_zoneMegs "64"
set sv_minping "0"
set sv_maxping "2500"
set g_speed 400
set sv_allowDownload "1"
set sv_floodprotect "1"
set sv_fps "30"
set ttycon 0
set snaps "40"
set dedicated "2"

Should be similliar to your config but it steel feels "lagged", i am missing frames. I can tell by moving around as spectator.

Unfortunatly the server you told me to check out was not up at the time of this writing (21 dec 22:30).
