Force ratefix

[ThirtyEight]

Is there anyway you can add some sort of addon to the server which forces you to have your rates fixed? I know I have seen it before on other servers. The addon I saw on the other server was something like this:when you join, if you do not have your rates fixed a messagebox will appear that says something like "Press 1 to have your rates fixed" or else you will be kicked in 30seconds.

Would be great if you could fix this. Since a lot of people have lowrates and do not know how to fix them or even how to open their consoles..

word ! that would be really nice.

Yeah. Many problems with rates. They say i do not lag. But their rates is so fucked up that they can long knife biggtime always.

Ye does anyone know how to fix Longknife on servers?

I bought a 42 slot server from EH like 1 week ago, and the long knifes are Annoying ^^

I asked Nikooo but he has no clue :<

 

[WhiskeY]

the ping maybe perfect but always people with bad rates. your problem is = rates

 

[dext3r]

and what rates should i have to play without lagging?

 

[Zm_Prod]

Yeah, in the beginning in the match the rates are so high/low that they walk infront of me (5 meters) knife :S

 

[Phanty]

In the server config is the best place to enforce the rates, as client side is inaccurate..

Tomorrow I'll take a look at the configs and see if I can tweak them a little..

Have you had time to check it yet?

Have you had time to check it yet?

Not yet, been a little busy, I'll get it checked in the next few days

 

[SOUR]

How about now? haha

brilliant idea ^^ this will even out the rates for all players

 

[soja]

simply set sv_minrate to something like 49000, and sv_maxrate to 50000 (or to whatever you think is appropriate).

This will enforce all clients to use rates between 49000 and 50000, you can typically raise this without any trouble.

The only downside to this is dial-up players will have performance suffer(if they aren't suffering already from the lag of a low rate)

also setting sv_mincmdrate and sv_minupdaterate to something like 66 and setting sv_maxcmdrate and sv_maxupdaterate to 67, would also enforce players to use between those rates.

If you are using a SM plugin to see peoples rates, you should just uninstall it if you plan to enforce rates through server.cfg. It will lie and tell you the client has lower rates when in fact they are running at your required rates.(Tested on my surf server)

 

[chrisxp]

Servers should adopt the new config upon a map change/restart!

They all have now;

sv_minrate 49000
sv_maxrate 50000
sv_minupdaterate 66
sv_maxupdaterate 66

Sorry it took so long :$
