got some ping trouble

[lazarus]

on my old comp, i had a steady ping at around 50-60

now it's all over the place

 

i had my cmdrate set at 30

and my updaterate at 20

and my ping was all over the place

 

i switched it to 100 for both, but it is still all over the place

and i think its bc of these two values

what should i have them set at?

Anyone still have the link to that GotFrag article on CS config tweaking? That should help you out Laz. I will look for it if no one else finds it before I do.

 

EDIT:

Found it... http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/features/577/

Don't even know if this kinda script still works, but this is what I was using in 1.5 to figure out the best values for those:

 

// Autoexec.cfg entries:

 

// Lag Reduction Settings

 

alias setnetgraph netgraphon3

alias netgraphon3 "net_graph 3; cl_showfps 0; alias setnetgraph netgraphon2"

alias netgraphon2 "net_graph 2; alias setnetgraph netgraphon1"

alias netgraphon1 "net_graph 1; alias setnetgraph netgraphoff"

alias netgraphoff "net_graph 0; alias setnetgraph netgraphfps"

alias netgraphfps "cl_showfps 1; alias setnetgraph netgraphon3"

// Config.cfg entries:

 

bind "PAUSE" "setnetgraph"

bind "PGDN" "r_dn"

bind "PGUP" "r_up"

bind "HOME" "updrup"

bind "END" "updrdn"

bind "INS" "cmdrup"

bind "DEL" "cmdrdn"

 

rate "5000.007"

cl_updaterate "30"

cl_cmdrate "40"

 

Obviously the binds can be whatever, but it helped in nailing down good settings, and also being able to change on the fly depending on the server being played on.

[flux]

try

 

rate 25000

cl_cmdrate 50 or 80 or 101

cl_updaterate 50 or 80 or 101

[THX1138]

rate 20000

cl_cmdrate 60

cl_updaterate 40

 

give it a whirl!

[lazarus]

im a dum-dum.

when flux typed in 25000, i put 2500 in my config......heh

i am totally up and running

 

i wanna thank all the little people who helped me to get here

i wont forget you when im big

 

actually the only problem i have is that when i alt-tab out and go back,

the screen is black, i know that i can fire and run around

i just cant see anything...like being blindfolded
