Thought I'd post this here as well.......

New Rune Quake server up at: 69.12.76.120, still in the process of setting up a DNS address (awaiting domain registration)

In the mean time, feel free to check it out, it's located in Virginia on a very speedy connection

[S435]

Temporary DNS name: etches.servequake.com

Thanks for putting it up. I tried it from the UK tonight and it was pinging 110-120 as opposed to Shmack's 140-180 mind you there were only 2-3 of us on there. I would imagine the ping in the US would be extremely good.

Might be nice to see some custom maps though :d

Kind regards

cool server. I noticed you upped the maxspeed on it.

[S435]

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Yes, I always find upping the maxspeed a bit helps make it feel smoother.

Just submitted to gameaholic.com, and it would seem it's the second in the list when sorting by ping.

Yeah I used to do the same things on occassions, you can also play with the ticrate a little to make some small improvements dependant upon your player base.

I've just posted the details on to the TU Quake clan site for you in case any of them miss it here.

Kind regards

Thanks for that

The ticrate is set to the default at the moment (0.05) but I will adjust it if the need arises.

Is it a proquake server and if so is it running on linux? If so I'm curious how you managed to compile it?

[S435]

Yup it's a Proquake server. Running on Windows 2003 server.

Looks like it's Baker's version of Proquake so it has to be windows.

Hey,

Nice server , connected from Belgium ping 95-105
I think the maxspeed is way to high tho.

[PapaSmurf]

Decreasing the ticrate to 0.025 and putting maxspeed back at default should make it feel more smooth as well.

Hey, Dragged Dopa out with me last night. Played a bit on the server.. Did you know it's spiking pings? Had a hard time fighting him, everytime we came head to head shooting rockets it would lag out. Next thing I know I'm dead. Thought I would give a heads up.. Has anyone else run into this problem?

[Paradi$e]

Your server is great, I ping 25, I did not have any opponents. I want to see more people on this server. Are you running Slot's RuneQuake mod, as it looks strikingly similar to it.

I also like what you did with the weapon selection notification. That is neat, you get less missfires as you are always notified on the currently selected weapon.

Thumbs up!

Thanks for the feedback, Guys. Net-Tyme - Nobody has reported anything of this nature yet, how long do these spikes last for? Is it everyone in the game or just yourself?
